TRUCK/BUS/SCHOOL BUS 1981 EDITION. VEHICLE INSPECTION HANDBOOK

This revision is an effort of the Vehicle Inspection Committee of the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association of the U.S., in cooperation with the Committee on Engineering and Vehicle Inspection of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. It continues to provide concise descriptions of inspection procedures and objective statements of the grounds for rejecting trucks, buses, and school buses. It is responsive to motor vehicle inspection requirements and to changes in vehicle design significant to motor vehicle inspection programs. This edition interprets the American National Standards Institute's "American National Standard Inspection Procedures for Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Semitrailers Operated on Public Highways" - ANSI Standard D7.1. Also reflected are the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's "Vehicle In Use Inspection Standards" (Title 49 CFR Part 570), and its amendments enacted, through those of Docket No. 73-9. This Handbook is not intended as a set of hard and fast rules, but as a guide for both the individual inspector and for the person responsible for planning and implementing a meaningful inspection program based on sound engineering principles. All or any part of the book may be used, or various parts may be absorbed into a program in stages.
