We recommend the following:
•
Install maintenance flaps or removable rear walls
•
Observe the operating instructions, the driver’s manual and
the maintenance manual
If, in exceptional cases, these requirements cannot be met, the im-
plements and special bodies or parts thereof must be developed
with a quick-release design.
4.10 Secure mounting of implements / counterweights
The minimum and maximum axle loads must be considered, see
section 4.4, page 66.
The implement manufacturer is responsible for secure mounting of
the implement, especially in transport position. When designing the
mounting components and transport locking devices, particular at-
tention must be paid to the following:
•
High longitudinal, transverse and vertical accelerations
•
High shock factors (e.g. driving off-road) with constantly
changing magnitude and frequency
This means that all implements / bodies must be secured against
slipping and lifting. This also applies to loads with the exception of
bulk cargos.
Possible mounting positions and the right securing of counter-
weights are shown in the following drawings. In case of some rear
mounted implements it could be necessary to equip the vehicle with
a front mounted counterweight (see Figure 4.14). Therefore suitable
claws that are aligned with the pocket of the front mounting plate,
should be used, see Figure 4.20, page 87.

Applications with front mounted implements could require the installa-
tion of counterweights on the rear of the truck to achieve the minimum
rear axle load and to avoid an overloading of the front axle. Therefore
two mounting positions are possible:
•
Mounting in the rear mounting brackets
The fastening method of a counterweight in the rear mounting brack-
ets (code D50) should be preferred. Advantages of counterweight in
D50:
•
Low center of gravity
•
Secure fastening
