Welding TECHNICAL DATA ΞΦ95 series 0 0 3. WELDING 3.1 WELDING } No welding of the chassis is allowed without special, written permission by DAF. Exceptions to the above are the welding operations described in the manual 'Bodybuilders' Guidelines'. Non-compliance with welding regulations may cause serious damage to the chassis. Failure to observe the following instructions may damage the electronic components. General - Attach the earth clamp of the welding set as closely as possible to the area on the vehicle where the welding is to be done and ensure that it is well in contact with the part being welded.
- Never attach the earth clamp to vehicle components such as the engine, axles, springs, etc. Arcing on these components is not permitted either. Non-compliance with the above instructions may result in serious damage to bearings, springs, etc. - The accessory or ignition position of the ignition lock must not be switched on. Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock. - Protect plastic piping, rubber components, plastic components, piston rods of hydraulic cylinders and springs (in particular parabolic springs) from welding splashes and temperatures above 70 % C.
Welding on the chassis - When welding on the chassis, disconnect the connectors of all electronic equipment (including sensors and actuators), if they are within a 1-metre radius from the point being welded or within a 1-metre radius from the earthing point. - Disconnect the battery terminals if these are within a within a 1-metre radius from the point being welded or the earth clamp. - If the battery terminals have to be disconnected, all electronic units mounted on the chassis must be disconnected as well. Also disconnect the cab feed-through connectors and disconnect the power supply and earth cables that are connected to the cab. © 200735 3-1
