Body and Implement Mounting Guidelines U500 North America

4.14.3 Bodies/implements on the ball points

Ballpoints and ball half shells (for positions and size see Figure
4.59, Figure 4.61 and Figure 4.62 or vehicle drawings on the Uni-
mog Resource CD) are provided to mount the platform on the
chassis. If an implement is mounted on the chassis in the same
manner (ball points on the platform subframe and ball half shells
on the implement) it must be ensured that there is sufficient clear-
ance between the ball half shell and the ball yoke; see also Figure
4.59.
The load on the ballpoints must not exceed the load, which results
from a platform, which is loaded to its maximum permissible value
of 15,400 lbs / 7,000 kg (depends on the maximum permissible
axle loads and the GVW). When tipping, each ballpoint must only
be loaded vertically with maximum 5,070 lbs / 2,300 kg.
For implement mounting on the platform ballpoints the original ball
mounting parts must be used. The necessary mounting parts are
listed in Table 4.13 and can be ordered by any authorized Freight-
liner Unimog dealer.

Note: A unilateral load on the subframe must be avoided.
The permissible axle loads are to adhere to.
Caution: Risk of damage to the platform subframe. The tip-
ping shell must not lay on the ball yoke (see
Figure 4.59)!
