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.
- 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.
- Adequate ventilation of the brakes and battery case (especially in the case of vans) must be guaranteed.
- When positioning the mudguards and wheel arches, the rear wheels must be free to rebound even when used with chains.
- When the vehicle has been set up, for safety reasons, headlight attitude must be checked and adjusted as necessary. Perform
the adjustment according to the instructions provided in the use and maintenance manual.
- In the case of parts which are supplied loose (e.g. spare wheel, chocks) it will be the responsibility of the bodybuilder to position
and secure them in an accessible and safe manner in compliance with possible national laws.
