1.9Prevention of accidents
The structures and devices fitted to the vehicles must comply with the current regulations concerning
the prevention of accidents and safety regulations in force in the countries where the vehicle is to be
used.
All the precautions dictated by technical awareness must be adopted to prevent malfunction and functional defects.
Compliance with th ese regulations will be the responsibility of the manufacturers of the structures and devices.
Components such as seats, coverings, linings, protective panels etc. may present a potential fire hazard
if they are exposed to an intense heat source.
!
They should be removed before working with welding equipment and flames.
1.10Choice of material to use: Ecology - Recycling
Increasingly greater at tention should be paid, at t he study and design stage, to th e choice of materials to be used.
This is especially the caseas regards the aspects connected withecology and recycling in the light ofdomestic and international
regulations that are constantly being developed in the sector.
In this connection:
-everyonemust be aware ofthe prohibitionson using harmful orpotentially hazardous materials,such as onescontaining asbestos,
lead, halogen additives, fluoroc a rbons, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chrome, etc.
-Use materials whose processing produces limited waste and that permit easy recycling after th eir first use.
-With composite synthetic materials, use components that are compatible with each other, envisaging also their possible utilization with t he addition of other salvaged components. Affix the markings required in compliance with the current regulations.
In order to comply with EC directive 2000/53 (ELVs), IVECO S.p.A. prohibits fitting parts containing
lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chrome to vehicles (except for the departures referred to in
Attachment II of the above directive).

1.13Dimensions and weights
1.13.1General Specifications
The dimensions and maximum permissible weight on the axles are indicated on drawings, on technical specifications and, in
greater details, on the official documentation issued by IVECO.
The kerb weights refer to vehicles with standard equipment. Special equipment may involve considerable modification to the weight
and its distribution on the axles.
Lights and rear-view mirrors positioning on our vehicles is designed for w idths of 2,550 mm. This dimension may also be applied
to special body versions with a width of 2,600 mm (e.g. refrigerator vans).
Weighing the Chassis
As a result of production factors there may be a variation in weight of approx. 5%.
It is, therefore, advisable to determine the weight of the vehicle with its c ab before fitting the body and equipment and establishing
their distribution o n th e axles.
1.13.2Determining the Centre of Gravity of the Body and Payload
Positioning on longitudinal plane
To establishthe location of the centreof gravity of the body and payloadthe following examples belowmay be used asguidelines.
The technical documentation specific to each model (chassis cabdrawing) give the positions permitted with thevehicle in itsstandard

In order to apportion the payload on the axles, it must be uniformly distributed except when the shape of the loading surface itself
entails a different distribution of the load.
As for equipment, the actual location of the centre of gravity is used.
When building bodies or containers, loading and unloading systems for the transported goods must be devised which preclude ex-
cessive variations in the distribution of the load and/or excessive loads on the axles, also giving the relevant instructions to t he users.
The bodybuilder willalso need to installsu itable payload securing systemson the body sothat transport can be madewith the utmost
safety.

Height of the Centre of Gravity
The height of the centre of gravity of the chassis cab is given in the technical documentation specific to each model (chassis
drawing).
For testing the vehicle complete with superstructure, the bodybuilder must check that the height of the centre of gravity of the
equipment including the payload, or of the entire vehicle when fully loaded, falls within the maximum permitted values.
These limits are defined in compliance with the national or international regulations (e.g. as amended by the current EC braking
Directive) or requested by the Manufacturer to ensure good handling of the vehicle (e.g. transverse stability of the moving vehicle).
In order toc omply with the current ECDirective, IVECO providesinformation forthe various models (wheelbaseand specific body)
on computer, regarding:
-height of centre of gravity of chassis cab (e.g. chassis cab diagram, braking data);
-maximum height of centre of gravity of complete vehicle at full load (e.g. national type-approval document);
-braking capacity of each single axle (e.g. braking data).

To check the vehicle with its body but no payload, use above formula but for Ws use only the body kerb weight (The position for
Hv will depend on the load and deflection of the suspension).
The height of the centre of gravity indicated in Tabella 2.6 represents values which are not to be exceeded for each given equipment
level. These values have been calculated only in terms of the transverse stability of the vehicle and are applicable to a mid wheelbase.
Any other possible restrictive specification, e.g. braking regulation , shou ld be taken into consideration.
The values given in Tabella 2.6 refer to the superstructure with fixed payload. In versions where the payload tends to move on side
(e.g. suspended loads, fluid loads etc.) especially when turning, higher dynamic stress is generated which makes the vehicle less stable.
This must be taken int o consideration when providing vehicle operating instructions or for possible reduction in the height of the
centre of gravity.

Using Stabiliser Bars
Supplementary stabilising or anti-roll bars, where available, spring reinforcements or the application of rubber components (in
compliance with point 2.7) may increase the height of the centre of gravity of the payload which must be defined as each occasion
arises. The modification must be carried out after careful consideration has been given to the specifications of the version, to the
wheelbase and to the distribution of the cross-stresses act in g on the suspension both at the front and at the rear of the vehicle.
It must be borne in mind that it is often advisable to modify the rear axle only since a modified front axle would give th e driver a
false sense of stability making it more difficult to perceive the safety limits. Modification to the front axle may be made where the
load is positioned behind the cab (e.g. crane) or where the superstructures are very rigid (e.g. van conversion).
Exceeding the Limits
When transportinggoods with anexceptionally highcentre of gravity(e.g. machinery,indivisiblecargo etc.) froma technical point
of view it is possible to exceed the values indicated in the table provided that the steering system of the vehicle is suitably adapted
to this condition (e.g. reduced speed, gradual changes on the steering wheel, etc.).
1.13.3Observing the Permitted Weights
All limitsindicated in our documentation must be adhered to. The load of the front axle is of particular importance undervarying
load conditions, in order to ensure the correct steering characteristics on road surfaces of all types.
Particular attention must th erefore be paid to vehicles with a weigh t which is concentrated on the rear overhang (e.g. cranes, tail-lifts,
centre axle trailers) and to vehicles with a short wheelbase and a high centre of gravity (e.g. silo vehicles, cement mixers).
When positioning the body and equipment, the loads must be correctly distributed transversally. For each wheel a variation in th e
rated load (1/2 of the axial load) of 4% is permitted (e.g. admitted load on axle: 10,000 kg load admitted on each wheel: 4,800 to
5,200 kg) provided that the tyres permit it, without impairing braking or driving stability.
For vehicles with an added rear lift axle it must be remembered that, with the axle in the raised position, the effective wheelbase
is reduced, whereas the rear overhang is increased. It is therefore advisable that the centre of gravity of the body and payload is
located in front of the centre line of the driving axle. In addition to this it is not advisableto equipa vehicle which has its load concentrated at the rear, with a lifting device.
Apart from different specifications for specific individual vehicles, the following may be taken to be the minimum values for the front
axle:
-20% of the total vehicle weight with uniformly distributed loads
-25% of the total vehicle weight for loads that are concentrated on the rear overhang.
The rear overhang of the body must be built in strict observance of the permitted axle loads, the limitations in length, the positioning
of the tow hook and of the underride guard stipulated by the relevant regulations and legal requirements.
Variations in the Permissible weight
Special exceptions to the maximum permissible weight may be granted for particular applications for which, however, precise
limitations regarding th e use will be imposed in addition to possible vehicle reinforcements.
Such exemptions, if they exceed the limits imposed by law, must be authorised by the Administrative Authority.
A reduction in admissible vehicle load (downrating) may require modifications on some parts, such as the suspension. In these cir-
cumstances, the necessary information may be supplied.
The request for authorisation must include:
-Weight distribution on the axles (e.g. vehicles equipped with crane and body) including positions of the centre of gravity of th e
payload.
-Proposals concerning the reinforcement of the vehicle components where necessary.

1.14Instructions for the Correct Functioning of the Parts of the Vehicle
and Accessibility for Maintenance
As a rule, when modifying or installing any type of equipment, nothing must be altered which prevents the correct fu n ctioning
of assemblies and parts of the vehicle under all operational conditions.
For example:
-Ready access to all parts requiring inspection or maintenance and periodic servicing must be provided. In the case of closed body
types suitable opening doors must be provided.
-For tilting cabs, adequate space permitting tilting must be assured. In the case of structures which involve the space above the
driver’s cab, adequate space for the passage of intake air must be guaranteed (see 1.5).

-Service access to chassis/driveline components must be retained. For instance repairing the gearbox or clutch must be possible
without necessitating the removal of major components of the added structure.
-The cooling system (radiator cowling, radiator, air passages, cooling circuit etc.), fuel supply (pump position, filters, pipe diameter,
etc.) and the engine air intake must not be altered.
-The anti-noise panels must not be altered or moved in order to prevent changes in the approved noise levels of the vehicle.
Should it be necessary to make openings (e.g. for the longitudinal runner of the body to pass through) these must be properly
closed off u sin g material with inflammability and sou ndproofing c haracteristics equivalent to those used originally.

