Chapter 4 TRUCK BODY AND SPECIAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The following installation procedures and specific precautionary instructions are recommended
for the proper installation of special bodies and/or equipment on Hino truck chassis.
Failure to follow these recommendations could result in serious damage to the Hino truck
chassis.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Any deviation from the original Hino truck chassis specification will become the responsibility
of the subsequent stage manufacturer or installer.
The final stage manufacturer has responsibility to certify that the completed vehicle conforms
to all applicable Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
The rear body installed on chassis must have adequate strength. In order to prevent insuffi-
cient efficiency of brake or abnormal wear of tires, enough care is necessary to the weight
distribution to be loaded as evenly as possible onto right and left wheels.
When installing the rear body, be sure that all the wheels are on the same horizontal plane so
that the chassis is not inclined. (No difference in height from the ground on right and left
sides.)
When rear body or additional components are mounted on the front or rear overhang, it is
desirable that mounted position is not inside the approach and departure angle.
When installing a body or equipment parts near the engine, clutch and transmission, ensure at
least 50 mm (2.0 in.) clearance.
KK-US005C 1
When removing the transmission assembly from the engine, it is necessary to move the trans-
mission assembly rearward about 150 mm (6.0 in.) in order to pull out the clutch spline.
Therefore proper consideration should be given to the arrangement of the fittings of body or
equipment.
No fitting should be installed to ensure a space

of 150 mm (6.0 in.) long for the clutch and
transmission assembly to be withdrawn for
removal as illustrated below.
The fuel tank, battery and air tank supports should not be fitted with the side guard and any-
thing like that which may give shock and external force to them.
When mounting the superstructure, sufficient considerations are needed so that there will no
trouble in carrying out daily inspection and maintenance servicing.
• Engine oil inspection, oil supply and discharge
• Cooling water inspection, water supply and discharge
• Air cleaner inspection
• Transmission oil inspection, oil supply and discharge (Special care is needed when installing
P.T.O.)
• Differential oil inspection, oil supply and discharge (Care is needed when spare tire is mounted
on the rear overhang.)
• Grease up (Special care is needed when shifting the fuel tank on vehicles.)
• Battery liquid inspection, water supply and discharge.
• Supply of fuel
• Air tank drain
• Attaching and detaching the spare tire
• Check valve and other valves relating to brake
When changing springs or installing additional spring leaves, check the wheelbase and the
front wheel alignment and make adjustments if needed. (Tighten spring U-bolts and center
bolts with the specified torques.)
After a vehicle has been properly fitted out, make sure that it is free from any defects such as
the vibration of the cab and noise before delivering it.
When mounting all the required component parts on a vehicle, be careful not to damage to the
sides of chassis or impair its proper functioning.
Strictly avoid making any alterations to the component parts of the front axle and steering.
KK-US005C 2
When using additional spring leaves, do not use more than we have provided for option for the
excessively increased front spring leaves will cause interference with the locus of the steering
link and the excessively increased rear spring leaves will may cause the propeller shaft to be
damaged by seizure or noises.
When mounting the superstructure, be careful not to damage the chassis side or impair its
functioning. (For instance do not step on piping and wiring and also air tank, fuel tank, air drier,
other chassis component.)
Be careful that the mounted superstructure may not interfere with the front and rear field of
vision.
When a concentrated load is applied locally or the body is long, the amount of deflection may
pose problems in some cases. So, it is advisable to use or or shaped steel
beams as the main sill, and joint them securely to the side members in order to obtain sufficient
overall strength and rigidity.
When a body with a great rigidity is mounted as in the case of tank lorries and bulk cement
carriers, please make reference to the paragraph devoted to the main sill to prevent a weak
point appearing at the rear of the cab.
Cautions when mounting the superstructure near brake units and brake pipe lines
• The valves shall be made serviceable and detachable.
• When a corrosive property is loaded on the rear body, use appropriate protective means to
protect the pipe lines.
• Be careful to ensure sufficient clearance at least 30 mm (1.2 in.) between the brake pipe
lines and the parts for rear body.
• Make the inspection and working holes if the side beam is stiffened as a closed section.
Cautions needed when mounting the superstructure above exhaust pipe

• There must be the following clearances between exhaust pipe and others to be mounted on
the vehicle.
Over 100 mm (4.0 in.) from wood, rubber, cloth, resins and the like.
Over 200 mm (8.0 in.) from electric wire, brake hose or tube.
When it is impossible to provide the above clearances, use the heat insulating plate or the
like heat insulating means.
KK-US005C 3
Do not place flammable material near

the exhaust system.
• Care must be taken that there is no rope or sheet hanging close to the exhaust system. Do
not place the rope hook near the exhaust system.
To prevent an interference of propeller shafts with the body parts due to the movement of
propeller shafts, keep enough clearance at least 50 mm (2.0 in.) between propeller shaft (in-
cluding joints) and body parts. (dump pump, brackets, etc.)
KK-US005C 4
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND CENTER OF GRAVITY
Recommended Weight Distribution on Front Axle

To ensure satisfactory steerability of the vehicle under all conditions, proper weight distribution
on front axle must be considered at the planning of body mounting.
In the case of 2-axle vehicle, put more than 30% of the respective gross vehicle weight.
The permissible front axle load must not be exceeded.
Permissible Height of Center of Gravity of the Completed Vehicle with Payload

The height of center of gravity of the completed vehicle must be considered at the planning of
body mounting.
The height of center of gravity from the ground to the completed vehicle with payload should
not exceed the guidelines as shown in the table.
If the body is mounted in such a way that the height of center of gravity exceeds the guideline,
the directional stability at braking and roll stability at cornering or rolling will be adversely af-
fected.
Unit: mm (in.)

