Load body should be mounted with
the help of ‘U’ bolts and must not be
fixed on to the chassis with the help
of bolts and nuts by drilling holes in
chassis frame. This weakens the
chassis frame which is liable to crack.
Do not reinforce, weld or drill holes
in the chassis frame. Use six ‘U’ bolts
to fasten the runners on either side
of chassis long member. Tighten ‘U’
bolts nuts (M 16 x 1.5, - 8.8 quality)
to 22 mkg. torque.
