7 Construction of bodies 7.4 Clearance between chassis parts and bodies 7.4 Clearance between chassis parts and bodies The minimum clearance between chassis parts and rear body parts must be kept according to the following table of minimum clearance standards. Part
Minimum Clearance and Notes
1. The Surrounding part of T/M
25 mm {0.98 in.} at surrounding part of transmission except rear part.
2. Clutch and Transmission Assembly
Do not install any rear body part in the area of 100 mm {3.94 in.} of the rear of the clutch and transmission ass'y, as the ass'y must be moved backward in the same inclination line of engine, to pull out the clutch spline shaft, when the transmission ass'y is removed from engine for service.
3. Upper part of Transmission
Keep more than 100 mm {3.94 in.} of clearance between the upper surface of upper cover and the rear body part if possible, because this clearance is used when the transmission upper cover is removed.
4. The surrounding part of the Propeller shaft and the Rear axle
Min. 25 mm {0.98 in.} of the surrounding part.
5. The brake hose (which connects to the front and rear wheel)
Maintain a minimum of 50 mm {1.97 in.} of clearance. This brake hose is considered to move when vehicle is driven.
6. The cab back and the surrounding part of the engine
No equipment must be mounted within 100 mm {3.94 in.} in the cab back, except the subframe and the side members. If any equipment inevitably comes within this range, install it in such a position which is more than 300 mm {11.8 in.} from both sides of engine rear part and not over the engine. Also take care that all equipment must not stand in the way of air flow which is discharged rearward, downward, or sideward from the engine compartment. If air flow is restricted, engine compartment temperature will excessively rise, resulting in poor engine performance, and fuel pipe and electric wiring overheating. Install a protector as shown below on the cab back or the front of the fixed rear body as high as possible with regard to exhaust so as to block foreign matter, which may come between cab and rear body, from high temperature areas of the engine. When a protector is installed on the cab back, use the specialized mounting holes provided. 1 3
