GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The instructions given in this section aim at the following targets:
D Ensure, in all cases, the mechanical groups making up the chassis work properly.
D Act as compulsory regulation for both IRISBUS shops and external Body repairers,
if manufacturing bodies on behalf of IRISBUS .
D Define the quality standard to be achieved for external Body repairers,
self-equipping IRISBUS chassis.
D Set the standard relationship between IRISBUS -Body repairers and subcontractors
as for production processing control and final product technical compliance
regulation.
D Define the Body maker obligations as for works involving safety parts.
D Determine the Body maker liabilities before and after the IRISBUS authorization
achievement.
D Define the IRISBUS -Body maker obligations as for the product direct liability.
D Define the Body maker obligations as for the warehouse and modified vehicle
quality management, as well as warranty procedures.
We remember that the Body maker cooperation with IRISBUS assumes he is a capable
professional, always able to best exploit his technical and organization capacities. Therefore,
IRISBUS takes for granted that his implementations shall always be carried out in compliance with
professional rules. The following issues are not exhaustive and simply provide basic rules and
provisions, which can be further developed.
Faults or defects due to total or partial failure to comply with the current regulation could not
be covered by the chassis warranty, chassis mechanical groups included.
1.1
RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS
The Body maker shall be totally liable for the body project and implementation, in order for
the vehicle to provide the necessary performances and reliability.
Therefore, he shall:
D Comply with the rules supplied by the current equipment instructions.
D Not modify the chassis without the IRISBUS written authorization.
D Build the body structure so to incorporate it within the IRISBUS chassis, by taking
particular care as for frame seams.
1.1.1
Body spare parts
The Body maker agrees to ensure the supply of spare parts for a minimum period of 10 years,
starting from the last ordered body, and for all the assembled parts and components.
Print 603.93.748

1.2
1.2.1
D Operation and Maintenance Manual, including chassis specifications.
D Chassis complete project, including dimensions essential to the Body maker.
D Equipment instructions, including information essential to the body manufacturing
(heating intakes, leveling stands, etc.).
D Diagrams of the electric, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, including data necessary
to the Body maker (authorized intakes, powers, etc.).
1.2.2
Body maker supply
For each equipped vehicle delivered, the Body maker will provide Operation and Maintenance
instructions for the body and the related components, which will complete the manual supplied
by IRISBUS along with the chassis.
Moreover, a spare parts catalog of the body and related components shall be supplied to the Body
maker.
1.3
All vehicles belonging to a same work order shall be equipped with components of a same
brand, model and quality.
1.4
PROVISIONS
The body maker shall always consider and check the final product fully compliance with all
applicable legal provisions for this type of vehicles, namely: local government/self-governing
body/national regulations enforced in each Country where they are registered and/or used (Road
Traffic Code, Official Rules, etc.), international rules (European Union Regulations, UNO/Geneva
ECE Regulations, etc.), as well as all those instructions relevant to accident prevention, servicing
instructions, environment, etc.
Note that the current equipment regulation only quotes recommendations concerning the
applicable law, accident prevention provisions or other information which, in our opinion, can be
considered as the most important ones. They are not meant to supersede or relieve the body
maker commitment and liability to constantly update his sources of information.
For this reason, IRISBUS is not held liable for consequences due to mistakes resulting from poor
knowledge or wrong construction of the currently enforced legal provisions.

1.5
REGISTRATION BOOK
Current national laws do not provide for registration books related to chassis meant for
passenger vehicles. Therefore, the complete final product (equipped vehicle) contractor or
purchaser shall have to require the registration book, provided no specific agreements have been
made with IRISBUS .
IRISBUS will make all the necessary chassis documents available, so to obtain the equipped vehicle
registration and the relevant registration book (in Spain, the class approval according to Royal
Decree 2140/86 and the chassis manufacturing certificate).

1.6
This chapter defines liabilities for the works to be carried out onto IRISBUS passenger vehicle
chassis, according to the following categories:
D sales to the distributor
D sales to the Body maker
D sales account
This in order to clearly define liabilities of whoever uses IRISBUS produced, controlled, supplied
and delivered chassis (for passenger vehicles).
Obviously, if problems arise due to transportation, lack of materials and transit, IRISBUS will fully
acknowledge and take its own liabilities, as provided for in the regulation.
The following paragraphs deal with various issues, namely:
D chassis acceptance
D checkout/overhaul
D routine tuning up (RTU before delivery)
D coupons
D warehouse maintenance
1.7
CHASSIS ACCEPTANCE
The Body maker receiving a chassis from IRISBUS or a distributor shall perform a preliminary
overhaul on the chassis acceptance, directly notifying missing parts or damages to the carrier.
This includes checking boxes of materials possibly supplied, compared to the enclosed sheet.
Any remark must be written on the sheet, listing damages and missing parts (See Annex A, Chapter
5), enclosed with the delivery note; then the sheet must be signed by the carrier for acceptance.
This delivery note, with the enclosed survey sheet, will be sent to IRISBUS, After Sales
department, which will ask the relevant IRISBUS shop Quality manager to supply the missing
material.
As for in transit damages or missing parts (not notified by IRISBUS), the receiver shall follow the
instructions given in Chapter 5 “Procedures for damages and/or dents on vehicles forwarded to
Body repairers”.
IRISBUS shall not be held liable for missing parts and/or damages detected after the chassis
acceptance; therefore, the Body maker shall borne all repair costs.

