DOT (Department of Transportation)

 - A federal agency dealing with regulations

concerning both the manufacture and operation of motor vehicles and motor
vehicle equipment.  See NHTSA.

Driveline

 - The driveshaft and associated joints.

Drum

 - Any spool on which are wrapped ropes used in machine operation.

E

Extend Cylinder

 - Cylinders used to extend or retract boom structures.

F

Filter

- A  device  whose  primary  function  is  the  retention  by  a  porous  media  of

insoluble  contaminants  from  a  fluid.

Final Stage Manufacturer

 - A person, firm, or corporation who performs such

manufacturing  operations  on  an  incomplete  vehicle  that  it  becomes  a
completed  (end-user)  vehicle.

FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards)

 - Regulations promulgated

by  NHTSA  under  Public  Law  89-563,  which  are  mandatory  and  must  be
complied with when motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment are
manufactured  and certified  thereto.

Frame

 - Structure on which either the upper or lower equipment is located.

Frame  Cutoff

  -  Centerline  of  rear  axle(s)  to  the  rearmost  point  of  the  chassis

frame  as  modified  for  body  installation.

Frame Lift

 - See Underlift.

Frame  Section  Modulus

  -  The  engineering  term  that  indicates  the  relative

strength of frames as it relates to shape.  It takes into account frame depth,
flange width, and material thickness.  All other things being equal, the frame
with the largest section modulus will have the greatest strength and stiffness,
i.e., the ability to more effectively resist deflection under load.

Free Spool

 - The operation of unspooling wire rope from a drum by pulling on

the  end  of  the  wire  rope  while  the  winch  is  stationary.    The  drum  is
disconnected  (declutched)  from  its  powertrain  during  this  operation.