-The positioning of the mud-guards and wheel-arches must allow free movement of the rear wheels even when chains are being
used. Sufficient space must also be ensured with lifting axles. Some of our models have 3
rd
axle steering which also steers in
the raised position; and it is necessary to leave space for this function (see point 2.20).
-When the vehicle has been set up, for safety reasons, headlight attitude must be checked and adjusted as necessary. Perform
the adjustment according to the instructions provided in the user and maintenance manual.
-In the c ase of parts which are supplied loose (e.g. spare wheel, chocks) it will be the responsibility of the bodybuilder to position
and secure them in an accessible and safe manner in compliance with possible national regulations.
1.15Quality System management
For some time IVECO has been promoting Quality System development and trainin g for bodybuilders.
This is arequirement duen ot only to compliance with domestic andinternation al regulations on productliability, but alsothe growing
demand for increasingly higher quality levels. The creation of new forms of organization in the various sectors and the quest for
increasingly more advanced levels of efficiency.
IVECO believes it essential for bodybuilders to be equipped and organ ised where the following are defined and available:
-organization charts for functions and responsibilities.
-Quality System.
-quality goals.
-technical design documentation.
-process and control phases with relevant resources.
-product improvement plan, obtained also with corrective actions.
-after sales service.
-staff training.
-manufacturer liability documentation.
1.16Vehicle maintenance
In addition t o making the necessary checks on the body/structure in keeping with customary working procedures, the bodybuil-
der shall perform the checks specified in th e “IVECO pre-delivery inspection” list, whic h can be obtained from the IVECO network,

2.1General instructions for chassis modifications
Particular attention must be given to the following points:
-Welding to the bearing structures of the chassis is explicitly prohibited (with the exception of the items described at points
2.3.4, 2.4 e 2.5).
-Holes in the flanges of the side members are not permitted (except for the items described at point 3.4).
-Where riveted connections exist and can be modified as explained below, these can be replaced by flanged-head screws and
nuts of min. class 8.8 or by hex screws of the next greater diameter and self locking nuts. Screws greater than M14 must not
be used (max. diameter of hole 15 mm) unless otherwise specified.
-In cases where the original joints were detached and rejoined with bolts it is forbidden to reuse the same bolts. In this event
and when rivets are replaced with bolts, the bolt torque must be c hecked after the vehicle has been driven approximately 500
÷ 1.000 kms.
2.1.1Specific Precautions
!
Figure 2.1
During welding, drilling, grinding and cutting operations near brake system pipes, and electrical cables, adopt the appropriate precautions for their protection. Remove them altogether
if necessary (observe the requirements set out under points 2.15.2 and 5.5).

Take precautions concerning the alternator and the electrical/electronic components
In order to avoid damaging the diode rectifier, never disconnect the batteries (or open the isolator) when the engine is running.
If the vehicle has to be tow started make certain that the batteries are connected. Should it be necessary to charge the batteries,
disconnect them from the vehicle circuit.
In order to run the engine with external means and in order to avoid current peaks which might damage the electric/electronic
components, do not use the ”start” function in conjunction with external charge devices if such devices are equipped with this
function. Starting will have to be carried out only with the external battery trolley ensuring correct polarity.
Earth connections
As a general rule the original earth connections of the vehicle must not be changed. If it is necessary to move these connections
or to implement further earth points use the existing holes on the chassis as far as possible and:
-Remove, mechanically , and/or with an appropriate chemical product, the paint on the chassis side andon the terminal side creat-
ing a resting plane free from indentations or ridges.
-Apply appropriate high conductivity paint between the cable terminal and the metal surface (e.g. galvanizin g paint IVECO Part
number 459622 by PPG).
-Connect the earth cables within 5 minutes from the application of the paint.
Do not use the IVECO standardised M1 (battery earth connection) M2, M8 (earth connection for started motor depending on the
driving position) points for the earth connections for control switches (e.g. sensor or low absorption devices).
With regard to theelectronic devices, avoid linking earth connections between the devices; only use single wireearths with optimised
lengths (as short as possible).
Electric wiring
Stralis vehicles are equipped with an innovative electronic system called MUX. Before performing any
operation on the electrical system, read section 5 “Special instructions for electronic subsystems”.
!
For further information regar ding the braking and electronic system, refer to point 2.15 and 5.5.
List of technical guidelines and standards for correct installation of electrical cables in vehicle electron ic systems
Power cables (+ direct type) must be fed on their own into corrugated piping (of appropriate diameter) and not together with other
smaller cables (signal and negative cables); they must be spaced a minimum distance of 100 mm apart (reference value = 150 mm)
from high heat sources (engine turbine, exhaust manifold, etc., ...). and a distance of at least 50 mm must be maintained from chemical
agent containers (batteries, etc.).
This rule also applies to the area around moving parts.
Cables that run through perforated or angled panels must be protected by screw-on adaptors for cables (in addition to the corru-
gated pipe).
The corrugated pipe must wrap fully around the entire cable and must be secured with a heat-shrink sleeve or using adhesive tape
to the plastic terminal caps. Collars securing the corrugated pipe cut along their length must not deform the pipe, otherwise the
cables could be laid bare or come into contact with the sharp corners of the corrugated pipe.
All connection terminals (+) of the above cables and also their terminals must be covered with plastic caps waterproof version, at
all points exposed to atmospheric ingress or where water builds up.
The fastening of the terminal on the clamps (including the earth clamps) must be protected against accidental loosening. For this
reason, it is necessary to apply an appropriate tightening torque if possible. In the case of multiple terminal connections, these must
be in a star configuration (but this connection method should be avoided if possible).
The relevant cable route must be supported by fastenings and collars spaced close together to prevent hanging cables. After repair,
outfitting or conversion work, restore the wiring harness to its original condition.
When connecting the frame andthe tipper cab, check the wiring with the cab raised and tipped to detect and correct any abrasions
or tautness of the cables.

2.3Drilling the Chassis
When it is necessary to mount assemblies or auxiliary units on the chassis, as a general rule,the existing holes made at the factory
should be used.
Under no circumstances should the flanges of the supporting member of the vehicle be drilled unless in compliance with
the indications given in point 3.3.1.
In those cases (installation of shelves, brackets etc.) where it is necessary to drill new holes, they must be drilled on the vertical
web of the side member and must be carefully deburred and reamed.
Position and Size
The new holes must not be made in areas of high stress (such as supports for springs) and at variance with the cross-section
ofthesidemember.
The diameter of the holes must be proportional to the thickness of the steel. Under no circumstances must this exceed 15 mm
unless otherwise specified. The distance from the centre of the hole to the edges of the side member must not be below 40 mm.
The centres of the holes must never be located at a distance of less than 45 mm from each other or in relation to the existing holes.
The holes must be staggered as shown in Figure 2.2. When moving spring support or crossmembers, the same drilling arrangement
must be u sed always maintain the original boring.
Figure 2.2
91445
2.3.1Screws and nuts
In general, use connectors of the same type and class as those for similar fixings on the original vehicle (Table 2.7).
As a general rule, materials of class 8.8 are recommended. Class 8.8 and 10.9 screws must have been hardened and tempered. For
applications of diameter
in Table 2.2. A Dacromet finish is not recommended if the screws are to be subjected to welding. If space allows, use screws and
nuts with flanged heads. Use self-locking nuts. Nuts must be tightened using a torque wrench set to the correct torque setting for
the fixing.
± 6mm, stainless steel parts are recommended. Approved finishes are Dacromet and zinc coating, as detailed

2.3.4Welding the Chassis
Welding operations must only be carried out by specialist, trained personnel, using suitable equipment
and in a perfectly workmanlike manner. Any intervention on the system not carried out as per instruc-
!
tions provided by IVECO or carried out by unskilled staff, might severely damage the on-board systems, thus adversely affecting vehicle operation safety and efficiency and causing damages not covered
by warranty.
Welding is permitted:
-When joining the sidemembers to extend or shorten the wheelbase or rear overhang.
-For the application of reinforcing L section flitch on a side member that is to be modified as detailed below (v. Figure 2.3).
Figure 2.3
When arc welding, the instructions below must be followed in order to protect electric units and ECUs:
-before disconnecting power cables, check to ensure all electrical items are switched off;
-where an electric switch is installed (battery isolation switch) wait for cycle end;
-disconnect negative power pole;
-disconnect positive power pole without connecting it to ground and DO NOT short circuit it with negative pole;
-disconnect ECUs connectors, carefully and do not touch ECU connector pins;
-when welding within the electronic control devices, disconnect them from the vehicle;
-connect welding machine ground directly to the part to be welded;
-protect plastic pipes against heat sources and remove, if nec essary;
-if welding near leaf springs or air springs protect against welding spatters;
-avoid electrode or gun contact with spring leaves;

Operations for welding preparation
As part of the procedure it will be necessary to remove the paint and deoxidise the parts of the chassis that are affected by the
welding operation as well as those partswhich may have to becovered by possible reinforcements. When work has been completed
the modified part must be protected with adequate rustproofing (see point 2.2.2).
a) Cut the side members with a diagonal or vertical cut. (We recommend that the diagonal cut be used particularlyfor the section
between the wheelbase) Cuts are not permitted in areas in which the profile of the side member as well as the chassis width
change or in those where there is a high concentration of stresses (e.g. spring brackets). The cuts must not be made through
the holes present in the side member (see Figure 2.4).
Figure 2.4
YES
YES
91446
b) On the inner side of the side member give the parts that are to be joined a V-sh aped chamfer of 60° along the entire length
to be welded (see Figure 2.5).
c) Arc weld in stretches using carefully dried basic electrodes. The recommended electrodes are:
For S 500 MC (FeE490: QStE 500TM)
Diameter of the electrode is 2.5 mm, current intensity approx. 90A (max. 40A for each millimetre of diameter of the electrode).
Using MIG-MAG welding use a welding rod with th e same characteristics as the material to be welded (diameter 1 to 1.2 mm).
Recommended welding rod:DIN 8559 - SG3 M2 5243
gas DIN 32526-M21 or DIN EN 439
If FeE490 is used at very low temperatures, we recommend:
PrEN 440 G7 AWS A 5.28 - ER 80S - Ni 1
gas DIN EN439-M21
Avoid current overloading. Welding must be free from marginal cuts and waste material.
d) Repeat the operation on the reverse side by welding as detailed in point c).
e) Allow th e side members to cool slowly and uniformly. Cooling by air, water or other means is not permitted.
f)Remove excess material resulting from the welding operations by grinding.

g) On the inner side reinforcing L-section flitches should be applied. These should be made of steel and have the same characteris-
tics as the steel used for the chassis. The minimum dimensions are given in Figure 2.3.
The reinforcements may only be fixed to the vertical web of the side member using welding beads, plug welds, bolts or rivets
(Huck rivets may also be used).
The cross-section and the length of the weld bead, the number and distribution of the plug welds, bolts or rivets must be adequate to transmit the bending and shearing moment of the section.
2.3.5Closing of existing holes
If, when making new holes, the existing holes are found to be too close (see Figure 2.2) these may be closed up by welding. To
ensure the success of this operation the outer edge of the hole should be chamfered and copper plate used for the inner part.
For holes with a diameter of over 20 mm, chamfered plugs may be used, welded on both sides.