1.8
During the delivery stage, the Body maker will perform, directly or by means of the IRISBUS
service network a functional checkout on the chassis, as specified in Annex B, Chapter 5. The
relevant costs shall be fully borne by the Body maker.
This annex lists all checks to be performed on completed vehicles, in order to correct defects
possibly arisen during processing and assess the equipped vehicle overall functionality.
Any defect or fault detected in the chassis mechanical members shall be notified by writing,
according to the Body maker testing procedures, to the local After Sales department manager
which, having seen the fault, shall choose whether to apply the RTU (routine tuning up) corrective
intervention at an IRISBUS servicing branch shop.
The costs for servicing interventions covered by the warranty shall be refunded according to the
IRISBUS current procedures.
At the end of these operations, the vehicle shall be considered as delivered in all respects, faultless
and ready to use.
1.9
1.9.1
IRISBUS direct sale
RTU must be performed by the IRISBUS servicing network (Servicing organization or a
distributor).
a)

maker RTU, on the distributor request, can be performed at a local authorized workshop, which
will charge the cost to the distributor who sold the vehicle; the latter shall recover according to
the IRISBUS procedures.
NOTE: It is understood that the above mentioned procedure is not inclusive of payments for
works on the chassis, concerning the functionality of both components added by the Body maker
(air conditioning , etc.) and parts and equipment already existing on the chassis and used by the
Body maker (relays, electric system control boards, etc.).
1.10

1.11
(Equipped vehicles and chassis)
In order to keep in good condition and operation new equipped vehicles and chassis used by
Body repairers which must be stored in the warehouse for a given time, a maintenance schedule
has been defined, from storage to final delivery to the client.
As for vehicles stored in areas under direct IRISBUS liability, several warehouse maintenance
procedures have already been enforced, at predefined intervals.
Remember that, as soon as the goods are taken under our sales network (complete vehicles) or
external Body repairers (passenger vehicle chassis) liability, these shall be held responsible for the
proper maintenance. They shall act so as to ensure vehicles are delivered in the best functional
and aesthetic conditions.

Transportation of the chassis without bodywork should always be carried out on low flat
platform semi-trailers.
2.2.1
To load the chassis on ships, train, cars, etc., it must be hoisted only by the axles or wheels.
Fixing the crane cables to the cross-pieces and chassis members is strictly forbidden. The chassis
must be secured on the transportation vehicle only by the axles. The wheels must support the
chassis weight.
2.3
2.3.1
Delivery
IRISBUS carries out a thorough quality assurance procedure on every chassis before delivery.
However, upon reception, the Bodywork builder should check for anomalies that might have
occurred during transportation. IVECO shall not be held responsible for missing materials or
anomalies during transportation or after delivery if said problems are not noted on the forms
supplied to that end, and that the road haulier has signed in conformity.
In order to fill the complaint forms correctly, the Bodywork builder must observe section 1.6 of
”After sales rules for Bodywork builders” (see Chapter 1). For any complaint, the vehicle
identification number, stamped on the core of the right chassis member, in front of the pneumatic
spring support must be quoted.
See Figure 2.1.

Storage
Once the delivery check has been carried out, should the vehicle be stored, it is necessary to
protect it adequately, taking into account the immobilization period and the ambient
characteristics.
It is the Bodywork builder’s responsibility to protect the delicate components- instrument panel,
batteries, relay and fuse box, etc.- so as to ensure their long useful life and reliability.
Observe section 1.11 ”Maintenance of vehicles in stock”.

Weighing
Bodywork design, seat layout and luggage compartment location should not exceed preset
maximum loads. Weighing should be carried out by the axle and with gross weight.
Due to factory-set tolerances, weight specifications can be subject to a ± 5% tolerance. This
tolerance should be taken into account for all specification values.

Both the wheelbase and the bodied vehicle rear overhang can be modified within the values
specified in the installation dimension layouts so as to best adapt the bodywork to the chassis.

2.5.1
See the instructions on chassis operations allowed by IRISBUS on the corresponding sections.
Besides the allowed operations, expressly specified on the present Standard, any other
modification must be performed with written permit by IRISBUS Bus Quality Department.
Modifying the steering and the braking systems is strictly forbidden.
To get IRISBUS approval for chassis modification, the Bodywork builder must submit due
documentation justifying the change project. Documentation should include:
D List of all removed parts.
D List of all the modified and/or added parts, specifying quantity.
D Plans of each of the modified and/or added parts, specifying:
shape, dimensions, tolerances, material, heat treatment, surface protection, reference to
standards or other specifications they should comply with.
D Exploded view, with mounting position for each part.
D Descriptive memory, including dimension calculations and possible test results.

The parts removed from the chassis should be adequately stored, protected and identified.
The chassis must be on level ground before assembling the body. Engine weight should be taken
away from the chassis until bending deformations on the latter are less than 3 mm.
Figure 2.3 shows levelling measurements for the front and rear axles, and the chassis member
bending deformation tolerance.
The chassis must remain in this position until the assembly welding process is completed.

*NOTE: These measurements are given dead load
conditions. The chassis, levelled with the
bellows at 270 ± 2 and 295 ± 2, and the
vehicle without load will be higher because
the radius of the tyre under load is greater
due to the fact that it lacks the dead load
weight.
Special attention should be taken so that the chassis elements and bodywork sides are correctly
attached. These unions should guarantee perfect stress transmission.
These unions are specially critical at the front and rear elements of the wheelhouses, since stress
transmission to the rest of the structure happens mainly through these points.
Excessive pressure at the body union points should be avoided.
Body structure should be so conceived that it forms a bearing unit together with the chassis;
bending, torsion and thrust stresses should be absorbed by the whole unit.
This is necessary due to the relative flexibility of the chassis. For further information, contact
IRISBUS Bus Quality Department.
Bodywork can be welded or screwed to the structure. The use of both assembly systems at the
same time is not recommended.
Bodywork elements shall be fixed by means of intermediate plates.

It is important to protect the following parts against heat, weld spatter and grinding / drilling
ejected particles:
D Instrument panel
D Steering wheel.
D Electrical installation.
D Polyamide pipes.
D Pneumatic springs.
D Rubber sleeves, etc.
If required, these parts should be detached from the welding or grinding area and eventually
replaced to their original location once the operation is finished.
The welder earth cable should be connected as close to the welding area as possible but never
close to any rotating part (transmission, bushings, etc.) nor above or below a component with
moving parts (compressor, bearings, etc.).
Welding surfaces should be clean and paint-free in order to guarantee a good penetration.
The places in the chassis where welding procedures were carried out should be carefully cleaned
and protected with a primer containing zinc tetraoxichromate or similar, and a second coat of a
two-component epoxy primer plus an IRISBUS IC-444 (RAL 7021) chassis grey, two-component
polyurethane paint.

