critical clearanceS
rear Wheels and cab
Insufficient clearance between rear tires and body structure may cause damage to the
body during suspension movement. Allow at least 8 inches clearance (see Figure 4–1.)
Normal suspension movement could cause contact between the tires and the body To prevent this, mount the body so
that the minimum clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the body is 8 inches (203 mm) This should be
measured with the body empty See Figure 4–1
figure 4-1.
Minimum Clearance Between Top Of Rear Tires And Body Structure Overhang
maintain adequate clearance between back of cab and the front (leading edge) of mounted
body. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage. see Figure 4–2.
Be sure to provide maintenance access to battery box and fuel tank fill neck.