2.4Modifying the Wheelbase
2.4.1General Specifications
Any change to the wheelbase affecting the electrical circuits and/or entailing a relocation of the electrical/electronic components must be approved and performed according to the instructions provided
!
in chapter 5.
As a rule, for each vehicle, modification to the wheelbase must be carried out on the standard wheelbase above or closer to
the new wheelbase required.
The measurements given in th e written authorisations will apply in all cases particularly for extensions made to the longest stan dard
wheelbase.
Frame cutting must be performed according to the indications given at point 2.3.4. Whenever permitted by the body size, wheelbases
should bemade equal to those planned inour production. This enables theoriginal transmission shafts and previously definedcrossmember positions to be used.
When extending a wheelbase beyond the production longest planned, the vehicle used must have the longest production wheelbase
to ensure the correct thickness side members are used. Particular care must betaken to comply with thelimits set by national regulations particularly with regard to t he limits for overall dimensions (where specified). Use only material shown at point 2.3.2.
2.4.2Authorisation
The alteration of the wheelbase for the 4x2 versions is permitted without specific approval by IVECO in the following cases:
-If the wheelbase is to be lengthened and the new value is still within the standard range of length with the same side member
section. These sizes are given in the specific technical documentation or in Table 2.8 and Table 2.9.
-If the wheelbase is to be shortened without falling below the standard minimum values established for each model.
Provided the chassis converter gives sufficient guarantees from the technological and control point of view (qualified personnel,
adequate operating processes, etc.).
For the 6x2 and 6x4 versions the wheelbase may only be modified following specific approval by IVECO.
Conversion must be carried out performed in compliance with these instructionsby making the necessarychanges and adjustments
and taking the appropriate precautions (e.g., determining whether ECU parameters need updating, rearranging the exhaust pipes,
ensuring compliance with specific load limits on the rear axle, etc.), by taking into due account the requirements specified for the
original wheelbase lengths.
2.4.3Effects on the steering
Generally, lengthening the wheelbase has a negative effect on the steering.
Whenever national regulations require it, the limits on the overall dimensions must be observed as well as the limits concerning
the effort applied on the steering wheel and the relevant operation times (e.g. ECE - R 79/01 standard or current EC Directive).
Tables 2.11 contain, the wheelbase extension limits for the various models, with series drive, at max load admissible on front axle
and with tires admissible on vehicle.
Should vehicles withlonger wheelbase beneeded, forspecial applications, itwill be necessary to fitvarious devices aimedat improving
the steering characteristics such as a reduction in th e maximum permitted load on the fron t axle or the installation of wheels and
tyres with shorter kingpin offset values (Table 2.17).
The fitting of an additional pump and a dual circuit power steering unit, if not immediately available, will require authorisation and
must only be installed by an authorised workshop.

2.4.4Effect on braking
Generall y, shortening the wheelbase has a negative effect on braking characteristics.
Table 2.11 gives the wheelbase alteration limits. Ask an authorised IVECO dealer for the conditions (brake cylinder, minimum tare
settings see section, technically permitte d masses, tyres, height of centre of gravity) under which these values are permissibl e .
Table 2.11 - Maximum permitted wheelbase lengthening depending on the load on the front axle and tyre dimensions
To ensure the success of the conversion proceed as follows:
-Arrange the vehicle so that the chassis is perfectly level, using the appropriate stands.
-Disconnect the propeller shafts, the braking system pipes, the wiring harness and any equipment that might prevent the work
being carried out correctly.
-Identify the reference points on the chassis (e.g. pilot holes, suspension supports).
-Mark the reference points with a light lineof punch markson the top flangeon both side membersafter ensuringthat their joining
line is perfectly at right-angles to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
-When re-positioning the spring hanger brackets, identify the new position using the reference marks made previously.
Check that the new measurements are identical between the left and right sides. Differences no greater than 2 mm should
emerge from diagonal checking of the lengths less than 1,500 mm.
Unless another tool is available, make new holes by using the supports and gussets of th e cross members as a template.
Fix the supports and cross members with rivets or bolts. If using bolts, fix the supports by reaming the holes and using class 10.9
calibrated bolts with nuts equippedwith a device that preventsthem from working loose.When space permitsit use flanged-head
screws and nuts.
-If cutting the chassis, make a second line of reference points so that the area affected by the modification is included between
these and the previous points (in any event ensure a distance of not less than 1500 mm. measured when the work has been
completed). Inside these two reference lines make points to mark out the area of the cut then proceed as indicated in point
2.3.4.
Before welding, ensure that the side members, including any added portion, are perfectly aligned and take measurements on
both sides and diagonally to check, as previously described. Fit the reinforcements as instructed at point 2.3.4.

-Protect the surfaces from oxidation as described in point 2.2.2.
-Restore the electrical and braking systems as described in points 2.15 and 5.5.
-For changes to the drive line follow the instructions given in point 2.8.
2.4.6Chassis Stress Level
When lengthening a wheelbase, in addition to local reinforcement on the side member joint, the bodybuilder must provide sufficient reinforcements to achieve the section moduli of the side member section no lower than that designed by IVECO for the same
wheelbase or for next size up. Alternatively, when permitted by local regulations, larger subframe sections can be used.
The body builder shall verify that such stress is not greater than the one of the chassis with the original wheelbase, by assuming an
evenly distributed load and the chassis being considered as a beam resting on the suspension supports. In any case, more restrictive
limits (if an y) set by the national standards shall be complied with.
When extending out from the longest original wheelbase the reinforcements must depend on the length of the extension, the type
of body built and the use to which the vehicle is to be put.
2.4.7Cross Members
The necessity of applying one or more additional cross members depends on the length of the extension, the location of the
transmission shaft support, the welding area, the introduction points of the forces produced by the body and the condition under
which the vehicle is to be used .
Any supplementary cross membersmust have the samefeatures as those already existing (flexural strength, torsional strength, quality
of thematerial, connection to the side members,etc). In Figure 2.6 shows anexample of the application. A crossmember is mandatory for any extension over 600 mm.
As a general rule the distance between the two cross members must not be greater than 1000 to 1200 mm.
The minimum distance between two cross members must not be less than 600 mm, particularly for heavy-duty and off-road use;
this limit does no t apply to the ”lightweight” transmission support cross member.

2.5Modifying the Rear Overhang
2.5.1General Specifications
In modifying the rear overhang it must be borne in mind that such modification entails changes in the distribution of the payload
on the axles relative to the loads established by IVECO (see point 1.13). The limitations established by national laws must also be
respected as well as t he maximum distance from the rear edge of the body and the ground clearance prescribed for the tow hook
and the underrun bar.The distance fromthe extremity of thec hassis to the rear edge of the body must not, as a general rule,exceed
350 to 400 mm.
Should the bolted rear cross member be re-positioned, the same standard type of connections shou ld be maintained (i.e. number
of screws, dimensions, class of resistance).
When re-positioning rear cross members fastened by rivets, these can be replaced by flanged nuts and bolts with same diameter
or by class 8.8 hexagonal-headed screws with the next largest diameter. Use self-locking nuts (do not use bolts with a diameter
larger than M14).
When the installation of a tow hook is planned an adequate distance (approximately 350 mm) must be left from the rear cross
member to the next nearest cross member for mounting and removing the tow hook wherever necessary.
If the modifications are carried out competently and in compliance with the specifications contained in this manual, the towable
weight originally established may be retained. In any case responsibility for the work rests with those who have carried it ou t.
Authorisation
Authorisation from IVECO is not required, if the frame is extended at the rear, or is shortened to the minimum value admissible
for each model as stan dard, provided that this is done ac cording to the instructions given in this manual.
If it proves necessary modify the length of the electrical circuits, see chapter 5 “Special instructions for
electronic subsystems”.
!
2.5.2Reducing the Overhang
If the rear overhang of the chassis has to be reshortened, the last cross member must be moved forward.
If, when reducing the overhang, the rear cross member is found to be too close to an existing cross member, the latter must be
removed if it does not affect the suspension supports.
2.5.3Increasing the Overhang
Various methods of increasing the length are given in Figures, 2.7 and 2.8.
The framemay be straight cut. The minimum dimensions of the reinforcements the areto befitted to the modified section are given
in Figure 2.3.
Figure 2.7 shows a typical method of extension for increases of 300 to 350 mm. In this c ase the reinforcing L-bars, which also serve
to connectthe cross memberand the chassis frame,must beof the samethickness andwidth as theoriginal gussetplate. The connection of the cross member and theplates, originally achi eved with rivets, may be made with class 8.8bolts with the next largerdiameter.

