Auxiliary equipment should be attached to the frame using consoles, which are welded to the longitudinal member in the neutral zone. If a bolted connection to the frame cannot be avoided, spacer sleeves should be welded into the hollow profile members as a supplementary measure.

Observe:

• General notes on modifications to series prouktion vehicles (see 5.5)
• Drilling in chassis frame (see 4.6)

For custom parts attached to the exterior or interior, the auxiliary equipment manufacturer’s regulations should be observed.

When additional units are installed subsequently, it is necessary to make sure that the function of vehicle components is not impaired and that the clearances of vehicle components are not obstructed in any driving situation.
Furthermore the regulations issued by the manufacturer of the additional units must be complied with for add-on or installed units.
