loads evenly distributed over the center half of each step tread without permanent deformation<br />

and with elastic deflection of no more than 0.0625 inches. Each step tread shall support a load of 500<br />

pounds evenly distributed over the center half of the tread without permanent deformation. A minimum<br />

1" (25.4 mm) thick Tuf-Coat self-adhesive insulation shall be provided behind the stepwell area for<br />

added control of interior temperature variances and to minimize road noise.<br />

2.8.9 WHEEL HOUSING<br />

2.8.9.1 CONSTRUCTION<br />

Wheel housings shall be constructed of stainless steel. Wheel housing, as installed and trimmed, shall<br />

withstand impacts of a 2-inch steel ball with at least 200 foot-pounds of energy without penetration.<br />

2.8.9.2 CLEARANCE<br />

Sufficient clearance and air circulation shall be provided around the tires, wheels, and brakes to<br />

preclude overheating. Tire chain clearance shall be provided on all outer wheels in accordance with<br />

SAE Information Report J683. Interference between the tires and any portion of the <strong>coach</strong> shall not be<br />

possible in maneuvers up to the limit of tire adhesion with weights from wet to GVWR.<br />

2.8.9.3 FENDER SKIRTS<br />

Front and rear wheelwells shall be fully skirted with rubber to minimize spray and splash. The fender<br />

reinforced rubber, shall be installed behind each front wheel and the rearmost wheels and shall extend<br />

downward to within 4” above the road surface. Apron widths shall be no less than tire widths. Splash<br />

aprons shall be bolted to tapping plates which are welded to the <strong>coach</strong> understructure. The tapping<br />

plates shall support the splash apron across its entire width. Splash aprons and their <strong>attachment</strong>s shall<br />

be inherently weaker than the structure to which they are attached. Splash aprons and their <strong>attachment</strong>s<br />

shall not be included in the road clearance measurements. Other splash aprons shall be installed where<br />

necessary to protect <strong>coach</strong> equipment.<br />

2.8.13 PASSENGER DOORS<br />

The passenger door shall be an air power operated transit type two <strong>section</strong> BI-part door with a switch<br />

convenient to the left of the operator. Door projection shall not exceed 7" out from the side of the<br />
