General Information 1.1 General Information Natural gas is a mixture that consists essentially of methane (main component), ethane, propane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. To make it more recognisable, an odorising agent (THT) is added to give it its characteristic smell of sulphur. The composition of natural gas may vary considerably, so as a consequence its chemical - physical characteristics may also present perceptible differences. Natural gas is compressed in cylinders for transport and use on the vehicle; hence its name of CNG, Compressed Natural Gas. The CNG versions of the Eurocargo differ from the other specific solutions applied to some of the engine components through the special electronic management and the presence on the chassis of the canisters and piping. The Fitter must therefore bear in mind the increased technical complexity, both when studying the conversion and above all during its execution. ! NOTE The highly flammable nature of the compressed gas does not allow the vehicles to be fitted out or converted for fire fighting purposes or for use in potentially critical environments (for example: airports, refineries, etc.) IVECO designs, homologates and builds CNG vehicles in compliance with Regulation ECE 110 currently in force. Operations to the engine fuel system that involve different components to those homologated by IVECO (even if they have been homolgated by an Independent Technical Unit) involve the vehicle having to undergo rehomologation. The financial costs of the rehomologation must be borne by the Fitter. Operations to the engine fuel system that alter the original structure (for example: moving or adding canisters, the type of canister fastening) should be subject to approval by IVECO. General Information Printed 603.95.141 Base - 11/2010 1-4 Guidelines and specifications EUROCARGO CNG Safety Rules 1.2 Safety Rules 1.2.1 During refuelling • The gas is usually compressed to 200 bar during refuelling. Small amounts of natural gas may be released during this operation. The cooling that follows its rapid decompression may cause frostbite symptoms if it comes into contact with the skin. Wear protective gloves during refuelling. • Do not smoke, handle open flames or flammable lights. • Before filling the pressurized gas system, check that it has no visible defects. • Vehicles to be refuelled must be blocked to prevent them from moving. The engine must be off and the ignition key must be extracted from the switch. • Keep fire extinguishers of suitable class (class A, B, C) with other fire extinguishing devices at hand. Class C fire extinguishers are particularly suitable for methane. • Avoid releasing the content of cylinders or pressurized gas pipes into the atmosphere. 1.2.2 ! In the event of leaks If there are leaks, there is the DANGER OF EXPLOSION so it is important to not only follow all the rules set out by the law and competent authorities, to but also observe the following safety rules. • Close the shut-off taps on the gas cylinders, the refuelling pump and the refuelling station tank. • Switch off the main switch of the electric system of the building or refuelling area. • Block access to the hazardous area and have unauthorized people move away from the area. • Promptly notify the competent authorities and ask for a restoration operation. • Ventilate the entire surrounding environment thoroughly. 1.2.3 In case of fire • Do not extinguish the flame; if possible, cool the object that has caught fire. • Close the cylinder cocks and the cocks on the filling risers and tanks. BURNING GAS = GAS UNDER CONTROL • If the flames spread to the surrounding environment, proceed in the usual manner with fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire. Immediately remove the vehicles from the immediate surroundings from the danger zone. • In the case of fire, promptly inform the local FIRE BRIGADE and proceeding with the fire extinguishing operations. • Rescue the injured immediately. Rescue operation come before fire extinguishing. • Switch off the main switch of the electric system of the building or refuelling area. Safety Rules Base - 11/2010 Printed 603.95.141 EUROCARGO CNG Guidelines and specifications 1-5 Operations on the system 1.3 Operations on the system 1.3.1 Main components Tank The gas tank consists of a set of cylinders housed in an appropriate structure secured to the frame. The number of cylinders and their capacity and installation position depends on the vehicle version. See paragraph 1.4 for further specific information on the cylinders. Figure 1.1 149724 1. Tank - 2.. VBE safety and shutoff valves VBE safety and shutoff valves A valve unit (2, Figure 1.1) is fitted on each canister (1, Figure 1.1) that incorporates the devices listed below: • Manual closure for maintenance and separation. • Single-acting solenoid valve dependent on the ignition, which interrupts the flow entering the canister therefore pressurizing should take place when the solenoid valves are not supplied. • Flow limiting valve which intervenes, in the case of a sharp variation in pressure, severely restricting the flow of gas out of the canisters (for example, if one of the pipes breaks). • Fuse pad which, in the case of a fire, melts at 103 ± 10 ºC and allows the escape of gas outwards, directly and securely, preventing the canister from exploding. Operations on the system Printed 603.95.141 Base - 11/2010 1-6 Guidelines and specifications EUROCARGO CNG The valves are the VBE type, with a tapered attachment thread and they are designed for 70 litre, 80 litre and 140 litre steel canisters, respectively. NOTE The valves are not interchangeable. NOTE If one of the flow limiting valves or solenoid valves is not working, this may be deceptive as far as the effective pressurizing status of the canisters is concerned. With this in mind, consult the solenoid valve checking and replacement procedures in paragraphs 1.3.3 and 1.3.4. Shut off/check valves A manual cock (cut-off valve) is present upstream of the system to prevent gas entering when the engine is off .This cock must be closed before any maintenance operation on the components upstream (e.g.: pressure reducing valve, engine). Pipes All pipes are in annealed stainless steel (316 AISI or 304 AISI), with hardness HRB > 80 (ASTM A269) and without welds. CNG filling plant: Filler pipe • External diameter 10 mm or 8 mm depending on optional equipment. • Stainless steel fittings with twing seal (Figure 1.2, page 1-7). Pipes connecting manifold to VBE cylinder valves • Pipes of external diameter 10 mm. • Fittings with nose (Figure 1.3, page 1-7). Pipes connecting VBE safety valves • Pipes of external diameter 6 mm. • Fittings with nose (Figure 1.3, page 1-7). The CNG pipes are mounted to the vehicle’s chassis with metal brackets or mounts. A rubber or PVC spacer is usually fitted between the mount and the pipe; this must be in good condition at all times to prevent metal/metal contact. ! For safety reasons, both during fitting out and maintenance, the use of gas pipes as fastenings for other pipes IS PROHIBITED. In special cases, where space is limited, the electrical cables only can be fastened to the gas pipes (using PVC bands) as long as they have a guiding and not supporting function. Take great care during maintenance operations to ensure that the pipes are not damaged and that they have no scratches, grooves, cuts or distortions, visible to the naked eye. If necessary, the pipes should be suitably protected.

