2.13.1 General information
All operations on the driving cab must be previously authorised by IVECO.
The changes must not prevent the functionality of the control devices positioned in the area involved with the change (e.g. pedals,
linkages, switches, pipes, etc.) nor change the resistance of the weight bearing elements (pillars, reinforcement sections, etc.).
Necessary attention must be paid to the operations that could involve the engine air intake and cooling ducts.
If the cab weight has changed, the position of the useful load must be taken into consideration in order to comply with the division
of the weights permitted on the axles (see paragraph 1.15.2).
For operations that require the soundproofing panels or internal protections (panels, padding) to be removed, remove as little as
possible, being careful to restore the protections are originally foreseen, guaranteeing their original functionality.
Controls and devices (power take-off engagement control, external operating cylinder control, etc.) may be installed in the cab under
the following conditions:
- the positioning is rational, precise and accessible for the driver;
- the safety, control and signalling devices foreseen by national regulations have been adopted.
Make sure that the pipes and cables are correctly positioned also in function of cab tilting; use the necessary fastenings making sure
to ensure suitable distances from the engine, heat sources and moving components.
Provide the necessary corrosion protection for every change to the structure (see chapter 2.3).
If the body is cut and raw plates are welded, to prevent the ferrous corrosion of the joints, galvanised plates should be used on both
surfaces (I.S. 18-1317 class ZNT/F/10/2S or I.S. 18-1318 class ZNT/10/2S), on which a surface protection cycle should be applied.
Carefully position the gaskets and apply sealant in the areas where this protection is required.
Ensure a perfect seal against the infiltration of water, dust and fumes.
After working on the body, the fitter must check that the characteristics that comply with the regulatory requirements have been
maintained both inside as well as outside.
