”This document provides data, characteristics, instructions and methodology to perform repair interventions on the vehicle and its components.

Anyhow, this document is addressed to qualified and specialised personnel. Iveco commercial and assistance network personnel as well as all Iveco authorised points of assistance are specifically qualified and equipped to perform the repair interventions that are indicated in this document.

Before performing any intervention, check to have available the document relating to the vehicle model on which the intervention is being performed and also make sure that all accident prevention devices, such as, as a rough guide, goggles, helmet, gloves, shoes, as well as work tooling, lifting and transport tooling, etc., are available and efficient, and further make sure that the vehicle is put such a way that an intervention can be made in safety conditions.

Making interventions strictly observing the indications given here, as well as using specific tooling indicated, assures a correct repair intervention, execution timing observance and operators’ safety.

Each repair intervention must be finalised to the recovery of functionality, efficiency and safety conditions that are provided by Iveco.

Each intervention, on the vehicle, that is finalised to a modification, alteration or else, which is not authorised by Iveco, involves the exclusion of any responsibility for Iveco, and, in particular, where the vehicle is covered by a guarantee, each such intervention involves an immediate lapse of the guarantee.

Responsibility for Iveco in repair intervention execution is excluded.

Iveco is available to provide all clarifications necessary to make interventions, as well as to provide indications in cases and situations not included in this document.

Data and information contained in this document could result not to be updated owing to modifications made by Iveco at any moment for technical or commercial reasons, or because of the need to adapt the vehicle to law requirements in different countries.

In the case of a difference between what contained here and what actually found on the vehicle, please contact Iveco network before making any intervention.”

The data contained in this publication might fail to reflect the latest changes which the Manufacturer may introduce at any time, for technical or sales purposes, or to meet the requirements of local legislation.

Copy, even partial, of text and drawings is forbidden.

799512 PIPINGS AND FITTINGS

In general

Hydraulic system pipings for industrial vehicles are currently of two types:

-Flexible ones made of polyamide with single-layered or

double-layered structure and in the following diameters ( 6-8-10-12-16 mm) equipped with spares in meters.

- Rigid metal pipings

in

the following

diameters

( 4.75-6.35-8-10-12

mm).

Pipings from

4.75 to

10 mm are supplied as spares in straight 4-5-6 m crop ends, while those exceeding 10 mm are supplied as spares already cut, bent and reflanged.

Make sure that pipings are not in contact with sharp

!edges or with cutting metallic parts or with heat sources, but that are distant therefrom by a minimum safety distance of 15 mm.

-Moreover, when crossing chassis longitudinal members or metallic parts, check that passage holes are coated with rubber fairlead rings and that these latter ones are in good conditions;

-Avoid that the pipe slides along cutting edges that would risk to create nickings;

-Having to fix the piping onto already existing ducts, take into account the supplementary heat to which it can be subjected (hydraulic power steering duct): in such case, the piping must be protected with guards;

-At the end of the connection, verify that the piping, between keying and securing, is not stretched, but must be slightly loosened to recover higher temperature variations, particularly for short lengths;

-Before assembling, accurately clean the pipings by blowing compressed air in order to guarantee system operation.

EBS 2 (ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM)

The increase in competition in the transport sector has had the effect, among others, of constantly increasing the basic requirements of braking systems.

The introduction of the EBS electronic brake system is the logical answer to these new needs.

It is an integrated and permanent electronic control system for the brake system of the tractor and trailer. It supplements the ABS, ASR and EBL functions.

The system is made up of a pneumatic system and an electric system. In the system there is inserted the CBU (central brake unit), component integrating:

-Duplex distributor, which generates electric and pneumatic signals to increase or decrease pressure in the braking system;

-electronic central unit, which has the task of managing the braking system determining deceleration values as a function of parameters detected from various components;

-proportional relay valve, which modulates pressure at front axle.

The EBS system dialogues with the control units of the other assemblies:

Engine, Ecas, retarder and gearbox via the CAN line (VDB, Vehicle Data Bus).

EBS Benefits

Lower servicing costs.

The EBS combines many functions. The aim is to cut maintenance costs while maximizing braking safety — that is minimizing brake lining wear.

An individual control according to the lining wear parameters on both the front and rear axles harmonizes lining wear. Distributing the load homogeneously between all the brakes of the wheels reduces total consumption. In addition, the frequency of servicing and changing the linings coincide. The costs of inactivity are drastically reduced.

Depending on the servicing a vehicle needs along with other factors, the owner may be able to make considerable savings. A comparison of the maintenance costs, for the brake system, of a vehicle with EBS and one with a conventional brake system highlights significant savings.

Tractor and trailer compatibility at any time

Harmonizing the braking processes of the entire tractor-trailer combination, especially if the combinations are frequently changed, often with conventional means, is not satisfactory.

An inadequate balance, such as with a trailer whose braking is not sufficiently effective, will cause uneven wear of the brake linings.

The EBS will recognize all the incompatibilities between tractor and trailer, harmonizing braking automatically. When the brakes work in the best conditions, not only are brake maintenance costs optimized, but safety and comfort are optimum too.

Complete fault-diagnosis structures

The EBS provides the owner of the vehicle with constantly updated information on the state of the brake system and the basic brakes. This makes it possible to schedule servicing in advance. The EBS monitors all the fundamental components and functions of the brake system.

Any defect recognized by the system is accurately highlighted. The maintenance specialist can therefore rectify the error at issue.

The high degree of safety ensured by the EBS is due to several factors:

-Lower pressure accumulation and response times for the brakes on the front, rear and trailer axles.