TRALIS AS/AT/AD Euro 4/5
In those cases where the joint between the cross member and the gusset plate is made by means of a weld, it is permissible to
join the gusset plate to the reinforcement by welding (see Figure 2.7).
When the increase exceeds 350 mm, Figure 2.8 shows the procedure to be used.

So will be necessary to examine on a case by case basis, the feasibility of in stalling a supplementary cross member to give the frame
sufficient torsional rigidity. Adding a supplementary cross member with the same properties as the standard production cross member is necessary whenever the distance between two cross members is greater than 1200 mm.

2.6Installing a Towing Device
2.6.1General Specifications
Without prior authorisation, the installation of a tow-hook is permissible only on those cross members which are intended for
that use and on those vehicles which IVE CO has intended for towing a trailer.
The subsequent installation ofa tow hook in vehicles for which the installation of a tow hook was not originally contemplated, must
be authorised by IVECO.
In addition to the permissible towing weight, the authorisation will specify all other possible specifications that are to be adhered
to such as the use of the vehicle, the transmission ratio, the type of braking system as well as possible specifications concerning
reinforcements to be applied to the rear cross member or the necessity for employing specially intended cross members.
In trailers with one or more axles close together (centre axle trailers), considering the stress resulting in particular from the vertical
dynamic load to which the rear cross member is subjected, the instructions given in point 2.6.4 must be taken into account.
The tow hook must be appropriate for the permitted loads and of the type approved by national laws.
!
Since tow hooks are important to vehicle driving safety (in some countries they must be specifically
certified) they must not be modified in any way.
When mounting the tow hook to the cross member, the specifications of the h ook manufacturer as well as the limitations imposed
by current standards - such as minimum space required for the brake and electrical connections the maximum distance between
the swivel hook axis and the rear edge of the body - must be respected.
This may vary as a function of national standards. In the European Community a maximum of 420 mm can be reached. If higher
values are required, check the EC Directive for the conditions to be able to accomplish this.
Should the fixing holes in the flange of the coupling hook not match the holes in the rear towing crossmember of the vehicle then
in certain cases re-drilling may be authorised in specific cases after applying appropriate reinforcements.
It is the bodybuilder’s responsibility to ensure that no part of the body or structure creates a hazard or impairs the maneuverability
of the trailer.
The trailer drawbar must be free to move unobstructed.

2.6.3Towhook for mid-axled trailers
When using trailers with central axles or heavy single-axled trailers with enormous support loads (e.g. while braking or due to
vehicle vibration caused by road surface irregularities), the final crossmember is subject to additional twisting stress and the bending
moment on the protruding part of the frame is higher.
The towed load allowedfor this type of trailer is therefore lower than that of normal trailers with a steering drawbar (see table 2.12).
For vehicles with very protruding crossmember or mid-axled trailers with high towed loads, a frame installation section (see t able
2.12) that is sturdier than the one specified for this type of construction may have to be used.
On trailer with a fixed towbar, the installation frame must be fastened to the vehicle frame fromthe edge of the frame to the begin-
ning of the first rear axle suspension via the end blocks (replace consoles with end blocks or add more end blocks, see figure 2.12).
The towhook holes on the different towing terminalcrossmembers available for mostvehicles (for specific orders or as a conversion
product) correspond to a given attachment size.
For different towing terminal crossmembers, the towing loads shown in table 2.12 may generally be type approved for mid-axled
trailers provided the vehicle type is not subject to legal restrictions (e.g. engine power) or other construction u n its (e.g. transmission
unit, braking system).
For this reason, the values shown in table 2.12 must be confirmed in any case in writing by the frame manufacturer (e.g. in the type
approval certificates, in the manufacturer’s certification).
The value ofthe maximum (static + dynamic) verticalload transmitted by the trailer to the hook can be determined moreaccurately
through the following ISO formula:
2/l2
Fv = a · x
·C·0.6+S
Fv = Max vertical load (static + dynamic) transmitted by the trailer to the tow hook (kN)
a = Vertical acceleration in the drawbar/towing hook coupling area; depending on the rear suspension of the tractor for semi-
trailer, use the following values:
-a=1.8m/sec
2
for vehicles with pneumatic su spension (or equivalent)
-a=2.4m/sec2for vehicles with other suspension types
x = Total length in mms of the loading area of the trailer (m).
l= Length of the trailer wheelbase (distance between drawbar towing eye centre and axle centre or trailer axle centre line)
in m.
C = Total weight of trailer, R, minus the static load applied S (all values expressed in tons).
* Indicative values determined according to ISO/TCC22/SCI5/WG4 Annex A through the following formula Fv = 3 × C × 0.6 + S (see following page)

2.6.4Lowered Rear Cross Member
If the typeof trailer used requires that thetow hook be positionedlower than originally intended, IVECO may issue authorisation
for the original cross member to be lowered or for an additional cross member (of the original type) to be fitted in a lower position.
Figures. 2.11 and 2.12 give some examples of how this is done.
The installation of the new cross member in its new position must be carried out in the same manner as before, using the same
type (diameter and class) of bolt.
Figure 2.11
91456
1. Original rear cross member - 2. Gusset - 3. Upside-down gusset - 4. Connecting angle piece
The thickness of the outer reinforcing angles must not be less than the thickness of the side members of the vehicle. They must
cover a length which is at least 2,5 times the height of the side member itself (maximum 600 mm) and be made of material with
the properties indicated in point 3.1.1. The angles are to be attached to the web of the side members using all the bolts joining the
cross member to the frame, integrating them with the other bolts so that, as a result of their number and location, they will take
into account the greater moment transmitted. As a general rule, when the cross member is lowered by an amount equivalent to
the height of the side member, the number of bolts is increased by about 40%.
When an additional cross member is installed (see Figure 2.12) a central joinin g plate with a thickn ess commensurate with that
of the cross members, must be employed.
A device to prevent the bolts from loosening must be adopted for t h e joints.

Assurance should be given that the movements between the tow bar and vehicle conform to current regulations. As a g eneral rule,
the original towable mass can be confirmed by IVECO. In any event th e responsibility for the work carried out will rest with the
bodybuilder.
The vehicle must be presented for inspection if local government regulations require it.
In Figure 2.12 shows an example of a lowered supplementary cross member.
When this solution is applied to short rear overhang vehicles, the external connecting plates must conform to the arrangement
described in Figure 2.12. Should the brackets of the underrun bar be modified, following the lowering of the rear cross member,
the new version will be equivalent to the original in terms of attachment, strength and stiffness and th e positioning of the lights
checked for compliance with t he standards (local standards where applicable).

The continuity of combined reinforcement runners can be interrupted only in special cases and is subject to authorisation. Similarly, when it is difficult to apply
an external reinforcing L section (items F and G Figure 3.4) - owing to the presence of suspension mountings or air spring connection brackets - and the recessing
to be performed could excessively reduce the section’s resisting capacity, the adopted solution will require special authorisation.
2.6.4.1Centre axle trailers: towing cross member in lowered and forward positions
(short coupling)
Vehicles designed to tow centre axle trailers for which a final cross member located in a lowered or forward position (next
to the rear suspension rear mountings or air springs) is evisaged, do not require particular chassis reinforcing devices. For the subframe, the runner profile dimensions indicated for the different types of equipmen t (e.g. see Table 3.4 standard bodies) will be sufficient. The bodybuilder will accurately work out the size and position of the chassis con nection structure (see point 2.6.3 and 2.6.4)
and make us e of a suitable cross member and an appropriate towing hook.
The tow hookposition will be such topermit any movementbetween vehicle andtrailer drawbar according to the variousconditions
of use, to comply with the required safety margins and the standards and legal regulations in force (where applicable). In these cases
the standard underrun bar cannot be used, and the bodybuilder will investigate the possible permitted changes from specifications
or the specific solutions to adopt (e.g. tilt type underrun bar).
2.6.4.2 Reinforcement of Standard Rear Cross Member
When it isnecessary to reinforce the standardcross memberan d when original cross membersare not available, the bodybuilder
will provide suitable reinforcements for which he shall be responsible.
These reinforcements may consist of C-sections mounted on the inside of the cross member. Care must be taken to ensure that
the connections between the cross member and the side members are also reinforced following the procedures recommended
below, whenever stronger enforcements are required:
1) The mounting of a channel section on the inside of the cross member and joining it to the vertical web of the side member
or to the following cross member of the chassis, if it is situated in close proximity, in compliance with the procedures illustrated
in Figure 2.13.

cross-member, and connected to it by means of a plate (as shown in Figure 2.12).
Should box-section assembly require modification to underrun bar plates the original requirements for fastening, resistance and stiffness must be met (comply with local government regulations if any).

2.6.4.3 Tow hooks for Centre Axle Trailers
The use of centre axle trailers involues the use of tow hooks suitable for this purpose.
The values of the trailer loads and of the permissible vertical loads are contained in the technical documentation of the manufacturer
of the tow hook or on the production data plate (e.g. DIN 74051 and DIN 74052).
There are also tow hooks with special type approval, whose values are greater than the ones mention ed in the above s tandards.
These hooks may in any case be subjected to restrictions depending on t he trailers used (e.g. drawbar length). In addition this can
imply that the rear cross member should be further reinforced and a subframe runner of larger size be fitted.
2.6.4.4 Remarks about the Payload
It should be ascertained that the static drawbar load does not cause the allowable load on the rear axle or axles to be exceeded
and that the required minimum load acting on the front axle is adhered to see point 1.13.3.
2.6.4.5Increasing the Towable weight
For those vehicles which IVECO regards as suitable for towing a trailer, a request may be submitted to evaluate the possibility
of authorising a towable weight exceeding that which is normally permitted.
Such authorisation will include the conditions that must be c o mplied with and, where necessary, specifications concerning modifica-
tions and work to be carried out on the vehicle.
These include possible reinforcements to the standard cross member (see Figure 2.13), the instructions for installing a reinforced cross
member when available, and those on the brake system to be made.
The tow hook must be suitable for the new use. Its connecting flange must match that of the cross member.
To fasten the cross member to the chassis frame, preferably use flanged head nuts and bolts o r hex head screws of minimum class
8.8. Use self-locking nuts.

