3.1 Frame Specifications 3.2 Drilling Holes in Frame
Never drill holes in the following areas of the Sprinter:
– In the top or bottom of the chassis frame. (Exceptions
are holes at the rear and of the frame. However, these
holes may not be drilled in areas with a supporting
function for the rear axle or parts attached to the
frame.)
– In the area of sectional changes in the longitudinal
frame member, such as frame drops and frame
offsets.
– At load introduction points (e.g, directly at the spring
support).
Do not alter the wheel base or lengthen the frame of
the Sprinter Cargo Van or Passenger Van. Due to
the vehicle's self- carrying structure, any such
alteration may seriously harm its structural
integrity, its road worthiness and the safety of the
vehicle.
Do not drill holes in these areas. These holes may
reduce the strength of the frame and may seriously
affect structural integrity, its road worthiness and
the safety of the vehicle.