Observe the following warnings when carrying out operations that are involve fuel system components. • Before any operation, close the taps on the solenoids of each gas cylinder, then start the engine and leave running until all the gas in the lines has been used up and the engine stalls. • Make sure the parts are cleaned, ensuring that no sludge or foreign bodies enter during handling and installation. For this purpose, the protective caps on the components and sensors must be removed only right before positioning. • The assembly order must be followed in all electrical connections. • The components of the feed system cannot be overhauled; if they are inefficient, replace them. • Minor components must be replaced and systematically restored to their original positions in accordance with the original installation sequence. ! After replacing a valve or after any operation on the high pressure section of the system, a HYDRAULIC SEAL TEST must be carried out at 300 bar. This test must be carried out by IVECO Aftersales Service, which will issue an inspection certificate if the vehicle passes. Operations on the system Base - 11/2010 Printed 603.95.141 EUROCARGO CNG 1.3.3 ! Guidelines and specifications 1-9 Emptying the gas system Before important operations on the vehicle (e.g.: welding operations) or maintenance operations on the engine, the gas system must be flushed with air. Draining of the pipes alone is usually sufficient. In some cases, however ,it could be necessary to drain the entire system (including cylinders). The decision depends on the importance and type of operation to be carried out but if uncertain, always opt for the safest solution, i.e. draining down the full system. If there are no problems with the system (e.g.: leaks) it is preferable to let the gas run out by leaving the engine running. If pressure in the system is lower than 20 bar, correct fuel metering can no longer be guaranteed. The engine must only be run at idle speed to prevent damage to the catalytic converter. ! The drainage manoeuvres must be carried out with the engine off and in the open in an area without any spark sources within a radius of at least 5 metres around the vehicle. Operations on the system Printed 603.95.141 Base - 11/2010 1-10 Guidelines and specifications EUROCARGO CNG 1.3.3.1 Partial emptying procedure Figure 1.4 138255 ! This operation only guarantees the ventilation of the system downstream of the canisters. Therefore it is vital to make sure that no work is carried out within a distance of 5 metres of the canisters, that could produce sparks (welding, cutting, grinding, drilling) or that involves the use of equipment with an electrical power supply or that uses naked flames. To partially discharge the circuit, proceed as follows: • shut off power to the vehicle’s electrics at the master power switch; • disconnect the battery cables; • ground the vehicle; • check that the cocks (1) on all cylinders are closed; • connect a rubber pipe (compatible with methane) to vent valve outlet (4) to dissipate the gas, the free end of the pipe must be at least 5 m from any potential spark source; • slowly open the ventilation valve (3) taking care to avoid rapid decompression, which could cause local freezing; • check that pressure gauge (2) is reading zero circuit pressure. NOTE If there is a second group of canisters, the previous operations should be repeated on it. Operations on the system Base - 11/2010 Printed 603.95.141 EUROCARGO CNG Guidelines and specifications 1-11 1.3.3.2 Total drainage After partial draining, total draining of the system also requires ventilation of the cylinders by removing the moving parts in each VBE valve. Before carrying out this operation, proceed as follows: • remove the guard (5, Figure 1.4) from each cylinder unit; • close vent valve (3, Figure 1.4); • check that the cocks (1, Figure 1.4) on all cylinder solenoids are closed; • remove the mobile equipment (plunger) from the solenoid as described below. VBE solenoid valve plunger extraction Figure 1.5 117660 • Disconnect the electrical connection from the coil. • Unscrew the outer nut of coil (1) with its O-Ring (2). Figure 1.6 117661 • With a screwdriver (1), stop rotation of the threaded pin (4) and use tool (2) to remove the nut (3) fastening the coil (5). Remove the coil (5) from the sleeve (6).

