Assembly
Read and understand all instructions before beginning assembly.
The weight of the vehicle shall be between 6,120 kg and 11,340 kg for tested performance.
Refer to the Australian Design rules – Vehicle Standards Bulletin 6 (VSB6) for the Australian
regulations regarding chassis modifications and attachments. The system may be attached to the
truck by attaching parts to the vehicle frame, using specified hardware in the VSB6. Do not weld
any TMA components to the truck frame. It is recommended the use of side fishplate to mount the
unit to the chassis (as per page 13, figure 8). The addition of the side fishplates allows for the
removal and replacement of the mounting system, if the unit was to be damaged in a TMA impact.
Use certified or professional welders to ensure durable attachment of the TMA system.
Disconnect the truck battery before any welding on truck or TMA.
The truck frame must be suitable and accessible for mounting a TMA. If there are any questions
regarding the suitability, contact the Customer Service Department for input as to your
specific application.
