2. CHASSIS INFORMATION
2.1 LEVELLING THE CHASSIS

It is essential for the quality and durability of the

bodied vehicle that the chassis should be in a
completely level position when it is being bodied.
The side members should be parallel and the
chassis frame must not be twisted. Frame height
differences on the left/right of ≤ 1.5% of the 2
distance from ground to the frame upper flange
are within the limits. Variations > 1.5% must be
notified to DAF Trucks, before any work are
carried out. 20061604-201

For the levelling of an air-suspended chassis, at

least three adjustable supports must be used.
These supports must not be removed during the
bodying of the vehicle.
WARNING! Each time the vehicle is
moved, the chassis must be levelled
again!

2.2 DRILLING OF HOLES

When mounting components, use the existing

holes in the chassis whenever possible,
preferably the holes according to BAM 1 and 3
(see section: 3.2: "BAM's - body attachment
methods"), which are factory-made and
exclusively intended for the superstructure. The
location of these holes is therefore indicated on
the bodybuilders' drawings.
Adhere to the following instructions when drilling
holes:
- NEVER drill holes in the flanges of the side
members. > 70 mm (2x)
- NEVER drill holes in the tapered ends of a
tractor chassis frame.
- NEVER weld filler pieces into any unused
holes of the chassis frame.
- To prevent the forming of cracks from the
drilled holes, these holes must always be de-
burred - by 45° countersinking (on two 1 mm
sides!) - and subsequently treated with
primer/paint.
- The drilling of holes less than 70 mm away G001184

from a bend in the chassis frame is not

permitted.
- A hole drilled by mistake close to the radii of
(or within) the tapered section of the chassis
must always be protected against fatigue
cracks at its edges by fitment of the largest
(and accordingly tightened) flange bolt and
nut possible.

2.3 WELDING ON THE CHASSIS

WARNING! Welding on the chassis

is not permitted without a written
permission from DAF, with the
exception of welding operations
required for rear overhang
extensions.

WARNING! For the LF45 hybrid

chassis extra welding guidelines are
applicable; see section:
7.20: "Hybrid system LF45" for more
information.

The following DAF welding instructions should

be observed at all times:
Welding on the chassis
- Disconnect the connectors of electrical and
electronic equipment (sensors and
actuators) and the battery terminals if they
are less than 1 metre away from the chassis
part to be welded or the earth terminal of the
welding equipment.
- If the battery terminals have to be
disconnected, all electronic units mounted
on the chassis and the bulkhead lead-
through connectors should be disconnected,
too.
20061604-203

Measures to be taken when welding!

Welding on the cab

- Always disconnect the batteries (starting
with the negative lead).

©
16 201122
 BODYBUILDERS' GUIDELINES
Chassis Information

- Disconnect the connectors between chassis

and cab (bulkhead lead-through).
- Disconnect the connectors of electrical and
electronic equipment if they are less than 50
cm away from the cab part to be welded or
the earth terminal of the welding equipment.
Welding on the superstructure
- Adhere to the above instructions for 'welding
on the chassis', supplemented by specific
bodybuilders' instructions.
2
General
- The earth terminal should never be attached
to vehicle components such as engine, axles
and springs. Arcing on these parts is not
permitted either, because of the risk of
damage to bearings, springs, etc.
- The earth terminal must make good contact
and be placed as close as possible to the
part to be welded.
- Plastic pipes, rubber parts and parabolic
springs should be well protected against
welding spatter and temperatures higher
than 70°.
- The contact switch must not be in the
accessory or contact position. The contact
key should be removed.
- Reconnect in reversed order of
disconnecting. Ensure that a good earth
connection is made between chassis, engine
and cab.
WARNING! If the connectors are not
disconnected, serious damage may
be caused to the electronic control
units (ECU's) of various vehicle
systems.

See section: 7.13: "Connection points and

permitted power loads" for the connection points
on LF, CF and XF vehicles.

2.4 MODIFYING THE REAR

OVERHANG

For the chassis material to be used for rear

overhang extensions (if they are necessary),
see section 13: "Part numbers".
Extending/shortening the rear overhang
When extending the rear overhang, take note of
the following:
- The maximum rear overhang (AE) extension
is 500 mm, provided that the maximum rear
overhang (AE) length of 60% of the

BODYBUILDERS' GUIDELINES
Chassis Information

- The rearmost cross member must be

retained when the chassis frame is made
longer or shorter.
- When the rear overhang is shortened, at
least 30 mm must be left behind the rear
spring brackets (leaf-sprung chassis) or the
stabiliser bracket (air-sprung chassis).
- The distances between the cross members
in the chassis frame should be not more than
2 1200 mm.
WARNING! The rear overhang of
tractor chassis and of vehicles with
side members of KF 600 material
must NOT be changed

Tapering of chassis side member rear ends

On vehicles used for (high-)volume transport
(lower position of drawbar cross member) and/or
equipped with under-chassis tail lifts, the rear
ends of the side members may be tapered in min
accordance with the dimensions shown in the 0,5H
opposite drawing.

For certain applications, for instance for plant

bodies, it is permitted to make a bend in the rear
overhang. To do this, remove a sector from the
side member, starting from the underside and
ensuring that the upper flange is left intact and
that, after the bending of the chassis, both the
web and the lower flange can be welded together
again. See the opposite drawing.
When doing this, the welding instructions
must always be adhered to.