2.7Installing a Supplementary Axle
The installation of an additional axle has heavy repercussions on the vehicle systems; in particular, it
has a critical impact on the braking system, the compressed air system, the wiring harness and the
!
MUX interconnection systems.
Accordingly, the addition of an extra axle must be approved by IVECO and must be performed according to the instructions given in chapter 5 “Special instructions for electronic subsystems”.
2.7.1General Specifications
On certain models IVECO may authorise, upon request, the installation of a supplementary axle and, consequently, an increase
in the total weight of the vehicle.
The modification must respect the weight limitations and the conditions imposed by IVECO as well as all other conditions that may
be imposed by national laws and such that are necessary to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the vehicle.
Diagrams of the installation procedure may be submitted for inspection. These proposals must indicate the parts necessary to con-
nect the axle to the chassis as well as the reinforcements to, and modifications of the chassis. It is also necessary to submit diagrams
showing the changes made to t he systems.
The specifications given in points 2.5 and 2.6 are to be followed for all modifications of the chassis.
In view of the increased stresses due to the increase in permissible load, and in consideration of the different phases of the dynamic
stressesin operation as a resultof the different reactions on the chassis when the axle is added,it is necessary to provide appropriate
reinforcements to the chassis.
These reinforcements must in all cases satisfy all provisions of local applicable laws. The chassis that has thus been modified must
not be subject to flexural stresses greater than those of the original chassis in the corresponding sections.
2.7.2Chassis Frame Reinforcement
Figure 2.15 illu strates possible ways of modifying the chassis. The reinforcements must be continuous and must span the length
of the entire frame of the vehicle up to the driver’s cab. For their attachment to the side member - when using L-bars - class 8.8
reinforcement bolts must be used and theirdiameter and distribution must be suchto enable the section reinforcements toprovide
the required strength.

Where an auxiliary frame is required as reinforcement (see point 3.1), the body mounting brackets o n the chassis (if any) should
be used for the attachment. An alternative method of attachment is shown in point 3.1.2 and those that follow it.
We recommend using shear resistant connection in the area of the rear overhang up to approximately the mid wheelbase (or to
a point no closer than 2 m from the front axle) (see Figure 2.15).
The fitting of reinforcing plates directly onto the flanges of the side members,u sing holes filled with welded material is not permitted.
This is to avoid affecting the strength of the original sections caused by poor welding.
This procedure is only permitted in special cases with specific IVECO authorization wh en there are proven difficulties in subsequent
body applications.
It is possible to do without reinforcements on the frame if the static stress values in the Table 2.10 are not exceeded.
Any limitations, imposed by national regulations must be c omplied with.
Because of the deterioration of t h e material’s properties during the welding process, if the installation is unavoidable it is then advis-
able to assume a reduction of 15% in the strength of the material when checking the load-effects acting on the various sections
of the chassis.
As a general rule the thickness of the reinforcing plate must not exceed that of the flange of the original chassis.
The mounting must be carried out by skilledpersonnel and the bodybuilder will be responsible for any damage to the frame resulting
from poor workmanship.

2.7.3Installing a Rear Supplementary Axle
The installation of a rear supplementary axle generally implies that the chassis overhang should be lengthened, the extension
must be carried out in compliance with the specifications given in point 2.5.3 relating to the modifications of the chassis, leaving the
reinforcements mentioned above unaffected.
When an additional axle is added to the overhang with a section depth smaller than the depth within the wheelbase area the adjustment of the section to give a higher value could be a solution towards reducing the stress arising from the conversion.
In Figure 2.16 shows an example of the installation of a rear axle with an extension of the rear overhang.

Installing an Intermediate Supplementary Axle
The installation of anadditional axle in aforward (intermediate) position relative tothe driveaxle may requirea possiblereduction
in the rear overhang (see point 2.5.2) in order to obtain the proper distribution of the weights (see Figure 2.18).

2.7.4Steering Axles
Steering axles can be installed both intermediately and at the rear. They can be of the self-steering or force-steering types and
be designed and installed in such a way that the required dependability and road safety are guaranteed. The self-steering axle must
be fitted with a device controlled from the driver’s seat which will lock the axle in the straight position when reversing.
The installation of an axle whose force-steering is obtained by means of the original steering system of the vehicle requires specific
authorisation from IVECO in relation to the suitability of the original components for the conversion in question. In this case, it will
be necessary for diagrams of the supplementary sy stem to be submitted for our inspection.
2.7.5Components and Suspension
Manufacturing quality of all components used (axle, suspension, braking units, systems etc) must be ensured in order to guarantee
driving safety and good vehicle operation.
Particular care and attention must be paid to the designing and construction of the suspension in consideration of its importance
for the proper performance and handling of the vehicle on the road.
The designed suspension may be either of the mechanical leaf-spring type, pneumatic with air actuated springs or of a mixed type.
Whatever type is used it must not negatively affect the handling characteristics of the vehicle and its components in terms of driving
quality, comfort, road holding, working angle of die transmission and its working space in the case of an intermediate supplementary
axle.
Where the additional axle has its own independent suspension, the suspension characteristics must be proportional to those of
the original rear suspension in relation to the static loads applied to the two axles.
2.7.6Stabilisers
When pneumatic suspension is used for the added axle, depending on the solution adopted, it may be further necessary to fit
an antiroll bar in particular when a body with a high centre of gravity is used.
Similar measures must be adopted to ensure stability in relation to mixed type suspension on an additional rear axle.
2.7.7Connection to the Chassis Frame
The connections of the added axle to the chassis must be such as to be able to withstand all longitudinal and transverse stress
forces without transmitting them to the drive axle.
At the points in which the forces are introduced (spring supports, air spring brackets etc.), appropriate cross members or suitable
frame reinforcements must be provided.
Ensure that t he added axle is at right angles and aligned properly in relation to th e longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the live axle.
Check using the appropriate equipment available in the market.

2.7.8Braking system for additional axle
The braking system, considering its importance relative to the active safety of the vehicle, must be
extremely well developed and constructed.
!
Braking units, hoses and joints of the same type as on the original vehicle must be used.
The auxiliary axle must be equipped w ith the same brake components as those provided for the front axle.
Use flexible pipes to form the connection between the fixed parts (chassis) and moving parts (axles).
The braking torque must be proportional to the static and dynamic loads in order to provide an even distribution of the braking
action to all the axles of the vehicle.
The total braking c apacity of the modified vehicle must, as a general rule, be proportional to th at of th e original vehicle, allowing
for the different total mass that is now applicable. The performance of the braking system (service, emergency and parking) must
in all cases satisfy the current government regulations in terms of deceleration, behaviour when hot, response time, efficiency of
engine braking and so forth.
If the Technical Control Authority demands that the technical documentation regarding t he braking system be submitted (e.g. adhesion curves, compatibility range diagram) this must be provided by the company in charge of the conversion or the manufacturer
of the auxiliary axle.
Upon request, technicaldocumentation with characteristicsand attainable performances of the brakingsy stem of the original vehicle
may be made available.
For the construction of the braking circuit for the additional axle it is advisable to employ equipment and circuits specially provided
for each single model by the Manufacturer of the equipment in use on the original vehicles.
Solutions are allowed that include direct connection between the additional axle braking section and theengin e axle braking section.
Check that the air tank capacity is sufficient for the size of the new additional brake cylinders. If necessary, fit a supplementary air
tank.
Current legal requirements must be complied with for the emergency and parking brake. We recommend that a parking brake is
fitted on the additional axle.
For indications of a general nature concerning the braking system, see the instructions given at point
2.15.
!
For the electrical system, comply with the indications provided at point 5.5.
2.7.9Raise Device
The additional axle may be equipped with a raise device and may also be used in specific cases where permitted by government
regulations, to increase the adhesion of the drive axle to the ground under certain conditions (starting uphill, slippery or snow/ice
covered roads) provided that:
-This modificationis made conditional tothe issue byIVECO of apermit in which the maximumpermitted loadon the overloaded
axle is specified.
-The device is used only for driving short distances for the uses stated above, and at the maximum speed stated on the specific
authorization.
Some nationalregulations permitthe use of the lifting device even during normal vehicle travel, providedthat the max. type-approval
load specified for the drive axle and admissible speed limits are not exceeded.
In such cases the indications given in point 1.13.2 should be heeded concerning the centre of gravity of the body plus the payload.
Approval of and Responsibility for the Operations Carried Out
Following conversion, the vehicle must be submitted to local authority technical control for approval (e.g.
single inspection or type approval).
The authorisation given by IVECO to install an auxiliary axle and th e passing of the approval inspection do not free the bodybuilder/
converter from responsibility for the conversion in question, or its effect on the vehicle.
For the added assemblies, the required service or maintenance operations with relevant schedule, consistent with the operations
and relevant schedule planned for the original vehicle must be defined and entered in the specific documentation.