A small amount of high-pressure gas will remain in the valve. To prevent damage to the operator, it is advisable to decrease the pressure by slowly unscrewing ring nut (2) from the coil sleeve (1). • With no residual pressure, proceed with the disassembly procedure and remove the coil holder sleeve (1) with its O-Ring (3). Figure 1.8 149720 • Remove the piston (5) with shutter (4) and the spring (2) from the coil holder sleeve (1) being very careful not to misplace the pin (3) fastening the shutter to the piston. • Fasten the empty coil holder sleeve with its o-ring (6) and fasten the ring nut at a torque of 28 Nm. • Repeat the operations on all the VBE valves of the cylinders. Operations on the system Base - 11/2010 Printed 603.95.141 EUROCARGO CNG Guidelines and specifications 1-13 Ventilation • Half-open the cocks on the valves (1, Figure 1.4). ! This operation ensures that pressurised gas enters the pipes: for this reason, exercise maximum caution. • Slowly open vent valve (3, Figure 1.4). ! During this operation, cooling due to fast decompression could cause freezing. Take particular care. • Check that pressure gauge (2, Figure 1.4) indicates zero pressure in the system and ensure that it is not possible to start the engine. Where it is not necessary to replace the VBE valve after draining down the system fully, the previously removed parts that have been set aside can be refitted (or replaced if necessary), proceeding as described in the next paragraph.

