The inclination of the axle casing should not be greater than 5.5
°
from the horizontal plane.
When in vehicle loading conditions, the flange of the rear axle is lower than that of the gearbox housing flange, it is necessary to
make the inclination of the axle housing and the intermediate shaft greater than that of the engine-gearbox axle. Vice versa, when
in vehicle loading conditions, if the flange of the rear axle is higher than that of the gearbox housing flange, it is necessary to make
the incline of the axle housing and the intermediate shaft less than that of the engine-gearbox axle.
When wheelbase lengthening is substantial, it may be necessary to mount an additional intermediate section, as indicated in Figure
21. In this case, make sure that the engine-gearbox axle, the second intermediate shaft and the rear axle casing axis when in static
load are all aligned with the same tilt.

9. Gearbox, second intermediate shaft, sliding articulated
shaft and axle casing axis must have the same tilt.
The application of flexible supports must be done using support plates with a thickness of at least 5 mm (see Figure 22), connected
to cross members with characteristics similar to those specified by IVECO.
In modifying the wheelbase, it is best to plan for disassembly of intermediate shafts when shaft length is less than approximately 800
mm.
