Risk of injury

Do not modify any bolted connections that are 
relevant to safety, e.g. that are required for wheel 
alignment, steering or braking functions.

When unfastening bolted connections make sure 
that, when work is complete, the connection again 
corresponds with the original condition.

Welding work on the chassis/body may only be 
carried out by trained and qualified personnel.

The body, the attached or installed equipment and 
any modifications must comply with the applicable 
laws and directives as well as work safety or 
accident prevention regulations, safety rules and 
accident insurer requirements.

6.3 Drilling work on the vehicle frame

Drilling work on side rails

All factory holes in side rails are regularly spaced 
{50 mm (1.97 in.) in longitudinal pitch and 40 mm 
(1.57 in.) in vertical pitch}. Use existing holes instead 
of drilling new holes. Never drill holes in any top flange 
areas. Also avoid enlarging existing holes in principle. 
If it is unavoidable to enlarge a hole, limit the hole 
diameter to 13 mm (0.51 in.).

No load may be applied to the center of the web of the 
longitudinal member (diaphragm effect). If this is 
unavoidable, make sure that there is a large area of 
support on both sides of the web.
