The first fixation point to the left and right just behind the cab is therefore desi
-
gned to sustain heavy vertical loads. Depending on the case in point, the use of
longer screws with spacer sleeves is recommended, to enable this connection to
withstand such loads. In this way, an increase in the elastic capacity is achieved at
the junction between chassis frame and subframe.
In these cases, the use of a type F_2 connection is recommended.

In special cases, where the upper body is very rigid, e.g. in van bodies, refrigerated
vehicles, tankers, etc., which are expected to be used on rough roads, the use of a
connection with a high degree of flexibility is recommended in the area behind the
cab (e.g. using springs or rubbers). At most the first and second connections of this
type can be used behind the cab (left and right). The remaining connections must
be made with normal flexible consoles to confer the required strength and rigidity
to the assembly between the chassis frame and subframe.
In these cases, HMC recommends using type F_3 connections.