The welding seams on beams subject to flexion should be as close to the neutral axis as possible
and should be parallel to the stress direction.
Abrupt section changes and seam accumulation should be avoided.
The welded material should have a good root bead penetration, and show no pores, notches, weld
spatter or slag inclusions.
No special means should be used to cool down welded areas. Welding quality should be CS/BK
complying with DIN 8563 - Part 3.

Tack welding
Tack welding should guarantee a strong attachment between parts; dimension and distribution
will be according to the stress level to be transmitted.
Before welding, the contact surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned. After welding, they should be
protected with a coat of two-component epoxy rust inhibitor or similar product; finishing with
a coat of one- or two-component paint.

CHASSIS DRILLING
Chassis drilling aimed at fixing auxiliary units or components is allowed under the following
conditions:
D Never drill the wings of the chassis members, free beams and cross-pieces.
D Never drill near the areas of greater stress, i.e. near power-steering, suspension and engine
supports.
D Never drill on the chassis member curved areas.
D Drilling minimum diameter will be equal to plate thickness whereas maximum diameter
should not exceed 15 mm.
D The minimum distance between the bore centre and the chassis member outer edge should
be 35 mm.
D The minimum distance between bore centres should be 50 mm.
D Only a maximum of two holes can be drilled along a perpendicular line to the chassis
member.
D After drilling, burr should be removed, so that the parts assembled or the screw heads will
have a perfectly flat contact surface.
See figure 2.10 showing the relative location of holes.

The wheelhouse lateral cover should be hinged to allow inspection and maintenance operations
for the pneumatic springs.
2.7.2
The bodywork should include a bulkhead separating the wheels from the pneumatic springs,
so that these are protected against sand, mud or stones. The bulkhead will leave a free diameter
of 350 mm around the spring and should allow easy access for inspection and maintenance
operations for the pneumatic springs and other suspension components.
2.7.3
Wheels and tyres
When fitting the wheels, contact surfaces should be clean and rust-free.
If the rims or brake drums need painting, the contact surfaces between them should be protected,
as should the contact surfaces between the rims and the wheel nuts.
Before delivery to customer, wheel nut tightening should be checked (in case they have been
removed) applying the correct tightening procedures and torque shown in the ”Use and
maintenance manual”. See section 2.18.

covers, Ref. 5006229005 (x2) for both caps.
The shape and dimension of such parts are suitable to adequately protect the wheel nuts and cool
the brakes, and they should be used if hub-caps are used.
Caps are included if optional 2300 or 2309 ”aluminium rims” are fitted.
The use of any other cap will void the warranty and will place the responsibility for any braking
problems that may arise on the bodywork builder.

Engine air intake
The chassis is delivered complete with air filter and pipe lines from the filter to the intercooler
and from the latter to the engine. Filter position should be preserved for easy cartridge
replacement and name plate reading. Special care should be taken to prevent water and dust from
getting inside the air inlet. The air inlet should have:
D External grid. With horizontal louvers to keep water out.
Located on the side of the vehicle, as high as possible.
Its minimum effective area will be 300 cm2.
D Decantation chamber. Fitted between the inlet and the filter; it drains out water and dust.
The communication pipe between this chamber and the grid will have a minimum section
of 300 cm2, the same as the internal passages inside the chamber. At the bottom, the
chamber will have a ? 15 mm hole that will allow settled water and dust to drain. From the
chamber outlet up to the filter, there will be a pipe line with the same diameter as that of
the filter inlet. If section changes were necessary, a 30˚ conical coupling should be used for
minimal pressure drop. Bends and section changes should be avoided. If they were
unavoidable, increase section to reduce their effect. See relative position on figure 2.15.

The internal walls of the chamber and the ducts should be varnished. The chamber interior should
be soundproof to avoid intake noise.
Never replace the air filter with another of a different make or type, unless there is written permit
by IRISBUS Bus Quality Department.
A written permit by the IRISBUS Bus Quality Department is needed to modify the pipe line.
In order to obtain such permit, a modification project should be submitted -according to section
2.5.1- to get the type approval from IRISBUS Bus Engineering. If required, tests will be carried out
-at customer’s expense- to guarantee engine correct operation.

Steering
The steering gearbox should be accessible for maintenance, adjustment, and oil topping up,
bleeding and drainage operations. It is therefore important that the relay and fuse box be located
so that it is easily accessible and/or removable. Power steering fluid reservoir should also be easily
accessible to allow topping up, level checking and filter cartridge change. There should be a
minimum distance of 30 mm between the bodywork and the steering moving parts, in all rotating
positions to right and left, taking into account the extreme suspension positions.
According to point 2.5.1, it is strictly prohibited to actuate on any element that could modify the
steering column stresses, or that could result in any effect not within current legislation

The inlet compartment should be perfectly tight, with rubber gaskets preventing hot air
recirculation. The gaskets should stand, without getting deformed or worn, a constant
temperature of 100 ˚C and temperatures of 120 ˚C for short periods. The compartment should
ensure efficient airflow all along the duct.
Hot air outlet should be through a grid, located on the highest section of the engine compartment
and it should have a minimum section of 2,000 cm2.
If a heating equipment is installed in the passenger compartment or pipes are modified, this should
not affect the cooling system efficiency. In this case, cooling circuit operation should be checked
taking into account filling, deaeration / water circulation, as follows:
D Open heating system feeding cocks and heater breathers.
D With engine off, top-up the water circuit with a constant flow of 8 - 10 l/min, and close the
heater breathers once they are air-purged.
D Start the engine and leave it running at idle speed for 5 minutes. Once this time has elapsed,
the water level in the feeding reservoir should not have decreased beyond minimum.
D Gradually, rev up the engine, checking that the pressure on the water pump outlet pipe
increases gradually and without pressure pulses.
D Keep the engine revved up, until the thermostat opens, checking there are air bubbles
passing through the transparent pipes installed between:
. engine outlet and radiator;
. filling reservoir and water pump;
. engine deaerator and filling reservoir.
D 15 minutes after thermostat opening, there should be no bubbles in the circuit.
D With open thermostat and idling engine, the pressure measured at the water pump outlet
should be above 500 mm of water flow.

