•
In case of side doors, the drain holes for the water must remain
clear even after installation on the external subframe!
•
Use the crane and a lighting gear to position the finished box body
onto the subframe or the chassis (
Fig. 3.7.1
). Never lift the
assembled box body by the roof eyebolts.
Risk of pulling out!
•
In case of bodies with multi-leaf side doors, if necessary, stiffen the
subframe in the area of the side doors and approx. 1 m to the right
and left of it. If necessary, the stiffening must be extended over the
fulllength of the body. The body builder is responsible for the design
and its execution.
•
In case of bodies with coupé doors, you must stiffen the subframe
at the coupé doors as well as approx. 1 m to the right of them, espe-
cially in the area of the step; e.g. by reinforcing with gusset plates.
The body builder is responsible for this.
•
When installing floorboards/panels, always take into consideration
their swelling behaviour. Ask your board/panel supplier. Basically,
the joint between the floor and the body must be sealed. The body
builder is solely responsible for this.

After mounting the box body on the substrukture, latch the cover
into the bottom rail section (
drawing on the left
). Insert the cover
into the clean (cleaned) bottom groove and knock or press it in from
one end, starting from the top. Depending on the kit length, this is a
task for 2 employees.
Attention:
If box bodies are unpainted, do not attach the cover
until after painting, to prevent corrosion damage.
•
After mounting the covers, use bond-activating cleaner to clean the
remaining vertical gap between the bottom rail or rather the cover
and the respective front and rear pillar and seal it with 1C sealant.
•
The assembled box body can be handled, but not loaded. Note that
the final strength of the sealant is not reached until after 24 hours at
20 °C. The operating temperature should not be below 15 ° Celsius.
•
In case of subsequently mounted parts or changes to AluTeam com-
ponents, pay attention to corrosion protection and
above all,
prevent contact corrosion caused by different materials!
Otherwise the guarantee and warranty for the painting and coating
will be voided.
