Fairing Bumper Wear Check

p3 mm 31.04

Vehicles equipped with chassis side fairings, and forward mounted battery boxes, have latched front panels. The bumpers on these fairings provide the tension for the latch mechanism. These bumpers will wear over time, and will not properly hold the fairings in place.

  1. Open the latched section of the fairing panel.
  2. Inspect the rubber bumpers for wear. See Fig. for the bumper wear area, and Fig. for the bumper location.
    If the bumper rubber is worn down even with the top of the metal cup, or if there are signs of the metal cup coming in contact with the surface of the brace that the bumper makes contact with, replace the bumper.
  3. Tighten the fastener 10 to 13 lbf·ft (14 to 18 N·m).
  4. Close and latch the fairing.
