electrodes or ground contact clamps for ark welders.
– On Sprinter cabs with insulating mountings, connect
the welding equipment’s earth terminal to the cab.
13.4.2 Bolted Connections
If serial bolts must be changed to longer ones, only bolts
with
– same diameter,
– same firmness, and
– same tread pitch can be used.
13.5 Special Notes on Noise
Reduction
Install noise insulating and flame resistant materials in
order to reduce the noise level inside the Sprinter.
13.5.1 Body Mounting
The transmission of vibrations and structural noise can be
avoided by
– Installation of resilient plastic or rubber interlays
between the frame and the body.
– Installation of hollow rubber springs when mounting
the body on the chassis.
The mounting must ensure of following conditions:
– High degree of rigidity of the mounting both,
longitudinally and laterally.
– Limit body movement on spring deflection and
rebound.
– Secure body against potential detachment.
– Avoid frame whipping to prevent vibration problems or
negative effects on the riding comfort.
Avoid any contact of the ark welder ground clamp
with any of the drive train assemblies, including but
not limited to, engine, transmission, and axles!
