STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY
103 The statement below is applicable to all incomplete
vehicle types except the Basic (Stripped) Chassis:
This vehicle, when completed, will conform to Standard
103, Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems, if
no alterations or adjustments are made to heater and
blower assemblies, ducting, operating controls, electrical
circuit from the blower assembly to the power source,
windshield, coolant hoses from the radiator or engine to
the heater, and if no obstructions are added that restrict
or otherwise redirect the air flow from the defroster
outlets to the windshield.
103 The statement below is applicable to the following
incomplete vehicle type:
• E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis
Conformity with Standard 103, Windshield Defrosting
and Defogging Systems, is not substantially affected
by the design of this incomplete vehicle; accordingly,
Ford Motor Company makes no representation as to
conformity with this Standard.
104 The statement below is applicable to all incomplete
vehicle types except the Basic (Stripped) Chassis:

104, Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems, if no
alterations are made to the windshield, the windshield
wiping and washing system, including the electrical
circuit from the windshield wiping and washing motors
to the power source, and if no obstructions are added
that restrict or otherwise redirect uid ow from the
washer nozzles to the windshield.
104 The statement below is applicable to the following
incomplete vehicle type:
• E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis
Conformity with Standard 104. Windshield Wiping
and Washing Systems, is not substantially affected
by the design of this incomplete vehicle; accordingly,
Ford Motor Company makes no representation as to
conformity with this Standard.
105 INFORMATION
Incomplete vehicle weight and dimensional information
required for center of gravity calculations are available
in the Ford Source Book. See your local Ford Dealer
and refer to appropriate model year and specic vehicle
for required information.
Abbreviation denitions and a vehicle diagram to assist
with the equations for the Standard 105 segment are
shown on page 14.
NOTE: 105 is an example of a standard with conformity
statements that contain minimum requirements for
completed vehicle Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW, see
definition on page 5). Maximum UVW requirements
are also found in various sections of this manual (see
especially Standards 212/219 and 301 and related table,
Table A). Completed vehicles must meet UVW limits
imposed by all applicable requirements.
105 The statements below are applicable to the E-Series
cutaway when equipped with the School Bus Prep
package and completed as a school bus:
This vehicle when completed, will conform to Standard
105, Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems, if:
• No alterations, modications, or replacements are
made to the following:
– Service or parking brake system
– Antilock brake system
– Vacuum system
– Wheels and tires
– Brake system indicator lamp and wiring
– Brake system reservoir labeling
– Suspension ride height or spring rate
– Hydro-Boost system
– Power Steering pump and lines if used with
Hydro-boost
– Engine belt drive system
– Wheelbase
• The E-350 SRW Unloaded Vehicle Weight (see
denition on page 5) is not less than the minimum
value of 2540 kg [5600 lb].
• The E-350/450 DRW minimum UVW must be at least
the weights shown on the following table:
