*First choice - Gas Metal Arc Welding Process:Butt joints - apply two layers (passes) of weld metal. First pass
should only fill approximately1⁄2the thickness. Vertical position welds - maintain electrode wire at leading edge of
weld puddle while traveling down hill to produce maximum penetration intothe sleeve. These techniques work for
FCAW as well.
**E7018new electrodes may be exposed to the atmosphere for up to ten hours with no harmful effect.
Reconditioning schedules should come from the manufacturer.
FRAME DIMENSIONS
NOTE: Frame dimensions are listed in metric scale. All dimensions are fromcenter to center of Principal
Locating Point (PLP), or from center to center of PLP and fastener location.
VEHICLE PREPARATION
Position the vehicle on a level work surface. Using screw or bottle jacks, adjust the vehicle PLP heights to the
specified dimension above a level work surface. Vertical dimensions can be taken from the work surface to the
locations indicated were applicable.
