Bodybuilder information
ODYBUILDER INFORMATION Bodywork
It is essential to obtain 1:20th scale chassis drawings from your dealer when fitting body-
work or special equipment (loading crane, fifth wheel, etc...). For the attachment of this
bodywork or equipment and also electrical connections, we ask manufacturers and body
builders to comply with the RENAULT TRUCKS specifications and standards drawn up for
this purpose.
These are readily available from your dealer.
Welding on vehicle
Important precautions to be taken without fail prior to any welding operations
The vehicle is equipped with numerous electronic circuits and numerous ECUs. Prior to
carrying out any electric welding work, it is essential to eliminate all potentials by connect-
ing all the ECUs to earth. This can be done quickly by disconnecting the positive (+)cable
from the battery terminal and connecting it to earth and then closing the master switch, if
fitted. Place the earthing clamp as close as possible to the weld, but never attach it to a ro-
tating part (prop shaft, hub, fan, etc...), nor to any sub-assembly having moving parts (air
compressor, turbocharger, etc...). Nearby plastic pipes and electrical cables are to be protect-
ed or removed. This also applies for grinding or drilling work. When you reconnect the
batteries, When reconnecting the batteries, respect the polarities by always beginning with
the positive (+) terminal. If the polarity is reversed, you run the risk of causing irreparable
damage to the electronic components.