Relays, fuses and connexions box must be so fitted that it can be opened at its hinged fittings
for maintenance and fitting operations. The relays and fuses box nor the installations can be altered
without written consent by Irisbus Bus Quality Department.
The circuit board features two connectors for bodywork services linked to the chassis installation,
see point 2.19.3.
If a new connexion not specified in point 2.19.3 is needed, it must be asked in written to the Quality
Department, which will process this request. The bodywork electrical installation, however, must
not be tampered with in order to obtain the signal needed.
2.8.15.2 Electronic control units
The electronic control units supplied onto a transporting plate on the right side of the vehicle
must be assembled over a rigid and conductive (not varnished) surface in a cabinet inside the hold,
placed in an area near the front axle, and it must comply with the ambient conditions specified for
the (SPR1) instrument panel combined unit.
There should be a physical union between the metal plate and the vehicle earth connection, as
short as possible, with a 20mm metal mesh, and along its path, it should be as close as possible
to the crossing surfaces to avoid static.
Temperature - 40˚C a +70˚C, acceleration +/-2g
The control unit wiring harnesses should not be modified.
2.8.15.3 Fitting the CAN line
The CAN line is a data transmission installation among every electronic unit in the vehicle.
This wiring is different from any other because it has a protective bellowed sheath in a different
colour. A bipolar wire, made up of two twisted conductors with a specific number of loops per
metre. It must be at least 10 cm away from any other wiring.
2.8.15.4 Safety
The end-of-stroke switch, provisionally in the engine compartment area, must be fitted
permanently so it can change status when the boot is open.
The purpose of activating this circuit is to prevent starting the engine from the driver’s seat,

2.15.1
Introduction
To guarantee a long duration of the bodywork, the anticorrosive treatment is essential. Avoid
diminishing structural pipe sections with thin walls, profiles, sheet, etc.
Applying this anticorrosive treatment should not adversely affect the chassis componentspolyamide piping, electrical wiring harnesses, valves, etc.
2.15.2
Bear the following points in mind:
D
D
D
D
Avoid the points where water, dust and dirt can form deposits.
Generally the pipe ends must be plugged.
In open profiles, the opening must be facing downwards.
In closed profiles and in all bodywork hollows where water can deposit, drill approx. 8-mm
holes, oriented downwards. Avoid blocking these holes when painting or applying the
anticorrosive solution.
Edges, flaps with folds, ribs, ridges, etc. of the external pieces to the structure must be
reinforced so as to facilitate water drainage. Apply suitable sealants where required by the design.
2.15.3
It is compulsory to apply a wax-based anti-corrosion coating to the internal side of the
structural pipes in the following cases:

From windows, downwards.
Door pillars.
Horizontal pipes of the structure.
Chassis areas exposed to the elements.
As an option, polyester foam can be used at the same points. The specifications of this
product must comply with the current health standards.
The auger bits used to inject wax-based products should be covered with plastic caps.
Print 603.93.748
2-45
Base - April 2007
2.15.4
The pipes must be protected externally with a primer.
The areas welded to the sheet plates should be protected with a weldable product.
2.15.5
To insulate and protect against corrosion all the bodywork internal areas, use materials to
render them resistant to chemicals and mechanical wear. For example:
D Roofs
1) Apply of dry primer, from 20 to 30 μm, check bonding periodically.
2) Apply polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene layers.
To provide protection against ejected chips and strange elements, seal the wheelhouses subject
to water splashes, apply an underbody protection anti-corrosion.
To protect the underbody apply an anti-corrosion treatment consisting of a high-density
thixotropic, with a film thickness from 300 to 800 μm.
Special attention should be given to the coupling areas of structural pieces, folded couplings /
weldings, where a non-drying sealing paste with good bonding should be applied.
For applying anti-corrosion products adequately, strictly follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturers.
At the request of the IRISBUS Bus Quality Department, the body maker will provide samples of
the products employed.
2.15.6
One way to guarantee anti-corrosion protection is to use materials offering a good resistance
to corrosion, such as stainless steel, plastic materials, resin-laminated fibreglass, etc. The use of
these materials must be always compatible with the resistance required for each part.
2.15.7
The anti-corrosion coating must pass a corrosion resistance test in a salt fog chamber. Test
duration depends on the type of material and treatment. See Chapter 4.
2.15.8
Battery compartment
The base of the battery compartment must be painted with a high-corrosion resistance
process, see Chapter 4. Applying over it a wax-based coating, 100 μm thick, taking into account
that this will require a periodic maintenance that the Body builder must foresee.
2-46
Base - April 2007
Print 603.93.748
2.15.9
Periodic maintenance is required to render an anti-corrosion treatment effective. The body
builder must provide, with the vehicle, the necessary instructions for this maintenance according
to the bodywork in question.
2.16
BODYWORK PAINTING
To guarantee the quality level IRISBUS wants to ensure for the bodyworks it manufactures, the
processes specified on Chapter 4 should be applied.
2.17
Once the vehicle is finished, the Body builder must ensure that the vehicle complies with all
the noise level specifications required for each case. It is the Body builder’s responsibility to obtain
the type-approval certification for the vehicle, if required.
In order to obtain a high level of internal comfort and to comply with regulations about noise
emissions, it is advisable to proceed as follows.
2.17.1

