A device to prevent the bolts from loosening must be adopted for the joints.
Remarks about the Payload
It is essential to check that the static load on the hook does not mean that the permitted load on the vehicle rear axle is exceeded
and that the minimum weight adhering to the front axle is respected, as indicated under point 1.13.3.
Increasing the Towable Mass
For those vehicles which IVECO regards as suitable for towing a trailer, a request may be submitted to evaluate the possibility
of authorising a towable mass exceeding that which is normally permitted.
Such authorisation will include the conditions that must be complied with and, where necessary, specifications concerning modifica-
tions and work to be carried out on the vehicle.
These include possible reinforcements to the standard cross member (see Figure 2.7), the instructions for installing a reinforced cross
member when available, and those on the brake system to be made.
The tow hook must be suitable for the new use. Its connecting flange must match that of the cross member.
To fasten the cross member to the chassis frame, preferably use flanged head nuts and bolts or hex head screws of minimum class
8.8. Use self-locking nuts.
Rating plates
Some countries require a plate to be fitted, near the towing device, giving the maximum permitted towable weight and vertical
load. If not already fitted, this must be done by the bodybuilder.
The body builder shall also take care that the above plate is properly fitted.