3). If the Caution Label becomes dirty or to be scratched, change the new one.
(Contact local HINO dealer to get the Caution Label.)
4). To prevent paint from adhering to the Caution Label, it should be thoroughly masked
when painting.
5). Do not use thinner or solvent containing thinner when wiping off paint should get onto
the Caution Plate, use gasoline to wipe it off, or change the new Caution Label.
INSTALLATION OF FENDER AND MUDGUARD
Referring to the drawing showing the deflections of the tires, determine the dimensions of the
fender and the underside of the floor so that the fender will not contact the tires.
The use of tire chains also should be taken into consideration.
The mudguards also should be installed by referring to the instructions for their installation.
Detail dimensions of installation of fended and mudguard, refer to Chapter 6 “Instructions for
Buidling Up of Rear Body”.
CAUTIONS ON WELDING
Disconnect the negative battery cable before using arc welding equipment. Electronic instru-
ment (e.g. ABS and Engine control computer) and other electrical parts always need electric
power are connected directly to the battery and the ground.
If the arc welding is performed in this condition, an electric current of arc welding may flow
reversely into the electrical parts from their ground circuit resulting in damage to the electrical
parts.
Since welded parts becomes extremely hot and sparks are present, dismount the fuel tank or
batteries when welding near those units. Make sure that there are no items present such as
harnesses, nylon tubes, pipes, resin clips for piping, suspension components (such as spring
brackets, spring leaves), etc., which may be damaged.
Do not arc strike on the frame flanges.
Do not weld any components such as engine, transmission, axle, spring, propeller shaft, steer-
ing, and also do not weld any body parts or mounting brackets on the chassis frame for mount-
ing the rear body.
Avoid welding additional parts onto the frame except for parts used for the purpose of rein-
forcement.
The ground of the arc welding machine must be connected to a low resistance part such as the
frame.
Never connect the ground to plated parts such as fuel pipes, brake pipes or exhaust pipe.
When ground to the frame, be sure to scrape off the paint and apply under coat paint after
work.
KK-US005C 8
Welding processings to avoid damaging of chassis electrical parts:

• Turn the starter switch to "LOCK" position.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
• Earth all welding equipment properly, near to the area to be welded.
• Put back battery negative ground as original condition.
• Finally check the functioning of all instruments.
In order to prevent ancillary equipped components from sparks during welding, take steps
such as putting fire-resistant covers over things like the engine, meters, steering wheel,hoses,
tires and springs (leaf spring or air bag) etc.

NOTES ON ADDITIONAL WIRING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Since the engines in HINO trucks are covered with sound arrest plates, thus the engine com-
partment tends to heat up.
Avoid wiring in the engine compartment in the food if possible.
Additional wiring harness or cable should be kept away from heated elements, and should be
wired along the original chassis harness.
CAUTION ON VEHICLE STORAGE
We deliver only the vehicles which have passed our delivery inspection. However, it frequently
happens that when the vehicles (chassis with cab) are kept in a storage of the dealers or rear
body manufacturers for long periods of time, the vehicles are placed on the irregular-surfaced
ground in the manner in which their frames are twisted. If the frame is kept in a twisted state for
a long time, it will be permanently deformed, thus becoming a cause of complaints to be lodged
later. So, you are requested to make sure that the surface of the ground on which the vehicles
are stored be levelled to prevent the twisting the frame.
RESETTING OF VEHICLE SPEED SENSORING PULSE CONVERTER
In addition to the engine control etc., Hino vehicle are equipped with such device as ABS that
are obligatorily required by the FMVSS.
Never attempt to apply such modification as would be altered the vehicle speed conditions, as
changing of rear axle ratios or tire sizes.
In the event that, you are obliged to apply those modification, please consult with HMS (USA)
or dealer the nearest to you for any appropriate advice and, at the same time, don’t forget to
reset the PULSE CONVERTER for vehicle speed sensorring.

The DPR filter collects particulate matter found in exhaust gas and automatically burns
them.
Be extra careful when refueling, refer to the “Fuel Caution Plate” attached on the
instrument panel in the cab and on the fuel tank.
(2) Working condition while running

The DPR automatically purifies particulate matter during normal operation.
This system does not negatively effect the vehicle operation.
(3) Working condition while under operation

Purification of particulate matter
: When the vehicle stops for a traffic signal, the DPR may enter filter mode.
At this time the engine idle speed may temporarily increase causing the exhaust
brake to actuate.
When idling long time
: To prevent emission of white smoke, when vehicle is left idling for certain
time (approx. 1 hour), idling speed will increase causing exhaust brake to work.
KK-US005C 27
(4) Precautions
1) An exhaust pressure outlet pipe and an exhaust temperature sensor are installed on
muffler and a harness is attached to the sensor. At the time of mounting the body, take
extra care with these system.
If these parts are damaged, purification of particulate matter may not be performed
sufficiently.
2) Muffler may be removed and remounted for maintenance.
Place the parts of the body so that it is easy to remove and mount the muffler.
3) Depending on how vehicle is operated, DPR indicator light may be flashing.
If the DPR indicator light is flashing, follow the instruction below within 150km.
To prevent fire, make sure there is no flammable matter near the exhaust pipe.
1. Park vehicle in safe place.
