2-54 CHASSIS MODIFICATIONS E UROCARGO Euro 4/5 Cab modifications 2.13 Cab modifications 2.13.1 General specifications Any work on the driver’s cab must first be authorised by IVECO before any work is started. Modifications must not prevent operation of the control devices located in the area affected by the modifications(e.g. pedals,linkages, switches, pipes etc) or alter the strength of the load- bearing elements (uprights, reinforcement sections etc.). Due care must be 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 distribu- tion of the permitted loads on the axles (see point 1.13). For operations that 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 the cab pro- vided that: - 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 the 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. 2.13.2 Roof panel modifications Installation and modification work to achieve specific refurbishments must be carried out with great care to safeguard thestrength and integrety of the cab and ensure that its operation and protection are maintained. When fitting assemblies or devices on the roof, make sure that their weight does not exceed that permitted for the cab. These limits can be supplied on request, as a function of type of superstructure. Cab modifications Base - January 2008 Print 603.93.431
