driver seat adjustment FORD TRANSIT 2006 7.G Body And Equipment Mounting Section Manual

For Chassis Cab with tail lift design as described
above it is recommended to use unique body
sub-frame for fixing to Chassis Cab structure. For
connection between sub-frame Chassis Cab
body structure please refer to Figure E74696.
For Chassis Cab with under-slung tail lift load
capacity is up to 1000kg at 1000mm from rear
end of chassis frame to center of load if mounted
and functioning on centre line of vehicle. If
mounted and functioning off center line or at the
side of the vehicle load capacity is reduced to
500kg at 1000mm from side/rear end to center
of load.
Greater off-sets and/or loads require additional
stabilizing equipment such as outriggers or
ground jacks. It is recommended not to increase
vehicle body stress over limit as given by load
factors above. If uncertain please consult your
local national sales representative or the Vehicle
Converter Advisory Service [email protected].
It is the Vehicle converters responsibility to fit a
decal to the converted vehicle stating that the
equipment must not be used without
outriggers/ground jacks in operating position. It
is also the vehicle converters responsibility to
guarantee safe functioning of the equipment.
For hydraulic tail lifts as used for general loading
or more specialized for wheel-chair lifts please
refer to Figure E75874.
5.1.7 Partitions (Bulkhead) - Driver
and Front Passenger(s)
Protection on Van, Bus and Kombi
The following two figures show the standard
bulkhead fixing locations on B-pillar. These are
hexagonal holes for M6 thin sheet rivet type nuts.
The standard range of Ford Regular Production
Option bulkheads can be retro-fitted at these
points.
Conversely a Ford Regular Production Option
bulkheads can also be removed.
Ford Regular Production Option bulkheads do
have a clearance between bulkhead and body
structure to allow natural body flexing and an air
circulation from the cab to the rear load space
for ventilation control.
Air circulation and body flexing must be also given
consideration when engineering an alternative
bulkhead. It is not recommended to restrict
driver’s or passengers’s seat adjustment travel.
It is the vehicle converter’s responsibility to ensure
local current legislation, governing bulkheads and
protective window grilles, is met. It is also the
converter’s responsibility to ensure legal load
constraint requirements if using a non Ford
Regular Production Option bulkhead.
