MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPORATION, as
the manufacturer of MITSUBISHI FUSO vehicles,
publishes this body/equipment mounting directive to
provide body manufacturers with important technical
information about the basic vehicle. This information
must be observed by the body manufacturer in the
production of bodies and equipment, fittings and
modifications for MITSUBISHI FUSO vehicles.

Due to the large number of body manufacturers and
body types, MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPO-
RATION cannot take into account all the possible
modifications to the vehicle, e.g. performance,
stability, load distribution, center of gravity and
handling characteristics, that may result from the
design of attachments, bodies, equipment or modifi-
cations. For this reason, MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK &
BUS CORPORATION can accept no body manufacturer
liability for accidents or injuries sustained as a result
of such modifications to the vehicles if such modifica-
tions have a negative impact on the overall vehicle.
Accordingly, MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS
CORPORATION will only assume liability as vehicle
manufacturer within the scope of the design, produc-
tion and instruction services which it has performed
itself.

The body manufacturer is bound to ensure that its
bodies and equipment, fittings and modifications are
themselves not defective, nor capable of causing
defects or hazards to the overall vehicle. If this obliga-
tion is violated in any way, the body manufacturer shall
assume full product liability. The body/equipment
mounting directives enable MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK
& BUS CORPORATION to instruct the body manufac-
turer about important aspects that must be observed
when mounting its bodies and equipment, fittings and
modifications.

These body/equipment mounting directives are
primarily intended for the professional manufacturers
of bodies, equipment, fittings and modifications for
our vehicles. As a result, these body/equipment
mounting directives assume that the body manufact-
urer has suitable background knowledge. If you intend
to mount attachments, bodies and equipment on or
carry out modifications to our vehicles, please be
aware that certain types of work (e.g. welding work on
load-bearing components) may only be carried out by
qualified personnel. This will avoid the risk of injury
while also ensuring that the degree of quality required
for the attachments, bodies, equipment and modifica-
tions is given.

1 Introduction

NOISE REGULATIONS

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
established noise emission standards applicable to
medium and heavy trucks in excess of 10,000 lbs.
GVWR manufactured after January 1, 1988 (40 CFR
§205.52), requiring that they must conform to an 80
dB (A) maximum noise level when tested pursuant to
EPA's test procedures.

MFTBC trucks are built in conformance with EPA Noise
Emission Standards. Modified or altered vehicles may
increase in noise emissions; compliance with appli-
cable noise standards are the responsibility of the
subsequent stage manufacturer.

A sample of the Noise Emission Conformity Label is
shown below. This label is affixed to all the vehicles
when shipped from the factory.

DO NOT COVER OVER WITH ANY OTHER LABEL.

This label is affixed to the left-hand side door panel.

1.1 The aim of these directives

1.1 The aim of these directives

These directives serve as instructions for the manu-
facture of attachments, bodies, equipment and for
modification to other make bodies and major assem-
blies. These directives are divided into 9 interlinked
chapters to help you find the information you require
more quickly:

1 Introduction
2 General
3 Planning of bodies
4 Technical threshold values for planning
5 Damage prevention
6 Modifications to the basic vehicle
7 Construction of bodies
8 Calculations
9 Technical data

Appendix
Index

The index, in PDF format, is linked to help you find
the information you require quickly.

Make absolutely sure that you observe the tech-
nical threshold values selected in Section 4 as
planning must be based on these values.

Section 6 "Modifications to the basic vehicle"
(

컄 page 81) and Section 7 "Construction of

bodies" (

컄 page 111) represent the main source of

technical information contained in these body/
equipment mounting directives.
