Operations on sheet metal
2.13.2 Operations on the cab
Change operations for the creation of specific versions must be carried out very carefully in order to protect the resistance and
maintain the functionality and protection of the cab.
When applying units or equipment on the roof panel (e.g. air conditioning systems, spoiler) check that the weight of the equipment
does not exceed the permitted weight for the cab. The required limits may be provided upon request, based on the version.
If an opening must be made, the following is necessary:
- foresee union radiuses no smaller than 50 mm;
- do not change any ribs that may be present;
- do not alter the curvature of the roof.
Installation of a spoiler or a baggage compartment
Upon request, versions created by IVECO based on its own designs and checks are available.
If installing ”kits” of another origin, comply with the specific indications provided by the manufacturer.
If foreseen by national standards, these installations must be checked by the responsible approval bodies.
Operations on the roof panel and the rear wall of the cab
If it is necessary to remove the rear wall and partially the roof panel (e.g. caravan versions), the following instructions must be
observed:
- make the cut as shown in Figure 2.19, being careful to comply with the minimum union radiuses;
- eliminate the structure relative to the rear cross member on the roof panel level;
- create a structure able to guarantee that the pillars will not be deformed to maintain the efficiency of the upper safety belt
connections;
- for this structure, foresee resistance at a compression of at least 800 daN;
- create the connection with the new structure following the general instructions provided above.
