4.10 Exhaust and intake system modifications
4.10.1 General considerations
Generally, no changes are permitted in the exhaust and intake systems of the ve
-
hicle. If some changes are required, for example due to incompatibilities between
the chassis frame and the superstructure, the relevant department at HMC should
be contacted, to obtain confirmation of the work to be carried out.
NOTICE
To obtain more information about about HMC reference departments:
See General Book, chapter 2.4 "Contact possibilities".
More information about certificates of conformity can be found in:
General Book, chapter 2.6 "Verification and certification of superstructures".
CAUTION
Modifications to the exhaust and intake systems might involve the loss of the
Registration Certificate of the vehicle and warranty of engine operation.
ENVIRONMENT
If modifications are carried out incorrectly in the exhaust and intake systems, this
could lead to the leakage of pollutant gases into the atmosphere. Operation of
these systems should be evaluated after the changes.
CAUTION
The Body Builder will be ultimately responsible for the reliability and proper oper
-
ation of the vehicle after modification work, including equipment fitted as stand
-
ard to the basic vehicle.
NOTICE
- For more information about maintenance and damage prevention:
See General Book, chapter 4 "Maintenance and damage preventions“.
- Modification work must always be carried out by qualified personnel and in
compliance with the standards on safety and risk prevention.
- The accident prevention regulations and laws and regulations of each country
should be always respected.