Soundproofing
The insulation should be as homogeneous and regular as possible, avoiding interruptions.
It is very important that flaps or service doors that communicate the passenger compartment with
the engine, gear, cover areas, etc., are well sealed.
The engine compartment walls can have three insulating elements:
D A)
D B)
Board with an interposed layer of insulating material (Septum or similar).
Heavy mixture, to be fixed to the walls of the compartment metal plate. It will have
a minimum surface weight of 5 kg/m2.
D C) Sound-absorbing material, fixed over the heavy mixture or the structural wall, 30 mm
thick, which must comply with the specifications defined on tables I or II.
The walls of the engine compartment separating it from the outside (side and rear walls) must have
a heavy mixture layer joined directly to the plate and covered with sound-absorbing material as
soundproofing cover. According to definitions B) and C).
For the lower acoustic enclosure, take into account that it should not obstruct the air outlets of
the radiator cooling system. It is advisable that the enclosure only affect the area under the engine
and, if necessary, the right area of the engine. Avoid covering the bottom radiator so that its outlet
is as free as possible.
In case of doubts, request the coating type-approval from the IVECO Bus Engineering Dep., which
will carry out tests, charged to the applicant.
If the walls separating the engine compartment from the vehicle interior are made of board with
Septum, they will be covered with sound-absorbing material on the engine side, according to
definition C). If these walls are very close to the engine (vehicles with a floor level of 800 mm or
less) it may be necessary to include also a heavy mixture under the sound-absorbing material. If
these walls are made of sheet, their coating must be the same as the one described for the walls
separating from the outside in the previous section.
The service doors in the engine compartment must comply with the general specifications defined
for walls.
To cover the floor, the service doors on the floor and openings for doors and steps, it is advisable
to use a 15 mm thick board minimum, with an interposed layer of Septum.
The step hole fixings should not have slots or cracks which allow noise getting in. The same applies
to the area under the doors.
To comply with the 80+1 dBA outdoor noise standard, it may be necessary to cover the lower
part of the engine compartment.
To that end, the Body builder can request the optional ”03590 engine acoustic enclosure” If the
optional feature cannot be used due to bodywork characteristics, you can build your own
enclosure version bearing the following points in mind:
In this case the lower acoustic closure will be made up of:
D Structural part. It must be removable, made of plastic, steel sheet, aluminium
sheet, etc.
D Heavy mixture with a thickness depending on the mass of the structural material so that
both together make up a minimum surface density of 10 kg/m2.
D 15mm-thick sound-absorbing material which complies with the specifications on tables I
or II.
This material must also be protected against potential fluid leakage coming from the engine
(oils, diesel fuel, coolant).
Print 603.93.748

Base - April 2007
For the lower acoustic enclosure take into account that:
D It should not obstruct the air outlets of the radiator cooling system.
D It should not interfere with the discharge pipe of the engine deareator.
D It should have a bore with an approximate diameter of 150 mm to access the engine oil
outlet. This bore will be generally covered with an aluminium cap with an internal coating
of sound-absorbing material, easy to use when draining engine oil, and holes with a diameter
of 25 mm to drain fluids.
Find below a list of materials with soundproofing characteristics which have been tested at IRISBUS
laboratories. Using these materials guarantees the specified results will be obtained.
All the materials used must comply with the specifications at point 2.14.4., regarding fire
protection. Make sure that the elements fixing the insulating or sound-absorbing materials are
durable enough, will not become detached and touch hot parts or moving components. It is
advisable the use of good quality adhesives or metal meshes or other retaining devices.

2.17.4
Thermal insulation
The most critical points from the point of view of thermal insulation are the points where
operating temperature is higher:
Turbo, manifold and exhaust pipes, silencer and the electrical retarder rotors.
When an organic material element of the bodywork is so close to one of these critical points as
to reach a temperature higher than the admissible one, protect such part by means of a layer of
insulating felt covered with an aluminium sheet able to endure a set temperature of 250 ºC and
a maximum conduction coefficient of 0.1 W/mºK. In any case, the minimum distance between a
critical point and the insulation will be 80 mm at least.
When the available space is limited, especially to protect the polyamide piping and the electrical
wiring harnesses, it is advisable to shield them by means of an aluminium plate with sandwich
insulation. The plate must have a conduction coefficient equivalent to the felt coefficient value.
Between the protected component and the shield there must be a minimum distance of 20mm.
See section 2.14.4.
In order to keep a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle, the sound insulating material
located in the gear and engine compartment must have a minimum conduction coefficient of 0,08
W/mºK and a minimum operating temperature of 85ºC. The correct arrangement of the
soundproofing-thermal insulating material must cover all the distance surface between the engine
compartment and the interior, also covering steps, walls and any other surface which may let heat
in.
In areas that do not require sound insulation, such as the area close to the electrical retarder,
insulation with polyurethane foam with similar characteristics to the ones described before is
allowed.
Some points are not critical from the point of view of heat transmission, but must be taken into
account to keep them away from the bodywork components or installations which can be
damaged by an excessive temperature. The most important are:
air duct from turbo to intercooler, air compressor and outlet pipe, crankcase and engine block,
coolant pipes.
2.17.5
Vehicle insulation for cold weather conditions must guarantee that the engine cooling water
temperature must not drop below 80ºC under regular operation.
The thermostat integrated to the heating circuit, with an triggering temperature of 68º ± 2ºC
ensures correct engine operation. In cold weather it may be necessary to close the engine
compartment in order to keep heat for heating. Closing the compartment must be done according
to figures 2.32 and 2.33 and consists of the following insulation areas:
− Side Walls.
− Rear.
− Division walls of the engine compartment inside the vehicle.
− Lower closing. (Acoustic Enclosure D in figures 2.32 y 2.33).
− Front Wall. Its arrangement must show a 30 mm clearance approximately with the change in
order to allow the engine suspension movements.
Both materials and their arrangement must comply with the specifications in sections 2.17.3.
(Those insulations which also act as soundproofing) and 2.17.4 in all cases.
It is advisable that the insulating panels be partially movable so that they can be removed to facilitate
engine cooling in summer.
Print 603.93.748
2-53
Base - April 2007
If the engine works with less than 80ºC or the water for heating is not enough despite the
insulation, a pre-heater should be installed (pre-heater fitting mandatory when the vehicle works
regularly at a temperature below 0ªC) Figure 2.34 shows the recommended fitting layout; always
follow the instructions of the pre-heater manufacturer; in case of any doubt, contact IVECO The
minimum pre-heater power must be 25000 kcal/hour.
Once the engine insulation is defined, it is necessary to measure its efficiency and to time it,
if required.
Two tests will be carried out; one for the cooling system capacity, the other for the heating
capacity.
Cooling capacity test:
Test conditions
− Engine rpm: 1300 approx.
− Power: maximum at given rpm.
− Duration: enough to stabilize temperatures
− Engine thermostats locked in open position
− Cooling fan with clutch locked so that it is continuously working
− Insulating movable panels in open position.
Measurements:
− Cooling water temperature
WT
− Ambient air temperature
AT
− Engine oil temperature
Eot
− Engine shock mount temperature
EmT
− Engine compart. max. temperature
maxT
Maximum values allowed:
− WT - AT = 65 ºC
− Eot - AT = 90 ºC
− EmT - AT = 45 ºC
− maxT - AT = 55 ºC
Heating test.
Measurement conditions. Motorway and mountain roads combined, with an ambient air
temperature close to the minimum that can be reached give in the weather the vehicle has been
designed for.
Measurements:
Engine water temperature. Temperature inside the passenger compartment.
Values allowed:
engine water temperature must never drop below 80ºC. The internal temperature must never
be below 18 ºC. As a consequence, the heating system will be defined depending on outdoor
working temperature of the vehicle.
After the tests, it may be necessary to time both insulation and the heating system. Increase
heating power or insulation if testing temperatures for the heating system are low, or increase the
air flow and decrease insulation if the temperatures obtained when testing the cooling system are
too high. It is advisable to inform IVECO of the results obtained at the tests and consult about any
possible modifications in timing.

