CHASSIS MODIFICATIONS 2-49 E UROCARGO Euro 4/5 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- dened steel tubes with a yield point of not less than 420 N/mm 2 (42 kg/mm 2 ) may be used. 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”. ! Modifying the drive line Print 603.93.431 Base - January 2008
