CHASSIS MODIFICATIONS 2-47 E URO C ARGO E URO 4 - 5 Arrangements are permitted whereby the direct connection is achieved between the braking sections of the added axle and that of the live axle. It should be ascertained that the capacity of the air reservoir is adequate to the size of the additional brake cylinders. If necessary an additional air reservoir should be installed. Current government regulations regarding emergency and parking brakes must be respected. We recommend that the parking brake be constructed to act on the added axle as well. For instructions of a general nature concerning the braking system, see the instructions given at point 2.19.
For the electrical system, the instructions given at point 2.21 must be complied with. ! 2.11.11 Raise 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 modification is made conditional to the issue by IVECO of a permit in which the maximum permitted load on the overloaded axle is specified. - this modification is made conditional to the issue by IVECO of a permit in which the maximum permitted load on the overloaded axle is specified.
Some national regulations permit the use of the lifting device even during normal vehicle travel, provided that 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 3.2.2 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 will 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 the 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.