The Body builder must provide a no-voltage contact between paths 15 and 12 of connector
52 A, which will close when either front, rear or central doors are opened. Such contact must
remain open when the doors are closed. If there is no connection in this signal, neither the Stop
brake system nor the accelerator pedal inhibition function will work, with open doors. Besides,
the driver could accidentally enable some ELF function.

2.19.3.23 Doors Opening Inhibition Contact with Started up Vehicle (Input)
A Normally Open contact and a Normally Closed, and No voltage contact are available for the
Body builder, who must include them in the doors opening circuit so that they cannot be
accidentally opened while the vehicle is moving. These contacts operate as follows:
The contact at connector 52 A, path 21 and 22 is managed by the VBC through relay R10. When
the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h, this contact remains open. The contact at connector 52 A, path
21 and 20, is managed by the VBC through relay R10. When the vehicle speed is above 3 Km/h,
this contact remains closed. Over that speed, the contact between paths 21 and 20 of connector
52A remains open, and it should not be possible to open the vehicle doors.
The Body builder must include this contact in the doors opening circuit mounted on the board.
Such contact must never be included in the vehicle external emergency switches. The maximum
current in R10 contacts should be 10 A.

INTRODUCTION
EuroRider Series is offered in two basic versions:
The Bogie chassis, with a 3000 mm wheelbase, adequate to cut the members and add a central
structure, integrated in the bodywork. The complete vehicle wheelbase can be between 5900 mm
and 6900 mm.
Instructions for building a modular bodywork on a Bogie chassis and indications for the Body
builder on the steps to follow so as not to damage the operation of mechanical parts.
2.24
CHASSIS DELIVERY
The vehicle is delivered with a 3000 mm wheelbase, front and rear overhangs in the same
conditions described in previous chapters.
The chassis parts are long enough to allow the modular bodywork with a 6900 mm wheelbase.
2.25
CHASSIS PREPARATION
Unclamp the following elements before cutting the chassis members:
The electrical wiring harnesses, polyamide pipes, accelerator control and gear change cables, and
power steering brake lines. Then remove the clutch operation copper pipes.
This will facilitate later cutting of chassis members and assembly of the cargo hold central area.
2.26
ALIGNMENT
It consists of levelling the chassis through racks (at least four racks for the front module and
other four for the rear module) see Fig. 2.66 and Fig. 2.67.
A - B (the difference between these measurements was not higher than 5 mm).
The levelling heights are specified in section 2.5.2 ”Bodywork mounting - preparation”.
Once it is levelled and before cutting the chassis, make sure it is not twisted and that it is totally
fixed, especially the rear module, which will remain fixed after being cut.
It is possible to use a specially designed alignment and fixing tool instead of racks.

CHASSIS CUTTING
Once the chassis has been properly levelled and fixed, cut the members according to the
minimum measurements indicated in figure 2.69.
The members must be cut in a perpendicular way to the vehicle longitudinal axle, paying special
attention to obtain the same length in both members. Mistakes when cutting the chassis will result
in an incorrect assembly. So, check lengths before proceeding with the following operations,
correcting them if necessary.
Once the cutting is done, move the front module until reaching the distance between axles
specified for the bodied vehicle.
When this position is reached, check the chassis before mounting the structure, verifying its
alignment by means of the four reference points placed in the lower part of the chassis, two in the
front module and two in the rear one, which must be totally aligned, correcting the front module
positioning if necessary. Besides, it is convenient to check that the left and right wheel arches are
equal, as well as dimensions A and B, with a 5 mm maximum difference. See figures 2.66 and 2.67.
In order to verify dimensions A and B correctly it is necessary to place the front wheels in right
wheel position and check that the markings on the steering and lever match. See figure 2.68.
The four reference points shown in detail in figures 2.66 and 2.67 determine the vehicle
longitudinal centre axle.
Once alignment is done, check the front and rear modules levelling, according to the
dimensions specified in section 2.5.2 to fix them. After this, the above alignment must be kept.
Once the correct position of both modules has been ensured, proceed to assembling the central
structure.
The description of the cutting and positioning processes is just indicative. Other methods can
be used, especially through specific positioning tools, provided that correct chassis alignment and
levelling are ensured.

