3 Dimensions and ratings
The external dimensions, tolerances and rating (I?) of the swap bodies covered by this European Standard are specified in Figure 1 and Table 1. No part of the swap body shall project beyond the boundaries defined by the external dimensions.
B.1 General
Supporting legs are used to support the swap body when removed from the camer vehicle, and to replace it on the vehicle, using on-board means This annex specifies type A2 of supporting legs type A2. for swap bodies of classes C 745 and C 782.
NOTE Supporting legs of Type Al for swap bodies dase C 715 are not specified in the standard. aince this class of swap bodies are net requested anymore from the martet
B.2 Safety devices
B.2.1 Requirements
B.21.1 A safety bolt shall be provided on the side of the support bearing for the retracted or extended supporting leg.
B.2.t2 In the retracted position (transport position) the supporting leg shall be provided with a supporting device and secured by a further safety device. The latter device shall be readity visible from the outside, and a visual check of Its effectiveness shall be possible. False operation shall be precluded.
B.2.1.3 When in transport position, the bacwlg strut shall be secured against inadvertent loosening.
B.2.1.4 When the supporting leg Is operated, the bracing strut shall remain secured to prevent handling injuries.
B.2.1.5 A safety stop shall prevent the complete removal of the supporting leg. This axial safety stop shaM be adjustable and able to withstand an axiaKy applied force up to 4 000 N without permanent deformation. The safety stop shall be deniountable by means of simple tools
B.2.2 Interchange ability
B.2.2.1 Supporting legs shall b designed so that they cen be fitted on either side of the swap body.
B.2.2.2 Replacement of a supporting leg shall be possible after release of the safety stop.
B.2.3 Mechanical strength
Altar being tested as specified WI EN 283.1991, 5.11. supporting legs shall not show any permanent deformation nor changes wtiich may render them unsuitable for use.
B.3 Dimensions
This annex contains dimensions essential to the interchangeability of supporting legs. The dimensions are specified ii Figures B.1 to B.8. Details which are not indicated shall be selected as appropriate.