2.7.10Modifying the suspension
Changes to the suspension can be made only with IVECO’s prior approval, the suspension being a system of decisive importance to riding safety.
!
As a general rule no modification of the parabolic springs is permitted. On vehicles equipped with these springs, installation of
elastic rubber components may be authorised for special versions or uses in order to increase the stiffness of the suspension. In
very specific cases, and for specific uses,t he possibility may be evaluatedof adding an extra leaf to the parabolic spring. Thisoperation
should be carried out by a specialised firm following approval by IVECO.
The use on the same axle of one parabolic spring and one trapezoidal spring is not allowed.

2.8Modifying the Drive Line
Following the modification of th e wheelbase, work on the transmission as a general rule, is carried out on t h e basis of the transmission of a similar vehicle with approximately the same wheelbase. The maximum value of the inclinations of the propeller shafts
used for standard production vehicles is to be retained. This rule must also be applied when any modifications to the suspension
and rear drive axles are made.
In cases of particular difficulty, the assistance of the company may be sought. A diagram giving the length and inclination of the proposed n ew transmission must accompany the request.
The purpose of the specifications contained in this manual is to ensure the proper functioning of the transmission, to limit its noise
and to avoid the build-up of stress transmitted from the engine assembly.In no way does this diminish the responsibility of the bodybuilder for the work he has completed.
2.8.1Permitted lengths
The maximum operating lengths obtainable for both the intermediate shaft sections and the sliding shafts ”LG” or ”LZ” (see
Figure 2.18) can be determined according to the external diameter of the tube existing on the vehicle and the maximum operating
rotational speed (see formula). These are specified in Table 2.15.
For the propeller shaft length specified in Table 2.15 when the tube diameter is not sufficient, a n ew shaft section with the same
characteristics as the existing sh afts must be used. As an alternative, in some c ases the transmission shaft with a larger diameter tube
can be used. The tu be diameter required can be determined in compliance with the required length and the maximum rotational
speed, directly from Table 2.16.

The greater thic kness of the tube depends on the class, i.e. on th e torque that the original shaft has to transmit and on the design
of the driveline (torque, ratios of kinematic c hain, power axle load).
A reference value for the thickness of the tube of a general validity cannot be given. When, for example, a tube of a larger diameter
is to be used, its thickness should theoretically be reduced until the torsional strength of the original tube is achieved. It should
however be noted that, to determine the thickness of the tube, the following points are to be taken into account: the size of the
male element of the fork, the possible necessity of adapters and the sizes of the tubes available.
Therefore the th ickness of the tube should be agreed upon as each oc casion arises with the workshops authorised by the manufacturers of the transmission shaft depending on its dimensions (i.e. size of the universal joint).
The minimum operating length (from flange to flange) must not be less than 800 mm for the sliding sect i ons and 700 mm for t he
intermediate sections.

2.8.2Determining Driveshaft Positions
In the case of drive lines which consist of several shafts, the individual shafts must all be approximately of the same length. As
a general rule, the difference in length between a non sliding and a splined shaft (see Figure 2.19) must not exceed 600 mm. The
difference in length between the shafts must not be more than 400 mm. A margin of at least 25 mm must be left so that the sliding
joint can travel when the splined shaft is closed. When fully extended the shaft sliding sleeve should cover the splined stub for a
length that should be about twice the diameter of the splined stub itself.
When the required length of the drive line exceeds the permissible length, an additional driven shaft must be provided as illustrated
in Figure 2.19.

The intermediate sh aft an d the inclin ation of the rear axle case must be aligned accurately.
The difference in their inclination relative to the engine-clutch-gearbox axis must not vary more than 1°. This can be achieved by
fitting wedges between the rear axle and the springs, or by adjusting the rear axle reaction bars. The inclination of the rear axle must
not exceed 5.5°
When, with a loaded vehicle, the rear axle flange is at a level which is lower th an that of the gearbox flange, care must be taken
to ensure thatthe inclination of the differential housing and ofthe driven shaft are greater than the inclinationof the engine-gearbox
axis. On the other h and, if, with a loaded vehicle, the rear axle flange is at a level which is higher than that of the gearbox flange,
the inclination of the differential housing and of the driven shaft must be less than the inclination of the engine-gearbox axis.
When lengthening the wheelbase is substantial, it may becomenecessary to fit a supplementary intermediate shaft as shown in Figure
2.20. In this case the same inclination must be maintained between the engine-gearbox axis, the second intermediate shaft and the
axis of the differential housing.

Elastic supports must be fitted with the aid of supporting plates, at least 5 mm thick (see Figure 2.21), connected to cross-members
having the same characteristics as those specified by IVECO.
When reducing the wheelbase it is recommended that the intermediate shafts are removed if the length of the splined shaft is less
than approximately 800 mm.

The same holds true also for vehicles with separate gearbox. In addition to this, as a general rule, the wheelbase of such vehicles
cannot be reduced beyond the measurement of the shorter wheelbase contemplated for standard production (tippers for example).
The use of original drive line parts from IVECO is recommended for these modifications however. Should this not be possible, har-
2
dened steel tubes with a yield point of not less than 420 N/mm
(42 kg/mm2)maybeused.
Modifications to the universal joints are not permitted.
Whenever the transmission or part thereof, is modified, each modified section must be subjected to careful dynamic balancing.
Since transmission is important to vehicle driving safety, it should be borne in mind that any
modification to it must bear maximum operational guarantees. Only very specialised and transmission
!
manufacturer-certified companies should therefore be employed to carry out work of this kind.
IVECO’s approval is not required, if the frame is extended at the rear, or is shortened to the minimum value admissible for each
model as standard, provided that this is done according to the instructions given herein.
If it proves necessary modify the length of the electrical circuits, see chapter 5 “Special instructions
for electronic subsystems”.

2.9Modifications of the Engine Air Intake and Exhaust System
2.9.1Intake
The specifications of the engine air intake and exhaust systems must not be altered without prior authorisation from IVECO.
Modifications carried out must not alter the vacuum levels (for t he intake) or the original exhaust back pressure levels.
The air intake must be positioned to avoid the intake of hot air from the engine and/or dusty air snow or rain. The apertures for
the intake of air which may have to be made in the side of integral bodies, must have a working surface of not less than two and
a half times that of the masterh ose located upstream of the filter. Theseapertures (e.g openings in the grill) must be of such a dimension that they do not become obstructed. It is prohibited to alter the air filer or replace the original filter with a lower air capacity
unit. Any connectionson the intake duct must guarantee resistance of the tube to penetration by water or dust andfree from sharp/
rough edges (or welding burrs inside metal tube). It is not permissible to modify or substitute the original air filter.
2.9.2Engine exhaust
The routing of the exhaust pipe must be as even as possible. Bends must not have an angle of less than 90º and the radii sho uld
not be less than 2.5 times the external diameter. Avoid kinks and usecross-sections which are no smaller than those corresponding
to the original system. Any connections on the intake duct must guarantee resistance of the tube to penetration by water or dust
and absence of sharp edges or welding burrs inside the tube. Su fficient clearance should be maintained (min. 150 mm) between
the exhaust pipe and the electrical system, plastic hoses, the spare wheel, the plastic fuel tank (min. 100 mm), etc. Lower values
(e.g. 80 mm) may be permitted if suitable sheet metal shielding is used. Further reductions require the use of heat insulation and
the substitution of the plastic tubes with steel pipes. It is not permissible to modify or substitute the original air filter; the silencer
body cannot bealtered. Modificationsto the silencer bodyand engine equipment (injectors, enginecontrol unit etc.) are not permissible as this may alter the correct fun ctioning of the engine and adversely affect the emissions of gases from the exhaust.

The properfunctionin g of the original system,especially in connection with the radiator, the freesurface of the radiator andhoses
(dimensions and layout) must n ot be tampered with. Whenevermodifications must be made that entail work on th e engine cooling
system (e.g., modifications to the cab), the following points must be considered:
-The useful area for the passage of air for the cooling of the radiator must not be less than that which is available on vehicles
with the standard cab.Maximum venting of air fromthe engine compartment must be ensuredand care must be taken - possibly
using shields or baffles - to avoid stagnant air pockets or back flow of air. The performance of the fan must not be altered.
-If it is necessary to re-position the hoses this must be done without affecting the complete filling of the system (which must occur
at a continuous flow without forming blockages at the mouth) orth e normal flow of water. The maximum stabilising temperature
of the water must not be altered even under the most severe operating conditions.
-Hoses must be located so that air pockets are not formed (i.e avoiding air traps and providing appropriate bleeding points) that
could hinder the circulation of water. Check that the water pump primes immediately on starting the engine and later operates
with the engine idling (accelerate a few times, if necessary) even when the circuit is not pressurized. Check that the delivery
pressure of the water pump, when the engine is running under no load and at maximum RPM, is not lower than 1 bar.
-Always reinstall the radiator anti-clogging protection after making alterations to the engine cooling system.