It is advisable to first level and fix the chassis as described above, then mount the central
structure so that it forms a rigid structure, and later cut the members.
2.28
The central structure (cargo hold area) must have a reticular shape, designed and dimensioned
to support bending and torque stresses, optimizing the strength-weight ratio.
All changes of section must be as smooth as possible so as not to cause stress concentrations,
especially in the doors and toilets areas.
The structure profile unions must be made in such a way that they resist stress; the joined profiles
must be of similar thickness. Some support reinforcements to improve stress distribution should
be inserted if necessary. See figure 2.70.

It is also advisable to reinforce those knots where several profiles are joined by means of
connecting gussets See figure 2.71.
Figure 2.71
The correct connection between the central structure and the chassis members is obtained by
closing the member profile, welding a vertical pipe on it, which will be connected to the cargo hold
horizontal pipes, and bracing it with a diagonal element, to join the lower vertex of the central box
to the member. See figure 2.72.

It is advisable to make the remaining structure-chassis joints (especially the stake pockets) as
indicated in figures 2.73 - 2.74 - 2.75 - 2.76, where an optimal transition of sections is obtained
through intermediate reinforces, without specific stresses that may originate cracks due to fatigue.

To hold pipes and single wiring harnesses, a clamp with a rubber protection can be used according
to IVECO EY 11 -0760 standards. All of them are supplied by the Body builder.
The wiring must be made along the cargo hold upper area (alongside the walkway, under the
passenger seats area) so that they can be easily reached without using a pit or elevator, except
for the clutch control pipes, according to section 2.30.5. See figure 2.77.

Fixing points
Pipes mounted on the bus chassis are adequate for the bodywork with complete chassis.
In the case a module transformation has to be made, the central sections of pressure and return
pipes must be released, loosing the respective fittings placed next to crossbars 4 and 7.
The central area will be build by the Body builder, adapting it to the upper part of the cargo hold
mounting.
To do this, he will take out the removed pipes, replacing them with the pipes supplied by the Body
builder, Ref.ª IVECO 9945 5943 ∅ 15 x 12 y 9945 5942 ∅ 19 x 22.
The supplied pipes will be cut according to the necessary length and they will be connected by
means of the fittings supplied as standard equipment, as stated in IVECO STD. 11-4203, 11-4301
and 11-4310.
2.30.2
If some extra cable is left after laying the electrical wiring harnesses, which is long enough to
pass along the cargo hold, it must be coiled and fixed to the chassis so that it cannot be lowered
later.
Connections will be assembled checking that the terminals are firmly fixed to their corresponding
elements.
Make sure there is a compartment to house the batteries together with the disconnection switch,
which must be protected from dust and humidity. These elements should also be easily accessible.

Polyamide pipes are long enough to pass through the cargo hold. The minimum bending
radiuses must be observed when installing them:
Pipe Ø 9x12
Pipe Ø 6x8
Minimum radius 65 mm
Minimum radius 45 mm
The wiring harness must be fixed according to the details in fig.
Figure 2.78
The bending areas must be fixed in such a away the cannot vibrate.
Make sure there is no twisted pipe after mounting. To do this, the connecting fittings can be
loosened, tightening them again once they are in their correct position. They must be retightened
according to the following table:
Nuts M 16 for pipes 9x12
Nuts M 12 for pipes 6x8
Remaining nuts of the connections
Torque 33 ± 2 Nm
Torque 23 ± 2 Nm
Torque 70 Nm
Make sure there is no leaking after retightening them.
These recommendations must be observed for diesel fuel pipes, which are also made of polyamide.
Make sure there is no leaking in the pneumatic installation. To do this, it is important to observe
tightening torque specifications. The complete installation must have a maximum drop of 0.2 bar.
2.30.4
Fuel installation
The same precautions must be taken for fixings and protections as well as for the rest of tecalan
installations (plastic pipes). Pipes diameter dimensions and their lengths must not be modified,
since that can affect the engine correct functioning, varying the expected results according to the
electronic programmed parameters.

In its central area, the clutch control pipes have end fittings to facilitate removing them before
dividing the chassis. After the fitting operation, the Body builder will be able to lengthen the pipes
by adding the sections supplied as standard equipment, connecting them by means of fittings, as
stated in the IVECO STD. 11-4203, 11-4301 and 11-4310.
It is very important that the clutch control pipes installation should be laid in the hold lower area,
unlike the rest of the installations, to ensure drainage and a correct clutch operation. This
installation must be able to be registered to have an easy access to the pipe, unless it consists of
a single piece in its pathway through the cargo hold.

Cables must be protected during the bodywork building process to avoid being burnt out or
damaged when operations are being performed near them.
The vehicle is supplied with the SELECTION and TESTING cables, IRISBUS reference 5006303494
(x2), suitable for most bodywork models.
When a change is made into modular bodywork, the cables should be laid so that the path has
rectilinear sections connected by the slightest bends possible. If there is cable surplus, it must be
absorbed by means of the largest possible radius bends, distributed along the path in the cargo hold
area. It is advisable to lay cables along the lower part of the cargo hold.
Minimum bending radius = 250 mm.
Total maximum angle = 400º (adding all the path angles). It is advisable to lay cables along the lower
part of the cargo hold.
Cables will be independently clamped from the other pipes and wiring harnesses to facilitate
later removal, fastening them on the chassis or fixed parts with clamps similar to the ones
described in section 2.30 ”Mounting the Installations”, trying not to press the cable to avoid its
core easy sliding off.
In the areas between the support tray in the cargo hold and the gearbox or the gear lever, cables
must not remain hanging. To avoid this, use fastening clamps with rubber protection. Due to the
cable distance to the nearest profile, a brace with a fixed clamp to its end will be used to provide
a smoother course, if necessary. See figure 2.80.