If necessary, perform the checks described in the chapter ”VBE valve functional inspections and servicing” and replace the coil, if needed. • Fit the washer (4, Figure 1.7) and the coil (4, Figure 1.11) on the sleeve (1, Figure 1.7). • Screw in inner nut (3) securing coil (4) and tighten to 8 Nm. • Screw in nut (1) with a new o-ring (2) and tighten to a torque of 7 Nm. • Connect the electrical connection to the coil (4). • Repeat the previous operations on all VBE valves of the cylinders. 1.3.4 VBE solenoid valve replacement Removal NOTE ! The VBE valves can be removed following a failure or during the regular overhauling of the canisters. The valves that have been removed cannot be reused therefore they should always be replaced, whatever the reason they have been removed. It is advisable to scrap them straight after they have been removed. Before disconnecting the solenoid valves, the system must be completely drained following the procedure described in the “Emptying the gas system” chapter. Figure 1.12 138256 • Remove the screws (1) and remove the cover (2). Operations on the system Printed 603.95.141 Base - 11/2010 1-16 Guidelines and specifications EUROCARGO CNG Figure 1.13 6 5 7 149722 • Loosen the fittings (1 and 3) and disconnect the pipes (2 and 4) from the VBE valve fittings (5). • Disconnect the electrical connection (7) from the coil (6). Figure 1.14 138259 • Use tool 99355018 (2) to loosen and remove the VBE valve (1) from the cylinder (3). Refitting Reverse the removal sequence to refit and observe the following precautions: • the VBE valve protective caps must not be removed to avoid damage to the valve during assembly. The use of percussion pneumatic screw runners or of any other tool which could deform the valve body and compromise functionality must be avoided. • if the cylinder is off-vehicle, secure the cylinder preferably in vertical position with the collar facing upwards. • fasten the threading of the valve seat with 2-3 layers of Teflon. • tighten the valve, by hand, through several turns. Then, using the special spanner 99355018 (2) together with a torque wrench, tighten to a torque of 270 ±10 Nm. NOTE In this operation, make sure that tool 99355018 (2), does not damage the VBE valve thermal fuse device. Operations on the system Base - 11/2010 Printed 603.95.141 EUROCARGO CNG 1.3.5 Guidelines and specifications 1-17 Repairs on pipes and unions CNG fuel pipe assembly instructions • Apply 5 turns of teflon on the free threads of the tapered unions before assembling. • Themetal pipe will be inserted into the corresponding union without slackening or removing the ring nut to prevent the noses from falling. • The check to ensure that the pipe is correctly positioned in the connector is carried out using a suitable gauge. • The tightening torque of the M12x1 threads is 25 Nm. • The tightening torque of the 1/4 G threads is 30 Nm. • The tightening of the ring nuts of the unions must be done by hand applying a torque of: - for pipe Ø 12x1.5 = 60 - 65 Nm - for pipe Ø 10x1 = 40 - 45 Nm equivalent to 1 + 1/4 turns - for pipe Ø 6x1 = 18 - 20 Nm } System with tapered nose double connectors If leaks of gas are noticed from the pipe or the connectors, the complete pipe has to be replaced. The pipe is not supplied with connectors (Figure 1.2, page 1-7) so they will have to be obtained separately. • Undo the unions from the parts requiring connection with the pipe and apply the new ones. The unions are supplied assembled and ready for use. • Check the condition of the pipe and fit it to the unions, making sure it is fully inserted. To avoid prestressing, always check the alignment of the end of the pipe with the unions. • Screw the unions’ nuts down hand tight. Mark the position of the nut relative to the union body. • Use two wrenches working in opposite directions to tighten the nut down a turn and a half. This compresses the cone pack and crimps the pipe. • Fit the brackets making sure not to stress the pipe. ! Before restoring system operation, have a HYDRAULIC LEAK TEST carried out at an IVECO Afersales Service centre. Connection of connectors following the simple disconnection of the pipe • Check the condition of the union and the cones. • Fit the end of the pipe into its seat in the union. To avoid prestressing, always check the alignment of the end of the pipe with the union. • Tighten the union’s nut down by hand until the two cones are packed together. Mark the position of the nut relative to the union body. • Use two wrenches working in opposite directions to tighten the nut down half a turn. This wedges the second cone under the first and tensions the seal unit. • Fit the brackets making sure not to stress the pipe. ! Before restoring system operation, have a HYDRAULIC LEAK TEST carried out at an IVECO Afersales Service centre.

The cylinders are connected in series to each other and are filled by a refuelling valve provided with check valve. A second check valve is inserted in the solenoid valve fitted on the first cylinder and connected to the refuelling filler. The check valves are used to prevent the release of gas into the outside environment when the valve is extracted after the refuelling operation. NOTE A faulty flow valve or solenoid valve may lead to incorrect indications regarding the cylinder contents. Refer to the solenoid valve inspection and replacement procedures in the corresponding paragraph 1.3.4. Important information concerning the cylinders is punched into their upper surface (→).

