3.5.6 Longitudinal Reinforcement
with Unladen Front Axle
When working with a lifting hoist, the entire vehicle may be
lifted on 4 hydraulic pillars: The wheels lose all contact
with the ground. Due to heavy weight of the front of the
vehicle, this causes impermissibly high tension in the
longitudinal frame members in the area of the front
support.
A reinforcement of the chassis frame is essential for
applications. To this end, fit a mounting frame through the
rear wall of the cab under the base of the seats and secure
this with an additional console and a bolt connection.
3.6 Spare Tire
Prior to mounting an additional spare tire to the
Sprinter, make sure that all applicable national statutory
standards and regulations are observed.
Spare tires must be mounted below the frame at the side
of the frame or on the Sprinter body according to the
vehicle technical drawings.
Ensure that the spare tire is easily accessible.
To prevent injury and accidents, secure spare tire
with at least two separate fastening systems, which
provide redundant attachment.
