    REQUIREMENT!Modifications of the chassis or its systems, which are not described in the instructions, must not be made without permission from Scania CV AB.

    If the bus bodybuilder wishes to carry out a modi-fication and deviate from the standard version of the chassis then he must contact Scania, [email protected], and fill in a deviation report. The specimen document "Deviation re-quest" is available in the BBM via SAIL. The bus bodybuilder must obtain written approval for the modification.Issue 2015.4 en-GBScania's bus chassis have been developed in ac-cordance with Scania's product policy and in close cooperation with bus bodybuilders.

    The purpose of the following bus bodybuilding in-structions is to make it easier for bus bodybuilders to achieve the quality expected by Scania custom-ers.Bus bodybuilding instructionsScania retains the right to modify products without simultaneously amending the bus bodybuilding in-structions. However, these are always adjusted af-terwards and as soon as feasibly possible.

    Due to product modifications it is extremely im-portant that the bus bodybuilder makes sure to have access to the latest issue of the Scania Bus Builder's Manual and attendant documentation.

    221Issue 2015.4 en-GBBackgroundFinal function settings and inspections must be performed on the finished bodywork in order to ensure the quality of the bus. The bus must under-go a Quality Assurance Inspection (BBMQA) and a delivery maintenance (DI).

    The BBMQA is mandatory and a condition for the delivery maintenance to be carried out. In this way the quality of the bus is assured throughout the en-tire manufacturing process, i.e. chassis manufac-ture, bus bodybuilding and delivery maintenance.Function settingsThere are a number of functions that the bus body-builder can engage in different ways. In certain cases the settings need to be changed in the control units. This is carried out in connection with BBM-QA.

    For the settings to be correct the bus bodybuilder must provide information to the Scania workshop that shall conduct the BBMQA. This is performed with each bus on the specimen document entitled BBFS (Bus Builder's Function Settings). For fur-ther information, see chapter 11.7 Bodybuilder connections.15

  • 1.5 BBMQAInspection proceduresScania is responsible for the training of dealers and bus bodybuilders.

    Faults detected in BBMQA inspections must be rectified before the bus is delivered to the custom-er. The dealer reports defects found to the bus bodybuilder and Scania.

    The BBMQA supervisor at the dealer has access to Scania's defect reporting system and reports via the Internet and sends in a SOPS file (Scania On-board Product Specification). The report must be submitted to Scania within a week after the com-pleted BBMQA inspection.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 1 Introduction > 1.5 BBMQA > Bus Builder's Manual Quality Assurance16

  • 1.6 Transport damageBBM F > 1 Introduction > 1.6 Transport damage > GeneralGeneral

    Global transport insuranceScania CV AB has a global transport insurance that covers all transport in which Scania is respon-sible for risk, such as chassis transport.

    The insurance covers multi-risks that are in effect, regardless of the type of transport, including when the chassis is delivered on its own wheels.

    Scania global transport insurance is in effect around the world, except in the following coun-tries:

    Russia Brazil Argentina Chile Mexico Morocco China Iran IraqIssue 2015.4 en-GBTransport damage claims with Scania insuranceWhenever transport damage is found it is impor-tant that the damage is claimed with both the trans-port company and Scania insurance company.

    Carefully read the Transport Claims Manual for bodybuilders (Transport Claims Manual_body-builder)), containing information on how to pro-ceed when a chassis is received, and transport damage is found. Next, fill in the Transport Dam-age Report. Please note that these documents are available only in English and Swedish.

    The documents are available in chapter 14 Appen-dix in the BBM via SAIL.17

  • 1.7 Vehicle OptimiserBBM F > 1 Introduction > 1.7 Vehicle Optimiser > GeneralGeneral

    Vehicle Optimiser is a calculation program that is continuously updated with information on all of Scania chassis. The bus bodybuilder can obtain in-formation on chassis weight and centre of gravity from Vehicle Optimiser.

    The bus bodybuilder can also complement the Sca-nia information about the chassis with its own data from finished bodywork. The Vehicle Optimiser programme thus becomes an instrument for calcu-lating the following properties of the completed vehicle:

    Load and passenger capacity. Turning radiuses and accessibility. Rollover threshold.Vehicle Optimiser is on the SAIL portal at this ad-dress:

    IMPORTANT!

    Make sure that no cables or pipes are damaged when installing the hoisting cables.Issue 2015.4 en-GBLifting with cablesAlways attach the lifting cables to the wheels when lifting the chassis at ports or other sites. Generally, special lifting devices are available for this pur-pose. Pass the cables around the ends of the chassis side members a few times to prevent the extra weight at the front of the unit from tipping for-ward. Make sure that these cables are slack as they are only designed to prevent the chassis from tip-ping forward. Typical configuration of cables for lifting the chassis.21

  • 2.2 Removing the chassis

    Removing the chassis through driving

    WARNING!

