Welding work on the chassis
– When performing welding work on the vehicle, disconnect
the connectors from all the electronic devices (including
the sensors and actuators) if they are located within a dis-
tance of 1 metre from the welding point and within a dis-
tance of 1 metre from the earth clamp.
– Disconnect the battery clamps if they are located within a
distance of 1 metre from the welding point or the earth
clamp.
– If the battery clamps must be disconnected, all the elec-
tronic units assembled on the chassis must also be discon-
nected.
Welding work on the bodywork
– Follow the guidelines given in “Welding work on the chas-
sis”. Also follow any special welding instructions given for
performing welding work on the bodywork.
Comment
Protect plastic lines, wiring harnesses, operating cables,
plastic components, air bellows and springs (in particular,
parabolic springs) against welding splashes. These compo-
nents must not be exposed to temperatures greater than 70°
C.
Stainless steel must not come into contact with other types of
steel or materials which contain carbon. Therefore, use sep-
arate grinding discs, drills, etc. for stainless steel. Only grind-
ing discs with an aluminium oxide or resin base may be used
for stainless steel.
Steel brushes should be made of stainless steel.
