Safety Considerations
As you read through the procedures, you will come across NOTES, CAUTIONS, and
WARNINGS. Each one is there for a specific purpose. NOTES give you added
information that will help you to complete a particular procedure. CAUTIONS are
given to prevent you from making an error that could damage the vehicle. WARNINGS
remind you to be especially careful in those areas where carelessness can cause personal
injury.
The following list contains some general WARNINGS that you should follow when you work on a vehicle.
· Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
· Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle.
· Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by the proce-
dure.
· Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle and if the vehicle has an automatic transmission, put
the transmission in PARK .
· Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide.
· Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts when the engine is running, especially the fan
and belts.
· To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail
pipe, catalytic converter, and muffler.
· Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

q Check for damaged or bent components.
1.2.6 Other Body Parts
q Check for loose or missing fasteners underneath
the chassis, particularly the body mounting bolts
on the outside of the riser on either side of the
chassis rails, the bolts on the crossmember plate Look for loose or missing
and the Huck rivets on the drop floor bracket. Huck rivets on the drop floor bracket.
Front
Since used locknuts distort the threads, they should be discarded and
replaced with new locknuts. The bolt should be discarded as well.
2.2.6 Nutsert
Using a nutsert insert tool, replace the nutsert with one meeting
original specifications. Do not use Loc-Tite on the threads of a Illustration 28 Nutsert
nutsert.
If a nutsert of original specifications or the tool to install nutserts is not
available, the nutsert may be replaced with another form of threaded
insert or a nut and bolt. This depends upon application and should be
approved by Utilimaster Customer Service. If it is to be replaced
with a nut and bolt, it is important to use flat washers on both sides of
the material.
This white vinyl tape is used wherever steel and aluminum surfaces mate in order to prevent corrosion of the
surfaces.
Removal
With a razor knife, cut along the length of the tape while pulling apart the joined flat surfaces. Scrape off rem-
nants as much as possible. Clean with a solvent.
Replacement
Apply to one surface from a fresh roll. Do not remove the tape paper until the other surface is in the proper
position. Once the tape sticks to a surface, you will not be able to reposition it without starting over.
Bolts with thread adhesive cannot be reused. After the bolt is removed with the appropriate wrench, scrape off
any adhesive residue from the seal if present on a reusable surface.
Replacement
1. Slowly torque the new bolt to the appropriate value. (Using a power tool to spin the fastener quickly
may lower the effectiveness of the seal.)
2. Apply torque seal to the bolt. (See Section 2.2.11.)
2.2.11 Torque Seal
Torque seal appears as a small painted line across a bolt thread and nut or across a bolt and washer seam. If
the seal line is broken (out of alignment), the fastener has loosened.
Removal
After the bolt is removed, if any residue from the seal is present on a reusable surface, scrape off the residue.
Apply a small bead of torque seal or paint stick across the new bolt threads, nut, head, and/or washer.
NOTE: Torque seal or paint stick may be used in the following locations:

NOTE: Glass adhesives and sealants have a short shelf life. Close attention must be paid to
cleaning surfaces and to timing during installation. The following information can be
shared with auto glass shops.
NOTE: Please read entire procedure before working on the vehicle.
NOTE: If you do the job yourself, you will need:
Replacement glass
Rubber trim molding
Glass replacement tools
Glass cleaner, primer, adhesive materials
The items listed in Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2
Besides tools, adhesives, and sealants, you will need to order replacement glass and perimeter trim molding
from Utilimaster. (See also the FedEx Ground Body Parts Manual for replacement parts.)
The windshield glass is 1/4-thick laminated safety glass. The quarter glass and the glass in sliding doors are
tempered safety glass which cannot be cut after tempering.
For replacing the entire windshield, about 21 feet of perimeter trim molding and 3 feet of flat center trim are required.
If care is taken in removing the glass, only the replaced half of the windshield needs to have new molding applied.
Each quarter window glass replacement requires about 9 feet of perimeter trim molding.

NOTE: Windshield installations must have a full bead of adhesive in the center section be-
tween the two glass panels. (See Illustration 312.)
Cut away from yourself and toward the corner or lip of the trim when cutting the trim.
Be sure not to nick or cut the glass when installing the trim. This can lead to cracks
developing over time.
1. After adhesive has dried, scrape any excess adhesive from glass
edges and surface with a utility knife and clean with isopropyl
alcohol. (Spray 70%-90% isopropyl alcohol around perimeter
of glass and wipe dry with a lint free paper towel.)
2. With a paper towel, apply Sika® Cleaner 226 onto glass around
the trim molding bonding surface and let dry for five minutes.
NOTE: The center of the windshield has a wide flat trim.
If you are replacing the windshield, you will need to
replace this as well.
3. Being careful not to touch adhesive, remove the adhesive backing
strip, and apply self-adhesive trim as shown in Illustrations 313
through 316. Avoid stretching the trim.
4. Miter-cut corners and overlap with the knife pointing away from
you as shown in Illustration 315. Do not cut through the lip of
the trimallow it to wrap around the edge of glass.
5. On the quarter window seam, miter-cut the start/finish corners and
angles as shown in Illustration 316. Illustration 313 Applying Trim
6. The wide flat trim for the center of the windshield should butt

4 - PEDESTAL, TILT
Your occupant restraint system has been developed and tested specifically for delivery vehicles. The high usage
associated with delivery vehicle application and exposure of this seat belt to severe environmental conditions
make it crucial to inspect the three-point seat belt system regularly. The seat belt system must be inspected
during every routine maintenance.
A seat belt system should be replaced immediately if it shows any problem such as cuts, fraying, extreme or
unusual wear, significant discolorations due to ultraviolet exposure, significant dirt, abrasion to the seat belt
webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch plate, retractor, or hardware.
Replace the seat belt only with a belt recommended by Utilimaster. If any part of the seat belt requires replace-
ment, the entire belt must be replaced.
An installation guide is attached to every replacement belt. If the seat belt is replaced, all components must be
mounted back in the same position as the original components. This will maintain the design integrity of the
mounting points for the seat belt assembly.
Belts must be inspected during every routine maintenance. Failure to properly inspect and
maintain the seat belts can cause serious injury or loss of life. The seat belt in a delivery
vehicle application has a finite life and must be replaced as needed throughout the life of
the vehicle.
Whenever a vehicle is involved in an accident, the entire seat belt system must be evalu-
ated for possible replacement, even if there is no visible wear or damage to the seat belt
system.
Buckle cracked Check the buckle for proper operation by inserting the
or broken latch and listening for an audible click. Verify that the
buckle is not damaged and that the plastic casing is not
broken or cracked. Examine the seat belt buckle
cable strap to determine if there is unusual wear, the
cable is damaged, or if the cable is cut or frayed. (See
Illustration 77.)