2.11Installation of a Supplementary Heating System
When the installation of a supplementary heating system is deemed necessary, it is advisable to use the types recommended
by IVECO.
For vehicles on which IVECO has not planned the use of suppleme nta ry heaters, the installation should be carried out in compliance
with the supplier’s instructions (i.e. heater arrangeme nt, piping, electrical system etc.) and following the directions given below.
All national rules and regulations relevant to the matter should be adhered to (i.e. inspections, particular installation for dangerous
cargo transporta tio n etc.). The suppleme ntar y heating system must not make use of the equipment that is specific to the vehicle
which is subject to approval if the use is liable to impair or alter the performance of the equipment.
Furthermore:
-ensure correct operation of the vehicle components and equipment (i.e. cooling system);
-check the electrical system to ensure that the battery capacity and alternator output is sufficient for the higher current requirements (see point 5.5). Provide the new circuitry with a protection fuse;
-connect the intake of the newly added fuel system to the reservoir connected to the engine fuel return line. Direct feed from
the vehiclefuel tank is permitted only ifthis is independent from theengine fuel systemand the new circuit is perfectly leakproof;
-trace pipe and cable paths, the location of brackets and hoses bearing in mind that the overall dimensions and heat affect the
various units on the chassis. Avoid runs and arrangements that could lead to hazards when the vehicle is running. Use shields
or armouring if necessary;
-When installing a water heater, original vehicle heating and engine cooling circuits are involved (see point 2.10), it is advisable
to follow the instructions listed below to ensure reliability of the heating system an d safe operation of the original system:
- special care must be taken when defining the connections between the supplementary equipment and the main one; refer
to IVECO, if necessary;
- determine a rational arrangement for piping, avoid neckings and siphonings;
- install proper ventin g valve (bleeding points) to ensure proper filling of the system;
- supplementary plugs should be installed to ensure draining of the system, if necessary;
- proper insulation should be used to prevent heat dissipation.
-When air heaters are u sed and when the installation is to be made directly in the cab, make sure that the engine exhaust system
does not touc h the added installation (to prevent exhaust gas circulation ins ide the vehicle) and have the correct warm air
distribution by avoiding direct air flows;
-the complete installation should be designed to ensure good accessibility for quick and easy servicing.

When the installation ofan air conditioning system is deemednecessary, itis advisableto use the typesrecommendedby IVECO.
If this procedure is not applicable, the installation must be carriedout in accordance with the supplier’s instructions and the following
points:
-the installation must not interfere with the correct operation of the vehicle components and of equipment which may be connected with the installation;
-check the electrical system to ensure that the battery capacity and alternator output is sufficient for the higher current requirements (see point 5.5.3). Provide the new circuitry with a protection fuse;
-in liaison with IVECO, establish a method for installing the compressor; if it is fitted to the engine, use the original IVECO compressor;
-trace pipe and cable paths, the location of brackets and hoses bearing in mind that the overall dimensions and heat affect the
various units on the chassis. Avoid runs and arrangements that could lead to hazards when the vehicle is running. Use shields
or armouring if necessary;
-the complete installation should be designed to ensure good accessibility for quick and easy servicing. At vehicle delivery, the
bodybuilder will supply all service and maintenance instructions which are deemed necessary.
Furthermore, according to the system operations:
a) Equipment installed inside the cab
-The condenser should not impair the original engine cooling system operation (reduction in the radiating area of the engine
radiator).
-The best arrangement is to use a condenser, suitably ventilated.
-The arrangement of the evaporator-blower unit in the cab (if not planned by IVECO) should be designed to make sure that
the accessibility control and operating equipment is not impaired.
b) Equipment fitted on the cab roof
-When the equipment (condenser, evaporator, blower) is fitted on the cab roof, make sure that its weight is not higher than that
permitted for roof installation. Furthermore, the bodybuilder must provide proper reinforcement to the roof frame if necessary,
in relation to the weight of the unit and the extent of the modification introduced.
-For specific applications with compressors not supplied by IVECO (e.g. fridge box), contact the IVECO offices in charge.

taken when carrying out work that may affect the cooling system and air inlet pipes of the engine.
When defining the position of payload, account must be taken of the variation in cab weight, in order to ensure the correct distribution of the permitted loads on the axles (see point 1.13).
For operations t hat require the removal of sound deadening panels or internal protective elements (panelling, padding) restrict the
removal to the absolute minimum, taking care to restore the protective elements to their original condition, ensuring the previous
operating capability.
Controls and equipment (power take-off engagement control, external operating cylinder control etc.) may be fitted in th e cab provided t hat:
-They are positioned, properly and are easily accessible to the driver.
-Safety, control and warning devices are fitted which meet the requirements of use and safety of the vehicle and its equipment
as well as th e requirements of national legislation.
Ensure that the pipes and wires are correctly positioned particularly when the cab is tilted. Use the necessary fixings taking care to
observe the appropriate distances from the engine, heat sources and moving parts.
Provide the necessary protection from corrosion for all modifications to the structure (see point 2.2).
Ensure that seals are fitted correctly and apply sealant to those areas which require it.
Ensure that a perfect seal is provided against the infiltration of water, dust and fumes.
The bodybuilder must check that after modification, the cab satisfies legal requirements regarding both the inside and outside of
the vehicle.

Changing the Si ze ofth e Tyres
S
TRALIS AS/AT/AD Euro 4/5
2.14Changing the Size of the Tyres
Replacing the tyres with others of different sizes or with a different loading capacity with respect to those considered at the time
of vehicle type-approval must be approved by IVECO and it is also necessary to check for the need to reprogram the EBL or EBS
system.
Changing the size of the tyres may involve replacing the wheels with others of a correspondingly greater loading capacity. In this
case check whether the spare wheel carrier needs to be changed.
Mounting tyres of different sizes or types of construction on the same axle is prohibited.
Changing the size of the tyres may affect the ground clearance of the front and rear underrun guards, therefore the compliance
with the national legal requirements must be verified. Its supporting brackets, where necessary, may be replaced with other appropriate, type-approved brackets.
The use of larger tyres always necessitates verification of the safety margins for the mechanical parts, wheel arches etc., under all
dynamic conditions of steering and bump travel. In certain cases the use of wider tyres may entail a check on the axles to assess
the space required for the suspension components and the length of wheel studs etc.
Where there is local national legislation specifying overall widths (e.c. Jersey etc.) these must be complied with.
The use of tyres with a different outside diameter affects th e performance of the veh icle in t erms of speed, maximum gradability,
pulling force, braking power etc.The tachograph must be recalibrated by an authorised workshop. The load capacity and the relative
reference speed must always be compatible with the performance of the vehicle. When the tyres with a load capacity or speed
limit are chosen for a given vehicle, the permissible loads of the vehicle or its performance, must be reduced accordingly. On the
other hand, the use of tyres with a greater load capacity does not automatically increase the maximum permissible weight on the
axles.
The size and load capacity of the tyres are established on the basis o f internatio nal and national norms (ETRTO, DIN, CUNA etc.)
and are listed in the manuals of the respective tyre manufacturers.
Specific performance characteristics may be establishedby government regulations for special use in the case of fire-fighting vehicles,
vehicles for winter duty, airport tankers, buses etc.. Whenever so required by government regulations the vehicle must be presented
to the respective government agency for inspection of the parts that have been replaced and entry of the respective modifications
in the vehicle documents.
Tyre loading capacity is given in the individual manufacturers’ manuals.

2.15Modifications to the Braking System
2.15.1General Specifications
The braking system with its components represents an element of crucial importance to vehicle safety.
!
It is prohibited to make changes to units such as the brake force control system, distributor, brake cylinders, valves, etc, which are rated as safety components.
Any changes to the braking system (changes to the piping, fitting additional operating cylinders, etc.)
require prior authorisation from IVECO.
For new equipment we recommend the same make as those fitted to the original vehicle.
When required by national regulations, the vehicle must be submitted for testing to the respective authority.
In the event of the regulating valves, air drier etc., being moved, reinstate the sametype of installation as originally envisaged, verifying
correct operation. In addition, operations carried out on the air drier must not affect cooling of the air supplied by the compressor.
2.15.2Brake Pipes
When the wheelbase or rear overhang of the chassis are modified, the brake pipes concerned must be replaced by a single length
of new pipe. Where this is not possible the connectors used must be of the same type as those usedoriginally on the vehicle. When
replacing observe the minimum internal dimensions of th e existing pipes.
The new pipes must have the same characteristics and be of the same material as those used originally on the vehicle. The installation
must be carrie d out so that the piping is protected and the correct function of the system ensured.
For the supply and fitting of material we recommend that you contact our Parts Centres or specialised workshops.
Plastic Pipes
When fitting new pipes or replacing others, plastic must not be used for the following:
-in areas where the temperature reaches more than 80°C (e.g. within 100 mm of the engine exhaust system).
-Between fixed and moving parts, in this case special hoses are to be used.
-On the hydraulic lines.
During modification the following must be observed:
-Material and dimensionsStandard DIN 74324 (Iveco Standard 18-0400)
(max. operating pressure 11 bars)
-Radii of curvature: min. 6 Ø ou ter dia
(referred to the pipe centreline)

As a rule quick coupling connectors should be used. We recommend that the same makes present on the original vehicle be used.
When necessary (e.g.near bends),connectors with metal inserts may beused. Before inserting the pipeinto the connector the latter
must be screwed into its threaded seat on the component (e.g. pneumatic valve) adopting the tightening torques indicated below.

