The maximum inclination X° of the rear axle casing must be less than 10° in relation to the horizontal.
Note
It is strictly forbidden to move the transfer box.
We recommend using original IVECO gearboxes; if this is not possible, the use of raw steel pipes with a yield load of at least 420
N/mm
2
(42 kg/mm
2
) may be used.
The universal joints may not be modified.
For each modification of the transmission, or of any of its parts, careful dynamic balancing must be performed on each modified
section.
▶ Given that the transmission is an important part of the vehicle in terms on safety, we strongly
recommend that all modifications made to it stand up to maximum safety standards. Therefore,
all modifications should be made only by highly specialised Companies that are qualified by the
transmission Manufacturer.
2.9 WORK ON SUSPENSIONS
▶ Modifications to the suspensions and springs (e.g. addition leafs, variations in camber, etc...) af-
fect the driving safety of the vehicle and inasmuch may only be implemented after obtaining ap-
proval from IVECO.
In general, work on parabolic suspensions is not allowed. On vehicles with this type of suspension spring, exception is made for set-
ups or special uses for which, in order to increase suspension rigidity, the application of rubber elastic elements may be authorised.
In exceptional cases and for specific uses, the possibility may be evaluated of allowing the addition of extra leaf springs on the para-
bolic springs; this must be carried out by a specialised spring manufacturer after approval by IVECO.
It is not allowed to use a parabolic spring on one end of the axle and a semi-elliptic string on the other end.
▶ On vehicles equipped with an ESP system, modifications of the suspensions are not permitted.
See Chapter 2.15 - Paragraph "Derating of the ESP System".
Note
Adaptation of the suspension assumes a corresponding adaptation of the ESP system controlling stability (see Paragraph "Derating
of the ESP system" (
➠
Page 32)).
