The chassis-cab manufactured by Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd. is designed to comply with applicable Federal Emission Control Regula-tions, Federal Noise Emission Control Regulations, and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards applicable atthe time of manufacture.  State-ments relating to the compliance ofthe chassis-cab manufactured by Nis-san Diesel Motor Co., Ltd. in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are set forth solely in the Document for Incomplete Vehicle accompanying each chassis-cab and nothing contained herein is to be regarded as astatement relating to compliance withthe FMVSS.

Various regulations relating to vehicle performance, equipment, and safety have been issued by the Department of Transportation. These reg-ulations include, but are not limitedto the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Other fed-eral, state and local regulations may also apply. Final stage manufactur-ers and motor carriers are responsible for knowing and complying with all regulations that may apply to the vehicle. A finished vehicle may also require devices that arenot specified in the regulations. Body builders,subsequent stage manufacturers and carriers must determine what safety devices are necessary for the safe operation of the vehicle. Nothing inthis book should be taken as a representation that all equipment neces-sary for the safe operation of thevehicle in its intended use has been installed on the incomplete chassis-cab.

All illustrations and specifications in this BodyBuilder’s Book are based on the latest information and believed to be correct.  The numerical val-ues used herein are for standard dimensions and masses.  Occasionally,vehicle assembly tolerances may produce some variance in the actual vehicle.

Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd. and Nissan Diesel America, Inc. reserve the right to make changes in materials, equipment, information, specifica-tions and models and to discontinuemodels or equipment at any time without notice and without incurring obligation.

Be sure any modification, alteration, or completion of this chassis-cab includes required safety measures. This incomplete vehicle may be built to many uses,and Nissan Diesel MotorCo., Ltd. cannot antici-pate all of them. Always consult safety regulations applying to the com-plete vehicle, and conform exactly.Below are two types of safety adaptations required under certain circumstances. Other measures may be required depending on the type of body built on the chassis and the uses expected for the final vehicle. Neglecting good safety measures could causea serious accident.

REAR IMPACT PROTECTION
Section 393.86 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations requires certain vehicles to be equipped with rear impact protection guards. Such guards must be installed in accordance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.Make sure you know whether the vehicle requires a rear impact protection guard. If a guard is required,make sure it meets or exceeds all applicable regulations and that it is installed correctly. If the vehicle isto be operated outside the United States, consult the regulations andstandards applicable in the coun-tries where the vehicle will be operated.

VISIBILITY DEVICES
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require certain vehicles to be equipped with retrore-flective sheeting or other devices toinsure the vehicle is clearly visible.Make sure that you apply visibilitydevices complying with the regula-tions and take any other steps necessary to ensure that the vehicle is sufficiently conspicuous at nightor in low lighting conditions.

INCOMPLETE VEHICLES-SUBSEQUENT MANU-FACTURERS AND CERTIFICATION
Federal law, 49 CFR Part 567 and568 provides requirements concern-ing certification of compliance to FMVSS of vehicles manufactured in two or more stages. These regulations require among other things that a label certifying that each completed vehicle conforms with all applicable FMVSS on the stated date of manufacture be permanently affixed to such vehicle.  Consult your legal counsel for advice concerning compliance with the regulations and certification.

Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd. furnishes a Document for Incomplete Vehicle with all incomplete vehicles containing information required to be furnished to subsequent stage manufacturers by federal regulation.  The Document for Incomplete Vehicle includes the identification of the particu-lar vehicle to which the manual applies,the designation by Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd. of the vehicle type into which the incomplete vehicle may be manufactured, a listing of the applicable FMVSS and statements regarding compliance of the vehiclewith each standard at the time of manufacture.  In some cases, statements include conditions under which the vehicle may be manufactured so asto conform when completed.  A subsequent stage manufacturer who deviates from these conditions must independently provide the basis for certification to the particular standard.

The Document for Incomplete Vehicle must remain with the vehicle until a label certifying compliance with FMVSS has been permanently affixed to the completed vehicleby the final stage manufacturer.

TERMS
(AS DEFINED BY THE U.S.NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT AND REGULATIONS)
“Chassis-cab” means an incompletevehicle, with a completed occu-pant compartment, that requires only the addition of cargo-carrying, work-performing, or load-bearing components to perform its intended functions.

“Completed vehicle” means a vehicle that requires no further manufac-turing operations to perform its intended function, other than the addition of readily attachable components, such as mirrors or tire and rim assem-blies, or minor finishing operations such as painting.

“Curb mass” means the mass of amotor vehicle with standard equip-ment; maximum capacity of engine fuel, oil and coolant; and, if so equipped, air conditioning andadditional mass optional engine.

“Final-stage manufacturer” meansa person who performs such manu-facturing operations on an incomplete vehicle thatit becomes a com-pleted vehicle. “Gross axle mass rating” or “GAMR”means the value specified by the vehicle manufacturer as the load-carrying capacity of a single axle sys-tem, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.

“Gross vehicle mass rating” or “GVMR” means the value specified by the manufacturer as the loaded mass of a single vehicle. “Incomplete vehicle” means an assemblage consisting, as a minimum,of frame and chassis structure, power train, steering system, suspension system, and braking system, to the extent that those systems are to be part of the completed vehicle, that requires further manufacturing opera-tions, other than the addition of readily attachable components, such as mirrors or tire and rim assemblies, or minor finishing operations such as painting, to become a completed vehicle.

“Incomplete vehicle manufacturer”means a person who manufacturers an incomplete vehicle by assembling components none of which, taken separately, constitutean incomplete vehicle.

“Intermediate manufacturer” meansa person, other than the incom-plete vehicle manufacturer or the final-stage manufacturer, who performs manufacturing operations on an incomplete vehicle.
