1.11 Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
WARNING: Make sure that the
modified vehicle complies with all
relevant legal requirements.
CAUTION: The travel and function of
pedals must not be restricted.
Changes to the powertrain, engine, transmission,
exhaust, air intake system or tyres may influence
the exterior noise emission. Therefore the
exterior noise level of the converted vehicle has
to be verified.
The interior noise levels should not be
deteriorated by the conversion. Reinforce panels
and structures as appropriate to avoid vibrations.
Consider the usage of sound deadening material
on panels

1.14.2 Recommended Nominal
Body Lengths for Chassis Cab
models
The following is the recommend method for
selecting best fit body lengths to suit the Chassis
Cab range, dependant on the load biases of the
conversion
Body lengths shown in the following charts are
given for guidance only, based on a minimum
specification chassis including driver, spare wheel
and full fuel. In the case of Uniformly Distributed
Load (UDL) figures the combined body and
payload Center of Gravity (CofG) is positioned
midway along the internal length of the body.
Body lengths are given as Nominal or Maximum.
Under most conditions the nominal body length
is recommended, maximum body length should
only be used when a nominal length body cannot
accommodate a specific load length requirement.
CAUTION: When considering
maximum length bodies, payload
latitude and flexibility will be reduced
as the available rear axle capacity
is used to the full. Non Uniformly
Distributed Load (UDL) loads that
are rearwards biased, should not be
used with maximum length bodies.
In order to achieve the largest load latitude
nominal (rearward biased) body lengths are the
primary recommendation. However recognizing
each body and its associated payload will have
an infinite number of CofG positions, in addition
to the large number of chassis specifications, it
is recommended that the chassis kerb weight
and plated weights are determined before a
weight distribution calculation is performed.
Chassis specification is assumed minimum with
base engine and drivetrain, any additional
equipment or alternative drivetrain's may reduce
the body length. It is recommended that physical
Chassis kerb weights are established to calculate
weight distribution when ever a body length
greater than nominal is considered.
Bodywork longer than the nominal dimension
may require a rear overhang extension with the
repositioning of the rear light bar and extension
electrical supply circuits. Body floor height may
require an increase in height to accommodate
angle of vision requirements for rear light and
license plate.
430 derivatives are fitted with a rear under-run
bar, modification of the rear overhang may
invalidate approvals, consult your local National
Sales Representative before considering
modification.

2.5 Driveshaft
2.5.1 Power Take Off
Gear Box add-on - Auxiliary
Propeller Drive Shaft
CAUTIONS:
Make sure that an inhibitor is fitted
to any modified vehicle that uses
the prop-shaft to power auxillary
equipment.
The only modification to the engine
control system (throttle, powertrain
control module and fuel pump)
recommended by the manufacturer
is the addition of an engine (RPM)
controller.
Do not weld or join onto any part of
the axle assembley.
The transmission oil temperature
must not exceed 130° during
operation of the Power Take Off
Where power is to be taken from the prop-shaft
for accessory drive, the engine controller can be
used in the same way as for the Front End
Accessory Drive (FEAD).
Refer to: 3.3 Accessory Drive (page 77).
Exceeding the recommended power take off
ratings may result in the engine over heating.
If the driveshaft is modified, it must be balanced
to a limit of 80gmm at 5000rpm and the
installation must not have universal joint angles
exceeding 4°. The gearbox output included angle
must be no more than 1°.
