The frame is available in two sizes: small chas-
sis and large chassis. The small chassis is used
for the N30ZDR2, N35-40ZRS2, N30ZDRS2, and
N35-40ZR2 unit and uses a smaller drive unit. The
small chassis frame is available with a 368.3 mm
(14.5 in.) or 419.1 mm (16.5 in.) battery com-
partment width. The large chassis is used for the
N35ZDR2 and N45ZR2 unit and uses a larger drive
unit. The large chassis frame is available with a
419.1 mm (16.5 in.), 469.9 mm (18.5 in.), or 546.1 mm
(21.5 in.) battery compartment width.
The frame has mounts for the following parts:
•Mast Assembly

The overhead guard fastens to the mast. A rear op-
erator guard leg provides protection for the operator
and unobstructed operation of the lift truck. The op-
erator guard leg fastens between the overhead guard
and the frame. Repair procedures for major compo-
nents that fasten to the frame are in separate sec-
tions. See each section for the system that has the
part to be repaired.
