When the elongation is rather large, the need of an additional crossbar must be evaluated on a case to case basis in order to ensure
proper torsional strength of the frame. The insertion of an extra crossbar having characteristics similar to the series is necessary,
however, when two cross members are spaced more than 1200 mm apart.
2.6 INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
2.6.1 General information
Conversion from non-trailer version to type approved trailer version is allowed without requiring specific authorisation from
IVECO.
Note
A vehicle not originally intended for towing may be adapted to this purpose by adding the specific "trailer section", i.e. inserting the
set of components listed in the type-approval documentation for the trailer version (chassis cross member, electrical coupling union,
tow coupling, chronotachograph, etc...).
However, bear in mind that fitting the chronotachograph, when necessary in relation to current legislation, must be only carried out
by the IVECO Service Network.