    Exercise the greatest caution during all driving of the chassis. From a safety and strength point of view it is inadvisable to drive the chassis faster than 30 km/h. Avoid driving on public roads.

    There will be no braking effect in the chassis, if there is no pressure in the brake system and if the brake cylinder screws are loose.

    If there is no hydraulic pressure, the power steering will not be operational and the chassis will become difficult to steer.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.2 Rem1. Parking brake interlock valveBefore discharging the chassis by steering it, you must wait for the entire air system to be charged with enough pressure to supply the entire brake system. Some chassis are equipped with an inter-lock valve for the parking brake. If this button has been activated, a button on the instrument panel will have to be pressed so that the parking brake can be released, see the figure above.

  • 2.2 Removing the chassisIf the engine does not start for some reason, the pneumatic system can be filled with air from an-other source of compressed air, with the exception of oil and water, from a coupling union located at the front of the chassis.

    If there is no hydraulic pressure the power steering will not be operational and the chassis steering will be heavy.

    The front end of the chassis has a connection for rapid filling of the entire pneumatic system. Its lo-cation may vary slightly. The connecting thread is M14. Use anhydrous and oil-free air from an exter-nal compressed air source (max. 12 bar).Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.2 Rem4x2 and 6x2 Chassis

  • 2.3 Towing the chassisBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.3 Towing the chassis > Action before towingAction before towing

    When towing less than 500 metresWhen on tow for less than 500 metres no action is required before towing.

    When towing more than 500 metresIf the engine is working, no action need be taken before towing except keeping the engine running at idling speed.

    Manual gearbox If the bus or chassis with manual gearbox is to

    be towed more than 500 metres, the input shaft of the gearbox must rotate, i.e. the engine must be running to ensure that the gearbox receives sufficient lubrication.

    If the engine cannot be run at idling speed then the driving wheels must be lifted or both the drive axles removed, see the section later on in this chapter entitled, Removing the drive ax-les, or Removing the propeller shaft.Issue 2015.4 en-GBIMPORTANT!

    The gearbox receives no lubrication when the ve-hicle is being towed because the oil pump on the automatic gearbox, or the rotation of the input shaft on the manual gearbox, requires the engine to be running.

    The half shafts should be fitted back in place by a Scania workshop.

    The propeller shaft should be fitted back in place by a Scania workshop.24

  • 2.3 Towing the chassisReleasing the parking brake

    IMPORTANT!

    When the engine has been stopped the brake pres-sure will gradually drop. Steering will also be heavy as there is no power steering.

    When the parking brake has been rendered non-op-erational through release of the spring force in the brake chamber, the vehicle will have no function-ing brakes.

    Braking capacity will be restored when the air pressure in the brake system has been built up again by the compressor.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.3 TowinIn connection with all towing considerations it is important to ensure that the parking brake is not applied on the affected wheels.

    The parking brake has a connection in the hand brake valve on the instrument panel, like that of the tyres. By connecting the parking brake circuit to the spare wheel, for instance, the parking brake can be temporarily released for a certain time. A hose for this purpose is included in the chassis accesso-ry box.

    If no compressed air is available, unscrew the screw in the spring brake cylinder.g the chassis > Action before towingAir connection for the parking brake circuit.

  • 2.3 Towing the chassis

    Towing via the front end

    WARNING!

    Care must be taken whenever the chassis is moved. Driving on public highways must be avoided, be-cause the chassis is not equipped with the appro-priate safety components.

    Towing the chassis on a level surface:

    When the chassis is moved inside the bodybuild-er's workshop, it must be pushed or pulled using a towbar.

    To allow the chassis to be towed, the bodybuilder should fabricate a tow hitch (as shown in the figure on the next page).

    The same towing device must be used later for towing the finished bus.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.3 Towing the chassis > Towing via the front end28

  • 2.3 Towing the chassisThe pin and hook must be supplied by the body-builder together with all the other tools on the fin-ished bus.

    The bracket must be welded onto the front frame of the chassis, as shown in the figure, in the most suit-able position.

    The bodybuilder is responsible for designing and fitting a suitably sized towing device to stand up to the towing forces involved.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.3 TowinValid only for F 4x2 and 6x2 chassis.1.

    WARNING!

    The chassis has no service brake when the brake system is depressurised. Attach a note to the steer-ing wheel advising that the vehicle has no braking power.

    IMPORTANT!