-Better ABS function.

-Tractor/trailer always balanced in every moment.

-Constant monitoring of the service brake system. In the event of reduced brake performance, the EBS will be able to warn the driver.

-The integrated ASR function permits optimum vehicle stability and drive optimization.

OPERATING LOGIC

The purpose of the electronic control unit is to slow down the vehicle as quickly as possible, ensuring its stability and avoiding the tendency for the wheels to lock.

To achieve this aim, while braking, the electronic control unit will be informed of the:

-required deceleration via the sensors inside the duplex control valve;

-pressures made available via the pressure sensors in the components;

-reaction on slowing down due to the pressures made available via the speed sensor signals.

The continuous monitoring and processing of this information, in relation to the set aim, will cause the modulating valves to activate appropriately and optimize the braking action accordingly.

Therefore, such force will be larger as compared to required deceleration.

This, as may be seen, also holds for the semitrailer control.

If the reaction on the fifth wheel ”Rr” is not as expected, the system automatically increases or decreases the predominance at the graduated release and ”Ffm” accordingly so as to ensure the best compatibility between the tractor and semitrailer in compliance with current type-approval standards, as may be seen in the following compatibility diagram.

AUXILIARY BRAKE INTEGRATION

Commercial vehicles are normally fitted with auxiliary brakes for slowing down without causing wear, such as the exhaust brake and intarder.

On vehicles equipped with the EBS, these devices can be integrated to ensure the vehicle slows down sooner and more effectively. The exhaust brake/intarder action percentage is set by the driver with the lever.

The exhaust brake will be applied up to a speed of 1000 rpm, while the action of the retarder will cause the following action depending on the position of the lever:

Figure 24

001685t

Position 0 — disengaged

Position 1 — E.B. 100%

Position 2 — E.B. 100% + Intarder 25% (20% *)

Position 3 — E.B. 100% + Intarder 50% (40% *)

Position 4 — E.B. 100% + Intarder 75% (60% *)

Position 5 — E.B. 100% + Intarder 100% (80% *)

Position 6 — E.B. 100% + Intarder 100%

These applications, always possible, will be signalled to the driver by the relevant indicator lights coming on.

*Vehicles with mechanic gearbox.

On vehicles without the optional Intarder, the auxiliary brake lever has just three positions: off, E.B. 50%, E.B. 100%.

!On vehicles fitted with a EuroTronic gearbox, with the auxiliary brake lever on position 6, slowing down will be more effective with the automatic gear shift down.

Switching the engine off for longer than one minute involving a change in load, tyres or ratios at the rear axle causes the adjustment data to be lost and so a fresh period of data acquisition will be necessary for the system to be able to reactivate auxiliary brake integration if no vehicle parameter is changed the integration will be immediately available.

If manually activating the auxiliary brakes, the next time the brake pedal is pressed will implement integration.

On releasing the brake pedal, if the manual action is compatible with the calculated action it will be kept active.

If activating the auxiliary brakes, both manual and integrated, causes the rear axle to slow down too much and a tendency for it to lock, the EBS control unit, on detecting this situation via the speed sensors, will immediately disengage them or turn on the auxiliary brake Slip Control.

ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

ESP function, joined to EBS abilities, controls vehicle lateral dynamics.

The main objectives of this function are:

- Improving stability, most of all in both understeering and oversteering conditions

-Reducing braking spaces in change of line conditions on slippery roads Main central unit input data in order to achieve following objectives, are:

-signal from steering angle sensor (mounted on the steering wheel)

-signals from yaw speed and lateral acceleration sensors (integrated into the ESP module, that is mounted on the chassis and also contains a part of ESP software).

In order to avoid control loss, the ESP will automatically activate the brakes of one wheel per axle only trying to take the vehicle back to correct direction. In this case, the ESP controls towing body skidding angle and slant, as well as the shift between driver’s request and actual vehicle yaw speed. To the purpose of withstanding vehicle deceleration, the driving torque will be decreased. In yaw control mode, the ESP very carefully controls driver’s reactions and always tries to provide relevant support.

Note: ESP function is optionally available on tractors only.

“ABS-EBL” SYSTEM (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM — ELECTRONIC BRAKE LIMITER)

EBL function controls rear axle wheel “skidding” by comparing it to front axle wheel speed.

On the basis of wheel r.p.m.’s and braking pressure (detected by the sensor upstream from rear axle ABS modulators), the central unit calculates vehicle speed, rear axle wheel “skidding” and minimum acceleration expected.

“ABS” (Anti-Lock Brake System)

The braking of a moving vehicle and the according deceleration and stopping distances depend above all on the grip between the surfaces of the tyres and the road.

With a fully efficient braking system, a further improvement in braking can only be achieved by acting on the friction of the tyres or on the grade of the road surface.

Even in these optimum conditions, absolute braking safety is anyhow not guaranteed when faced with especially tricky situations, such as poor grip due to a wet or icy road surface: the driver is forced to moderate use of the brakes in order to avoid partially locking one or more wheels, with the risk of skidding dangerously.

The function of the ”ABS” is therefore to ensure vehicle stability (in all braking conditions), preventing the wheels from locking irrespective of the state of the road surface, so as to ensure the available grip is made full use of.

Even in the case of emergency braking, the system makes it possible to keep direction, that is to turn the steering wheel to avoid obstacles with no risk of skidding.

In short, the anti-lock brake system (ABS):

-Prevents the wheels locking when the vehicle is braking, no matter what grip is available on the road.

-Shortens stopping distances.

-Provides safety for the driver who can keep the vehicle’s stability and direction.