Introduction 2.1 Introduction IVECO Tector 6 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engine is Spark Ignition engine working in Otto process. It uses stoichiometrical air/fuel ratio for combustion in any operation point. The power of the engine is not controlled by fuel injection quantity like in a Diesel engine, but by air flow through the engine. The reaction times are therefore slightly delayed compared to a Diesel engine. This reduces rpm control quality in response to varying load. NOTE This Bodybuilder Instructions appendix was made to explain the precautions to be taken and the limitations to be respected when installing a Power Take-off (PTO) on a CNG engine. Introduction Printed 603.95.141 Base - 11/2010 2-4 PTO management EUROCARGO CNG Mechanical power take---off (PTO) installation, maximum power take---off 2.2 Mechanical power take-off (PTO) installation, maximum power take-off The PTOs available for Diesel engines are also suitable for CNG engines, apart from the Multipower PTO on the flywheel. Although it is possible to have torque take-offs from the transmission and the front part of the engine (see chapters 4.4 and 4.5 of “Bodybuilders instructions“ for Eurocargo M.Y. 2008), take-offs from the gearbox are the most recommendable. Power take-off from gearbox According to the type of gearbox, drive may be taken from the layshaft via flanges or fittings located to the rear, side or lower part of the gearbox. Table 1 shows available torque levels for the different types of gearbox/power take-off combinations, depending on the ratios between output rpm and engine rpm. IVECO must authorise high torque take-offs for sporadic use, according to the type of application. When applied to the gearbox, the PTO must normally be used with the vehicle at a standstill and must be engaged and released with the clutch disengaged. When the PTO must be used with the vehicle in motion, no gearshift must be carried out in order to avoid excessive stress on the synchronisers. One example of this type of mission is the collection of solid urban waste (SUW) where, due to the action of the compactor and simultaneous progress of the vehicle over distances of a few hundred metres, it is necessary to select and maintain a ’short’ gear ratio, normally second gear. For long transfers when fully laden, the power take-off must be disengaged, due also to the type of engine delivery. For transmissions with a torque converter, the power take-offs used on the manual gearboxes may normally be used. Note, however, that when engine rpm is lower than approximately 60% of the maximum value, the converter system is in the hydraulic operating stage. During this stage, the power take-off rpm may fluctuate according to the amount of power taken off even if engine rpm is constant. Direct application of pumps When pumps or other user devices are applied directly to the power take-off, i.e. with intermediate shafts, it is advisable to check that the static and dynamic torques exercised by the weight of the pump and power take-off are compatible with the gear casing wall strength. Where the gearbox is applied integral with the engine, the value of the additional weights must also be checked for inertia purposes so that resonance effects are not set up in the power unit within the engine operating speed range. Observe values in Table 1 for torque take-offs. ! During prolonged use, the gearbox oil temperature must not exceed 120 ˚C and water temperature must not exceed 100 ˚C. Not all types of power take-offs available on the market are suitable for continuous use. The specific instructions for the power take-off must be followed during use (working period, breaks etc.).

Application of a PTO after vehicle production requires programming of the BC (Body Computer) as well as some operations on the electrical and air system. Before applying a PTO, it is therefore advisable to consult 4.6 “PTO management” in “Bodybuilders instructions” for Eurocargo M.Y. 2008“. Electronic control unit reprogramming operations must be carried out using the appropriate diagnostic tool (available from IVECO dealerships and IVECO authorised workshops) and providing information on the PTO used.

Like this, it can be guaranteed that the engine can react in a relatively quick way to the need of torque variation. Figure 2.1 149748 Therefore, three PTO operation zones are defined for a CNG engine (see next page). Note that all torque and rotational speed values mentioned in these chapters refer to the engine clutch output side. If the installed PTO has a transmission ratio (which is virtually always the case), the torque @PTO can be calculated multiplying the values mentioned here by the transmission ratio, the rotational speed @PTO may be calculated by dividing the output values by the transmission ratio.

The vehicle is in standstill, gear is disengaged (= neutral), driving is impossible, accelerator pedal is disabled. The PTO load is the only load that is applied to the engine. The PTO load may be applied earliest 0.3 seconds after engine speed control target active. 2.2.3 Full power PTO operation - blue zone From 1250 rpm to 1600 rpm (engine output rotational speed) From 375 Nm to engine max torque applied by PTO (calculated on engine output) The engine operates in “configurable rpm 1, 2 or 3” mode with engine speed set between 1250 and 1600 rpm. The vehicle is in standstill, gear is disengaged (= neutral), driving is impossible, accelerator pedal is disabled. The PTO load is the only load that is applied to the engine. The PTO load may be applied earliest 0.5 seconds after engine speed control target active. PTO operation in this zone requires soft start function and smooth operation control. • Soft start: the body must not raise PTO torque quicker than 50 Nm/s (in order to avoid engine stall). This means that full torque (650 Nm) can be reached earliest after 13 seconds. • Smooth operation control: the body must avoid any significant variation of PTO torque; it is in the responsibility of the Bodybuilder to avoid engine speed oscillations with amplitude greater than +/- 50 rpm and engine speed accelerations greater than +/- 100 rpm/s. Figure 2.2 149748 If these limits are exceeded, engine malfunction and catalyst overheating with risk of fire and/or severe damage of the vehicle can occur. IVECO can not be held liable for any damage caused by inadequate PTO torque/power consumption in “full power PTO operation” (blue zone).

The engine operates in “PTO 1, 2 or 3 mode” without set rpms, except for minimum engine speed between 780 and 850 rpm. A high engine speed limit may be applied, but not below 2000 rpm. The vehicle may also be driven with PTO engaged, accelerator pedal is enabled The PTO load is applied in addition to the normal engine load by driving. The PTO load may be applied earliest 0.5 seconds after low engine speed limit active. In case of torque request > 180 Nm, a “soft start” function is required (additionally to all conditions mentioned above) in order to avoid engine stall. The body must not raise PTO torque quicker than 50 Nm/s.
