Pic. 1. Location of the nameplate with vehicle model designations
You already know the location of the nameplate with the designation of the vehicle model, data on the permissible standard gross weight, permissible loads on the front and rear axles. Depending on the design of the vehicle, this data plate may be located either in the engine compartment or at the bottom of the driver's seat. On fig. 1 (up) shows the location of the decal in the engine compartment. The engine number is stamped on the cylinder block on the left side of the high pressure fuel lines, at the location indicated on the bottom of fig. 1.
When placing an order for spare parts, the complete VIN code and engine number must be indicated. The gearbox, rear axle, steering have their own serial numbers, which are stamped on their bodies.
Attention! Be careful after opening the engine hood as some parts in the engine compartment may be hot. If the engine is running or the ignition key is in the «2», you should also beware of rotating parts of the motor.
