4 Implement / Body Installation
4.1 General Notes
Before starting work with implements and bodies, a review must be
carried out to see whether the selected chassis is suitable for the
planned implement or body. Also check that the chassis model and
its equipment correspond with the intended application. Vehicle
drawings, technical data and other information are available on the
Unimog Resource CD or may be requested from the Unimog Im-
plement Manager listed at the beginning of this guideline.
The Unimog chassis provides various possibilities for implement
and body mounting, see section 4.12 on page 84.
4.2 Free movement of implements/bodies on the chassis
The free movement and functional safety of all parts of the chassis,
especially moving parts such as wheels, axles, pan hard rods,
springs, propeller shafts, steering, etc. must also be guaranteed fol-
lowing the fitting of the implements or the bodies,
even at maximum
axle articulation, maximum and minimum axle loads and maxi-
mum steering angles (left and right)
.
The inspection for free movement and sufficient clearance at the
wheels and axles at full suspension travel, max steering angles and
axle articulation can best be carried out after removing the springs.
Verification must be provided through testing. To do this, the
diagonally opposing wheels of the front and rear axles must be
raised in such a way (min. 11.81 in / 300 mm) that the other two
wheels
are only just touching the ground, see Figure 4.1.
If snow chains are to be used, the free movement tests must be car-
ried out with the chains fitted.
Caution:
Ensure that the vehicle is po-
sitioned securely before car-
rying out a chassis frame tor-
sion test. If approach ramps
are used, these must be se-
cured against slipping and
tipping. On lift platforms, the
tire contact surfaces must be
moistened to reduce drag.
