with self-supporting base Assembly with self-supporting base Measure the length of the floor panel. This is needed to determine the length the alu - minium longitudinal members need to be cut to. The aluminium longitudinal members should be 25 mm shorter than the length of the floor panel. (Fig. 1) 25 Fig. 1 Align the subframe brackets on the chassis so that they are parallel and then bolt them to the chassis. Align the longitudinal members so they run parallel to the chassis and clamp them tight against the subframe brackets using C clamps. Now measure the resulting spacing between the longitudinal member flange surfaces (edge to edge). (Fig. 2) Spacing Fig. 2 Tf1673GB(0517)1 L Phone: +49 (0)5 41/58 22-0 Fax: +49 (0)5 41/58 22-9910 email: export@titgemeyer.com 5
with self-supporting base Place the floor panel underside up on e.g. supports. Mark the determined spacing between the longitudinal member flange surfaces (edge to edge) on the underside of the floor panel as well as on the areas where the crossmembers are located. (Fig. 3) Add another 10 mm to the outer edges of each mark. Now tap an M 10 mm thread at each of the determined points. Please note: Determining the position of the tapped holes: Width of floor panel - Spacing between longitudinal member flange surfaces (edge to edge) - 20 mm (2 x 10 mm spacing between right + left longitudinal members) : 2 = Distance from outer edge of floor panel to centre of drilled hole Fig. 3 10 Now drill 8.5 mm holes at the points marked on the cross-member and then tap an M 10 mm thread.

with self-supporting base Before laying the floor panel over the longitudinal members, roughen the area that will support the longitudinal members and floor panel using e.g. an abrasive pad and then clean the surface using Cleaner Körasolv WL. (Fig. 5) Apply adhesive to the glue ducts on the longitudinal member flange, by adding one adhesive bead per duct. (Fig. 5) The longitudinal members should already be resting on the chassis at this time. Fig. 5 Take the floor panel and position it on the longitudinal members so that the front is flush and then bolt together using the body mounting brackets supplied (torque: 40 Nm). (Fig. 6) Fig. 6 Slide the floor panel back about 1000 mm (required working space) and secure! Ensure that the floor panel is level. Using a marker pen, mark the centre of the floor panel on the front. (Fig. 7). Fig. 7 Tf1673GB(0517)1 L Phone: +49 (0)5 41/58 22-0 Fax: +49 (0)5 41/58 22-9910 email: export@titgemeyer.com 7

(Fig. 8) Fig. 8 Installing the bulkhead Drill 5.2 mm holes approx. every 300 mm into the upper fastener groove of the side rave profile. (Fig. 9) Please note: Only drill through the side rave profile! Using a marker pen, mark the centre of the bulkhead on the inside of the floor support. Clean the inside of the side rave using Cleaner Körasolv WL. Apply Körapur 140 adhesive to the inside of the side rave profile or alternatively to the front of the floor panel. Fig. 9 Place the bulkhead against the floor panel and centre (marking to marking). Then drill 3.2 mm holes through the holes on the side rave profile and into the floor panel. (Caution! Insert is 30 mm deep all the way round; must be drilled). Now bolt the side rave profile to the floor panel using the 4.8 x 50 mm self-tapping screws supplied.

with self-supporting base Attach the flashings around the bulkhead. (Fig. 11) Fig. 11 The assembly can now be brought into its final position on the driver's cab and aligned in keeping with the chassis manufacturer's assembly instructions. The longitudinal members and attached subframe brackets will need to be bolted to the chassis. (Fig. 12) Fig. 12 Installing the side wall Drill two holes each between the floor panel cross-members as shown in the illustration. The holes should be drilled into the upper fastener groove of the side rave profile that is attached to the side wall. Please note: Only drill through the side rave profile!

with self-supporting base Roof Check that the sealing strip in the roof profile is undamaged and correctly fitted. (Fig. 23) Fig. 23 Using Cleaner Körasolv WL, clean the inside of all four roof corner caps as well as the top of the rear frame and the top corners of the bulkhead and side walls. Apply Körapur 125 sealant to the top of the rear frame and to the front and back of the corners of the body as well as the roof corner caps. (Figs. 24 + 25) Fig. 24 Fig. 25 Place the roof on the assembly. Make sure that the roof is properly positioned and secure it using C clamps. To ensure that the roof slots snugly onto the rear frame, place e.g. a piece of timber at the back and across the roof connection profile and clamp in place using C clamps.

Without a base Place the roof on the assembly. Make sure that the roof is properly positioned. Bolt the roof to the bulkhead starting at the top and working across. Use vice-grip wrenches to pull the cantrail profile onto the side wall profile and then bolt the side walls to the roof going from front to back. Attention: Do not screw the screws! Tightening torque 4 Nm. (Fig. 43+44) If installing a sandwich roof, no vice-grip wrenches can be attached from the inside. Before affixing the screws from the inside, check that the roof fits flush on the out - side. To ensure that the roof connection profile slots snugly onto the rear frame, place e.g. a piece of timber at the back and across and clamp in place using C clamps. On the rear frame version with upper tail-lift flap, close the tail lift and attach e.g. long C clamps across the closed flap. Finally, rivet the back of the rear frame to the rear of the roof using the supplied TIBULB rivets and moving from one side to the other. On the sandwich roof version, install using the Spax screws supplied. (Fig. 43 + 44) Fig. 43 Fig. 44 Seal the front and/or rear corner caps.

Without a base Seal the rear end plate on the rear frame from the outside. (Fig. 47) Fig. 47 The kit can be fitted directly to e.g. a GETO Van Frame base assembly. Once the body has been affixed to the base assembly and then been painted, the outer flashing will need to be fitted to the side rave. Lay the flashing on the bottom edge of the side rave and press down from above until it slots into the side rave profile.

Important Information Paintwork There are no downtimes or curing periods with this kit. Please note: If the kit is to be painted, the roof must be painted in a light colour. (Fig. 49) Bild 49 Storage / Installation Do not allow bare cut edges to come into contact with water. Cleaning GRP body end users (fleet operators) must be informed that special protective measures apply when cleaning sheeting. The use of a cleaner or detergent with an unsuitable ph value may result in the surface being damaged or even destroyed. Pressure cleaners with too much pressure or not held far enough away from the surface can also lead to the sheeting surface being destroyed. The following basic rules apply: Temperature: 70 C max Pressure: 80 atü max Minimum distance between sheeting and nozzle: 30 cm ph value: between 2 and 10.
