1 General Information 1.5.1 Suggested Antenna Locations
The antenna can be mounted on the roof of the
vehicle, with the exception of cellular phone car
kit antennas which transmit power below 2W.
Such low powered systems should have their
antenna located at the bottom of the A-pillar
behind the trim or on the front windscreen.
NOTE: After the installation of RF transmitters,
check for disturbances from and to all electrical
equipment in the vehicle, both in the standby and
transmit modes.
Check all electrical equipment:
• With ignition ON
• With the engine running
• During a road test at various speeds
Check that electromagnetic fields generated inside
the vehicle cabin by the transmitter installed do
not exceed human exposure limits specified in ECE
Regulation 10.

1.6 Vehicle Duty Cycle Guidelines
It is necessary to take into account the customer
usage profile and the anticipated vehicle duty
cycles of the modified vehicle in order to choose
the appropriate specification of the base vehicle.
It is necessary to select the appropriate drive,
engine, gear ratio, gross vehicle mass, gross
combination mass, axle ratings and payloads of
the base vehicle to match the customer
requirements.
Where possible make sure that the base vehicle
is ordered with any necessary plant fit options.
NOTE: For further information please contact
1.6.1 Conversion Affect on Fuel

Economy and Performance
Any conversion may effect the fuel consumption
and performance depending on the aerodynamics
and the weight added by the conversion. The
published information for fuel consumption and
performance of the base vehicle therefore may
not be valid. It is advisable to control the weight,
but without deteriorating other vehicle attributes
and functions (especially those related to safety
and durability).
1.6.2 Vehicle Ride and Handling

Attributes
CAUTION: Do not exceed the axle rating,
gross vehicle mass, trailer rating and
gross trailer mass limits.
Due to the displacement of the center of gravity
occurred by the conversion the ride and handling
attributes may be different to the base vehicle.
NOTE: This vehicle should be evaluated for safe
operation prior to sale.

WARNING: Make sure that the modified
vehicle complies with all relevant legal
requirements.
Changes to the powertrain, engine, transmission,
exhaust, air intake system or tires may influence
the exterior noise emissions. Therefore the exterior
noise level of the converted vehicle has to be
verified.
The interior noise levels should not be deteriorated
by the conversion. Reinforce panels and structures
as appropriate to avoid vibrations. Consider the
usage of sound deadening material on panels.

2 Chassis 2.1 Suspension System
WARNINGS:
Do not modify, drill, cut or weld any
suspension components, specifically the
steering gear system, subframe or
anti-roll bars, springs or shock absorbers
including mounting brackets.
The rear leaf springs are pre-stressed in
manufacture and should not be altered
for rate or height in any way during vehicle
conversion. Adding or removing leaves
may result in failure or reduced function
of the spring as well as other vehicle
related issues for which Ford Motor
Company can not be held responsible.
CAUTIONS:
Modifications to the suspension system
can cause a deterioration of the vehicle
handling characteristics and durability.

1. Remove the combination CHMSL / Cargo Lamp
following the workshop manual instructions.
NOTE: When cutting off the stop lamp circuit wires
from the 3-pin CHMSL connector, stagger the cuts
to allow for cleaner and less bulky splice joins.
2. Locate the 3-pin CHMSL / Cargo Lamp
Connector. Cut off the stop lamp circuits (pin 1
yellow-grey, pin 2 black-violet) leaving the
violet wire (pin 3) connected to the 3-pin
CHMSL connector.
3. Tape back the 3-pin connector with the violet
coloured wire.
4. Splice the replacement 2-pin connector and
patch harness to the cut wires:
1. Yellow + Grey wire to Yellow + Grey wire.
2. Black + Violet wire to black + Violet wire.
5. Insulate the spliced joins with heat shrink.
6. Route the canopy CHMSL wiring through a
suitable grommet into the passenger
compartment, route it behind the trim panels

WARNING: Follow removal and
installation procedures for the seatbelt
system to ensure correct function of the
restraints system.
The removal and reinstallation of the seatbelt,
restrainer or any component of the seatbelt
system should be avoided. However if removal
and re-installation of the system is required during
the conversion, follow the removal and installation
guidelines of the seatbelt system as described in
the workshop manual. Please consult your local
National Sales Company representative for further
information.
When removing the seatbelt system, a seatbelt
webbing forked retainer should be applied to the
webbing 200mm below the webbing button stop.
This prevents a situation where all the webbing
runs back into the retractor and the retractor
becomes locked.
When reinstalling, fit the retractor to the body first
and gently pull the webbing out of the retractor to
allow fitment of the D loop. Then remove the
forked retainer. If the retractor is locked, allow a
small amount of webbing to reel back into the
retractor to allow the webbing lock to release. Do
not attempt to release the retractor by pulling on
the webbing with significant force or by manually
interfering with the locking mechanism.

5.4 Corrosion Prevention
5.4.1 General
Avoid drilling into closed frame body members to
avoid the risk of corrosion from swarf.
If drilling is required, however:
• Re-paint metal edges and protect against
corrosion after cutting or drilling operations.
• Endeavor to remove all swarf from inside the
side member and treat to prevent corrosion.
• Apply corrosion protection inside and outside
of the chassis frame.
5.4.2 Repairing Damaged Paint

After cutting or reworking any sheet metal on the
vehicle the damaged paint must be repaired.
Ensure all materials are compatible with the
relevant Ford specifications and maintain the
original performance where possible.
5.4.3 Under Body Protection and

Material
WARNING: Do not over-coat or
contaminate surfaces of components
such as brakes or catalytic converters.
Ensure all materials are compatible with the
relevant Ford specifications and maintain the
original performance where possible.
Some proprietary products affect the original
coatings. For specifications of corrosion protection
materials, please consult your local National Sales
Company representative.
5.4.4 Painting Road Wheels

WARNING: Do not paint wheel clamp
surfaces in contact with other wheels,
brake drum or disc, hub and holes or
surface under wheel nuts. Any further
treatment in these areas may affect the
wheel clamp performance and the vehicle
safety. Mask the wheel when changing
the color or repairing paint.
5.4.5 Contact Corrosion

When using different materials with a different
electrochemical potential, ensure that materials
are isolated from each other to prevent contact
corrosion caused by a potential difference.
Use appropriate isolation materials.
Where possible, choose materials with low level
of electrochemical potential difference.