    Trickle-charge the batteries every third month.Issue 2015.4 en-GBScania's chassis are transport-protected from the factory. This means that the agent Tectyl 300 has been applied to unpainted areas, for example, tooled surfaces such as torque rod attachments. This protection can take paint and must be main-tained. Consequently it must not be removed be-fore painting.

    However, when storing under unfavourable condi-tions this treatment must be supplemented, e.g. if the chassis shall be stored for more than 6 months, see below.

    Action planThe following instructions can be applied to chas-sis storage over a period of several months up to a couple of years. Complete conservation should be applied in the case of lengthier storage.Storing for 6 months1. Warm up the engine to at least 80 C.2. Drain the compressed air tanks.3. Replace the fuel filters.4. Fill the fuel tanks, otherwise condensate is

    formed in the tanks.5. Remove the batteries or detach the batteries'

    negative terminals. They must be fully charged, min. 25.2 volts.

    6. The storage location must be protected from precipitation and sunlight.

    7. Cover the tyres and light plastic components to protect them from sunlight.

    8. Lubricate the link yoke between the brake slack adjuster and the brake chamber.

    9. Make sure that the instrument panel, steering wheel and the central electric unit are covered with plastic covering or similar.32

  • 2.4 Storing the chassisStoring for more than 6 months1. Support the chassis with blocks between the

    frame and axle beam.2. Supplement the transport protection. Fine

    spray or brush metal surfaces that are not painted e.g. edges, corners and screw joints. However, rims and wheel nuts must not be treated with transport protection.

    3. Unscrew the release bolts in the parking brake cylinders.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.4 StorinRepeat every 3 months(Every 6 months if the chassis is stored in heated and dry premises.)

    1. Warm up the engine to at least 80 C.2. Turn the front wheels to their end positions a

    couple of times.3. Depress the brake pedal several times.4. Depress the clutch pedal several times.5. Support the axles. Engage one gear at a time

    and allow the timing gears to work for a while when running to operating temperature.

    6. Rotate the front and tag axle wheels.7. Check all electrically controlled systems.8. Investigate whether the chassis has been at-

    tacked by rust. Rectify it if this is the case.9. Check oils, fluid levels and for any leaks.10. Drain the air tanks.11. Check the protection on the central electric

    unit and instruments.12. Check the batteries, min. 25.2 volts.g the chassis > Storing the chassis

  • 2.5 Handling the batteriesBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.5 Handling the batteries > GeneralGeneral

    The following action must be taken in order that the batteries do not sustain permanent damage dur-ing storage and bus bodybuilding:

    When removing the batteries they must be marked with the chassis numbers to ensure that they are used on the correct chassis after bus bodybuilding.

    The battery switch must always be switched off when the chassis' engine is switched off and when the chassis is stored.

    Note:Bus bodybuilders are responsible for the condition of batteries for as long as a chassis is in their pos-session.

    Removing and fitting batteries, see chapter 2.7 Re-moving battery equipment.Issue 2015.4 en-GBWARNING!

    When the batteries are charged explosive gas is formed.

    Smoking is prohibited! No naked flames or welding near the battery! Wear protective goggles! Battery acid is highly corrosive! If acid gets into your eyes or onto your skin or

    clothes, rinse them immediately with water. Always seek medical attention if you get acid

    in your eyes. A short circuit can cause injuries and an out-

    break of fire.If the charging status falls below approx. 50% (electrolyte specific gravity is below approx. 1.20 g/cm ) then the battery's lead plates start to sul-phate.

    The sulphating is permanent and diminishes the battery service life and capacity (Ah). It will also become more difficult to charge the battery which can mean that in future it will be more difficult for it to hold a charging status above approx. 50% and prevent further sulphating.34

  • 2.5 Handling the batteriesThe chassis batteries can be supplied to the bus bodybuilder with a charging status of 1.26 g/cm without the batteries being damaged or reducing their service life. This takes place if the charging status is below 1.20 g/cm.

    When the bus bodybuilder receives the chassis, the charging status of the batteries must be checked immediately and they must be charged if neces-sary.

    WARNING!

    The battery contains corrosive acid which requires that work is conducted with caution and the use of safety equipment.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 2 Preparations before bus bodybuilding > 2.5 HandChecking battery charging statusMeasure battery charging status by measuring bat-tery acid density, also known as acid gravity. Do this using a hydrometer or measuring tool with a prism. The battery must have been at rest for at least 10 hours when the acid gravity is measured.

    Note:Acid gravity measurement cannot be performed if the battery has recently been topped up with dis-tilled water. It takes an extremely long time (sever-al days) for the water and acid to mix.

    Switch off electrical components when checking the battery's state of charge. The batteries do not need to be disconnected.