Weldability - The Fe 360, Fe 430 and Fe 510 types compliance to normal welding procedures and
applications is guaranteed; however, we recommend to use grain refined, hardened steel rather than
effervescing steel, particularly if welding is supported to reach segregation areas, thus affecting the seam
strength.

PROCEDURES FOR DAMAGES AND/OR DENTS TO
VEHICLES FORWARDED TO BODY REPAIRERS
5.1
GENERAL INFORMATION
5.1.1
The procedure is based on a damage and dents entry sheet, supplied with the vehicle
from the shop to its final destination.
5.1.2
Vehicles are supplied with this sheet when leaving the shop. The person responsible
for the transportation must check for the presence of this sheet or, if missing, require
a duplicate.
5.1.3
Vehicles leaving established parking areas (for example, Villanova) always must have on
board the sheet provided from the shop to the parking area.
5.2
VEHICLE WITHDRAWAL
According to the contractual clauses contained in the order, the delivery to the Body maker
may occur as follows:
1)
Ex shop or ex established parking delivery.
2)
Ex destination delivery.
5.3
EX SHOP OR EX ESTABLISHED PARKING DELIVERY
5.3.1
The person charged by the Body maker of the vehicle withdrawal must check for the
presence of the damage sheet and the vehicle integrity and outfits.
5.3.2
Any damage and dent must be reported to the parking area attendant, then written in
the 1st strip of the sheet (in case of vehicle withdrawn from the shop) or in the 1st
available strip of the same sheet (in case of vehicle withdrawn from the established
parking area) and confirmed by the transferee.
5.3.3
This strip will be given to the transferee, whereas the remaining parts of the document
will remain with the vehicle.
Print 603.93.748
5-5
Base - April 2007
5.3.4
In case of withdrawal from the shop, even if no damages are detected, the first strip
must be struck through and signed by the receiver.
5.3.5
The procedure to be followed in case of damages or dents occurred at the shop has
been provided: in these cases the shop will repair any damage and dent. As for the
established parking area, any damage and dent detected at the vehicle arrival will be
repaired and restored at IRISBUS expense before it is withdrawn or delivered to the

VEHICLE REPAIRING
5.5.1 According to the rule in force between IVECO and the carrier, any damage caused by
the carrier in transit must be divided into the following two categories, according to
their entity:
a)
Small damages, less than £ 63.50. The Body maker can directly repair the damage
without previous communication to the carrier.
b) Damages over £ 63.50. The Body maker must send a repair estimate to the carrier, by
telex or registered mail with return receipt, within 5 workdays following the date of
receipt of the damaged vehicle.
5.5.2 A copy of this estimate must be sent to IVECO COLTRANSPORT, Via delle Cascinette
6, TORINO.
5.5.3 Within 5 workdays following the sending date of the telex or registered mail with return
receipt, the carrier must contact the Body maker; if he wishes to avail himself, for the
vehicle, of his insurance company he must send a copy to COLTRANSPORT; otherwise,
the repair will be meant as authorized.
5.5.4 Once the repair is made, the Body maker must make out a debit note to the carrier,
V.A.T. free according to DPR 633/72 article 15, 2nd comma, enclosing all the necessary
receipts (damage sheet copy, failure reports, third party workshop invoices) and
sending a copy of all documents to IVECO COLTRANSPORT, Via delle Cascinette 6,
TORINO.
5.5.5 When sending the estimate telex, the Body maker will ask the carrier if he is interested
in withdrawing the rejected parts which, in case of affirmative answer, will be available
for a maximum of 45 days from this communication date.
5.5.6 After 45 days, if the carrier has not withdrawn the parts he was interested in, these will
be scrapped at the Body maker expense, without any payment pro carrier.

VEHICLE DELIVERY TO THE SHOP AFTER EQUIPPING
5.6.1
Delivery at the Body maker expense
At the vehicle arrival, the Conformity department will perform the checkout, together with
the driver committed by the Body maker. Any damage/dent will be reported in the 1st available
strip of the damage sheet. The transferee and the receiver will sign in the relevant spaces and the
Conformity department will give the corresponding strip to the transferee.
As for the damage estimation, the Conformity department will draft an estimate for repairs over
£ 63.50, timely sending it to IVECO COLTRANSPORT, so that the information can be sent within
5 workdays after the date of receipt of the vehicle.
The Body maker has the right to subject the vehicle to a survey. To do so, he must inform
IVECO COLTRANSPORT within 5 workdays after the sending date of the telex or registered mail
with return receipt.
If no answer will be received within the set time, the repair will be meant as authorized.
Repair or restoration will be performed at the shop Conformity department expense, which will
transfer the relevant documents to the administration office, so that the debit note can be made
out at the Body maker expense.
The amount of this note will be deducted as a compensation for the payments still due to the Body
maker.
5.6.2
Vehicle delivery by IVECO-established carrier
As specified in the previous item; also in this case, IVECO will pay the damage/dent as a
compensation for the payments still due to the Body maker.
5.6.3
Vehicle delivery to the Body maker workshop
If during the test stage damaged vehicles are found out, these will not be delivered and the Body
maker must proceed to the scheduled delivery by performing the relevant repair or restoration
at his own expense.
The vehicle may be withdrawn at the Body maker workshop:
by the client who must receive an integer vehicle; by an IRISBUS carrier, which will deliver it to
the shipment place or the final client; also in this case the Body maker must guarantee the vehicle
integrity. Obviously, the carrier, at withdrawal, must perform the routine vehicle tests, according
to the procedure described at 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 items.
