1-14 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS E UROCARGO Euro 4/5 Iinstructions for the correct functioning of the parts of the vehicle and accessibility for maintenance 1.14 Instructions 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 functioning 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 Figure 1.4). Figure 1.4 91516 1. Retain adequate room for tilting the driver’s cab - 2. Retain the free space above the gearbox (for tractors with semitrailers consider the movement between tractor and semitrailer) - 3. Cab pivot point - 4. Min. distance to be met - 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 using material with inflammability and soundproofing characteristics equivalent to those used originally.