Insert the portion of the length L, previously marked, of the pipe into the connector app lyi ng force for 30 to 120 N depending on the
dimension of the pipe.
The replacement of the components(valves etc.) is madepossible since the coupling and connector may be internally rotatedwhile

Should piping be replaced:
!
1. If the connectors are of the Raufoss P5 type, use new connectors.
2. If the connectors are of the Voss 214 type, disassemble them using the special pliers, then re-fit them
on the new piping.
Installation of piping on vehicle
New pipes must be thoroughly cleaned inside before use (e.g. by blowing through with compressed air).
Pipes must be fixed in their correct position. The fixing clips must go right round the pipe. They may be o f plastic, metal or rubber.
Observe adequate distances between the various fixing elements. As a rule a maximum distance of 500 mm for plastic pipes and
600 mm for metal pipes is applicable.
For plastic pipes, in order to prevent distortion and tension on the connectors when fitting them, take the necessary precautions
when working out the run and fitting the fixing brackets onto the chassis. Correct fitting of the fixing brackets will ensure that the
pipes do not ru b against th e fixed parts of the chassis.
Observe the necessary safety distances from moving parts and heat sources.
When a pipe has to pass through the chassis frame (side or cross members)appropriate precautions must be taken to avoiddamage.
A solution which can be used as a bulkhe ad connection for a straight or angled run is given in Figure 2.23:
Figure 2.23
91464
1. Pipe - 2. Bulkhead connector - 3. Chassis
After completing any work either on the system or the equipment, the braking system must be
checked to ensure its efficiency.
!
For air systems, build up the pressure to its maximum value. Check for leaks in the areas affected by
theworkcarriedout.
To ensure thatthe connections havebeen madecorrectly, theair reservoir for oneaxle may be discharged. This check can be performed by reading the on-board gauge and, by working the brake pedal, by checking the pressure in the remaining brake section (or
sections).
In hydraulic circuits, on completing the work, the normal air bleeding operation must be performed.

2.15.3Electronic braking system control devices
For any changes to the electrical circuits, read carefully chapter 5.
!
When modifying the wheelbase, the ABS modulators must be kept in their original position in relation to the rear axle. The
electrical wires (harness) between the sensors on the rear axle and the control unit and between the control unit and modulators
must be modified accordingly by fitting the harness(s) from a longer wheelbase IVECO vehicle should there be insufficient length
in the originals. Brake pipes upstream of the modulators must be similarly modified.
2.15.4Taking air from the system
In vehicles with an air braking system it is possible to obtain small amounts of air from the air tank in the auxiliary circuit. Air
should only be taken in through a reflu x valve that is able to prevent tank pressure dropping to below 8.5 bars in the service brake
circuit and auxiliary circuit.
Air must be taken in directly behind the brake system four circuit protection valve (output 24).
In the Stralis series, air may be taken in directly on the valve plate on connect ion 5 unless this is already in use (see Figure 2.24).
Figure 2.24
116722
If larger quantities of air are required a supplementary air reservoir must be fitted. In this case, it will be necessary to check that the
air compressor fitted is capable of charging the brake system reservoirs within the prescribed times.
If necessary a larger capacity compressor must be fitted.

Subject moved to chapter 5.5NOTE
2.17Repositioning Parts and Mounting Auxiliary Assemblies and Equipment
Whenever, in the course of modifying the vehicle, it should become necessary to reposition assemblies such as the fuel tank,
batteries or the spare wheel, such relocation is permitted provided that the functioning of these parts is not impaired and provided
that the same type of connections as originally in use are re-employed. Their transversal location on the vehicle’s chassis may not,
when their weight requires it, be changed radically.
In the case of vehicles not equipped with a spare wheel carrier, and vehicles in which the spare wheel carrier must be relocated,
the spare wh eel must be secured to a suitable wheel carrier which allows the wheel to be readily removed.
To secure the spare wheel to the side of the vehicle with a support attached to the web of the side member, it is advisable to use
a reinforcing plate on the inside or outside of the side member. The size of this plate must take into account both the weight of
thewheelandthepossiblepresenceofotherreinforcementsonthesidemember(seeFigure2.25).
Figure 2.25
91470
In order to limit the torsional stresses on the vehicle chassis, we recommend that the plate be fitted wherethere is a cross member,
particularly in the case of heavy units.
A similar procedure should be adopted when fitting additional units such as tanks, compressors etc. When positioning them, due
consideration must be given to the distribution of the weights (see point 1.13.3).
In any event, an adequate distance of their height from the ground must be ensured with due consideration given to the use of the
vehicle.
It is advisable to take measures to reinforce the frame depending on t he weight of the construction parts. On request, Iveco is able
to provide further information on this topic.
Any holes that are necessary for the relocation must be madeon the web of the side member in accordance with the specifications
given in point 2.3 Holes already present must be made use of to the greatest extent possible.
When tank refilling is hindered by the positions of the body struct ure, the tank mounting brackets may be installed one drilling unit
lower (45 mm).

Supplementary fuel tank
If a supplementary fuel tank is to be added, the best solution is to use the same system arrangement already used for original
fuel tank,using, whenever possible,original elements.The use of a switchingsystem allows the alternative feeding fromthe two tanks
(see Figure 2.26).
Figure 2.26
91471
The use of the above system is advisable when the added tank is located on the side opposite the original one. When the tanks
are in lineon the same sideit is possible tomaintain fuel feedfrom the originaltank then the addedone should be connecteddirectly
to the former through hoses. The arrangement must conform to national rules and regulations. The tank-to-tank connecting line
must be leakproof and not of a smaller internal dimension, have the same techn ical characteristics as those envisaged for the original
system and be properly secured.

2.18Transporting hazardous goods ADR
Vehicles used to transport dangerous Goods - for instance inflammable materials or explosives - must be built in compliance
with the safety specifications established for this type of transport by national or international regulations.
Stralis vehicles may be fitted with option 2342 (ADR) in combination wit h option 8818 (Digital Tachograph for ADR).
The optional 2342 consists of:
-special electric disconnector positioned on frame.
-Disconnector control switch positioned in cab.
-Emergency switch.
-Protected electrical connections.
-Wiring protected using polyamide sheath.
-ADR type approval plate.
-Operating instructions.
If option 2342 is fitted, central door locking is not available.
On the assumption that the Bodybuilder is aware of, and in compliance with, the particular specifications relative to this subject we
would like to recall, nonetheless, that all vehicles crossing borders within Europe must be in compliance with the ”European Agreement on international transport of dangerous substances on roads” (ADR), now included in the specific EC Directive.
As a case in point, we list below some of the requirements in the above mentioned Agreement (ADR), which in any case must be
carefully examined:
1) Electrical equipment.
Electric wiring must be suitably insulated and protected in conduits from impact, stones, heat etc.
Circuits must be protected against overloads by fuses or automatic disconnectors.
A general circuit breaker (excluding the tachograph supplied directly by the batteries) with suitable safety devices, located close
to the batteries, with direct or remote c ontrol in the cab or outside.
2) Braking:
Compliance with the specific EC Directives.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and retarder compulsory in the cases required by the law.
3) Protection of the cab.
Use ofvirtually flameproof materials,in conformity with ISO 3795, with combustion speedsno greater than 100 mm/min. Otherwise, have a protec tive wall between the driver’s cab and the transported container.
4) Exhaust system.
Those parts of the exhaust system which reach temperatures of more than 200ºC and canno t be moved in front of the protective wall, must be adequately insulated.
If the exit of the exhaust cannot be turned outwards, in the case of tranporting explosives, it must be equipped with a spark
arresting device.
(If any modifications of the exhaust pipes are necessary, they must be carried out in accordance with point 2.9).
5) Fuel tank.
This needs to be positioned so it is protected against bumps. In the event of it over turning or of leakage, the liquid has to run
off straight onto the ground.

similar vehicles. The following points must be observed:
-Ensure the wheels can turn without any foul conditions even in the full bump condition with snow chains fitted, in compliance
with the limits shown in the documentation supplied by IVECO.
-On vehicles with lifting axles sufficient space must be allowed for the axle to fully lift without the tyres fouling any struc t u re,
following the instructions given the relevant documentation.
On the 6x2/PS and FS (Steering Version 2)the axle also steers when the axle is raised, therefore sufficient space must be allowed
for this function as shown in Figure 2.27. The dimensions shown refer to 315/80R22.5 tyres, allow another 50 mm if385/65R22.5

When fitting mudguards or making whell boxes the following points should be considered:
-The supporting structure should be sufficiently strong enough , avoiding any sudden variation in section.
-If the supports are fixed to the web of the sidemembers they must be bolted, the sidemembers must not be welded (see Figure

the vehicle must ensure compliance with the required characteristics unless it is already equipped with them ex-factory.
On permanently fitted structures such as fixedplatform bodies,vans etc, the side guards will be fitteddirectly to their basic structure
(floor ribbings cross members) whereas on mobile struct ures (such as tippers, interchangeable equipment, removable containers),
the side guards will be connected to the auxiliary frame by way of suitable brackets or installed directly on the chassis. In the latter
case, we suggest that the Bodybuilder makes use as far as possible, of the holes already existing on the side member vertical web
in compliance with point 2.3.
According to the EC regulation, the external protection element can either consist of a single runner whose surface extends in the
vertical direction or of several longitudinal sections with preset sizes and distances between them.
The side guards mustbe connected to theirown supportingstructures in order to allow quickremoval or tiltingshould maintenance
or repair work on assemblies or components located next to them be needed.
Operation of and access to the following parts must be ensured:
-Brake system equipment.
-Air inlet system
-Fuel supply.
-Batteries.
-Suspension.
-Spare wheel.
-Engine exhaust.
The guards must be made of the appropriate materials (e.g. FeE420).
Particular care must be taken when fitting to ensure the clearance from the ground and the distances to the various components
required by the regulations.
In Figure 2.29 shows a type of side guard designed in compliance with the relevant EC Directive to be fitted to fixed bodies (available
on request). The illustration also shows a specimen of a support designed for the c o mbined fastening on the side guard and the
rear wheel mudguard which can be fitted to mobile auxiliary subframes.
The Bodybuilder will takecare of the preparation and the arrangement of the side guard depending on the type of auxiliary subframe
concerned, as it is not possible to provide instructions of a general character applying to all equipment versions.

Usually these are fitted directly at the factory. Should this not be the case, or if it is necessary to change their original position,
the Bodybuilder must work out a new arrangement in compliance with local regulations. The new position must ensure reliability
and safety as well as easy access for operation by t he user.