    The voltage can be measured directly at the termi-nals or between the positive cable and ground con-nection in the safety panel in the driver area (the battery box need not be opened). For values, see the table on the next page. Compensation for am-bient temperatures is unnecessary.ling the batteries > GeneralCharging batteries.35

  • 2.5 Handling the batteriesNote:Measure the acid gravity in all cells in both batter-ies. If the difference in acid gravity between the cell with the highest value and that with the lowest value exceeds 0.03 kg/dm then the cells are dam-aged. Both batteries must be removed and replaced with new ones.

    If measuring the acid gravity has to be carried out at temperatures around -10 C and less, remember that the meter will show a slightly higher value compared with the table below.

    Replace the battery if the acid density is lower than 1.24 g/cm. If the bus is equipped with a charging socket, this must be used. Check that the battery master switch is turned off.

    WARNING!

    The hydraulic oil tanks for the servo systems (clutch and steering) must be protected while bodybuilding is in progress due to the risk of fire.

    IMPORTANT!

    Grounding off, drilling, painting and welding work can damage unprotected chassis components.

    The bodybuilder should protect the radiator with a hard plate when bodybuilding is in progress.

    When working on the upper part of the chassis, note that there are fragile components that must not be trodden on.Issue 2015.4 en-GBProtection of chassis componentsThe bodybuilder must protect the chassis compo-nents in the time of preparing the chassis and keep the protections during the bus bodybuilding pro-cess.

    Important components that must be protected dur-ing bus bodybuilding:

    transmission belts and pulleys. Powertrain electrical components (ECU, cable

    harnesses, sensors, connectors, etc.). chassis cable harness, pneumatic and hydrau-

    lic pipes. Expansion tank - protect the tank before and

    during bus bodybuilding. If the expansion tank is exposed to UV light it will become dis-coloured and the level in the tank will then be hard to read.

    Radiators -protect the front part of the radiator against impact, with a hard plate.

    Steering wheel. Multi-leaf springs - cannot be exposed to

    welding sparks, protect with fire-proof/ther-mal insulating material.

    Project the bus bodywork so that it supports all the dynamic forces that arise during a displacement

    The most important function of the chassis frame is to act as a bracket for all the components and provide correct positions for them.

    The frame is sufficiently rigid to ensure that the wheel axles follow their calculated tracks during suspension movements in combination with accel-eration, braking, steering and sideways rolling.

    IMPORTANT!

    The bus bodybuilder is responsible for the body structure. Modifications to the chassis are not al-lowed.

    If it is necessary to alter the original plan for the chassis, the bodybuilder must request prior written authorisation from Scania.

    For further information, see chapter 1.3 Chassis modification.Issue 2015.4 en-GBIn designing a bus body, it is important to under-stand that it must be capable of withstanding the dynamic forces that arise while the bus is in use.

    The body together with the chassis frame make up a unique product.

    Chassis frame F is built with two longitudinal U-section side members with transverse cross mem-bers between the side members.Dynamic forcesThe bus body must withstand a combination of dy-namic forces in all directions. The forces act in three main directions:

  • 3.3 Forces affecting the bus

    Vertical forces

    GeneralVertical forces are caused by acceleration of sus-pension movements and the static body, passenger and luggage load. When the bus turns, vertical forces affect the sides and the extension of the bus.

    The reactions in the axles are split between the bearing shells of the leaf springs. There are two bearing shells for each leaf spring.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 3 Body connection > 3.3 Forces affecting the bus >The vertical forces of the wheels are transferred to the side members and then to the cross members ahead of and behind the axles. Vertical forcesProject the diagonal profiles so that the load is transferred to the chassis. See figure.

    The diagonal profiles should be found where the forces enter the side of the bodywork. This hap-pens, for example, in the reinforcement ribbing around the windows and cross members transfer-ring the load to the chassis.69

  • 3.3 Forces affecting the busThe bus powertrain (engine and gearbox), form a concentrated mass that weighs about 1500 kg and creates vertical dynamic forces. Most of these forces travel through the front member/chassis driver bracket to the body sides, from there for-wards to the body structure and then down to the spring beams of the front suspension.Issue 2015.4 en-GBBBM F > 3 Body connection > 3.3 Forces affecting the bus >Under severe driving conditions, such as when the bus is driven on a very bad road, twisting of the bus body can occur when the front wheel on one side and the rear wheels on the opposite side are simul-taneously pressed against the suspension stop.

    Isocyanates are found in many paints, fillers, glues and foam plastics that are used on motor vehicles.

    WARNING!

    Breathing in isocyanate in the form of fumes, dust or aerosol can, among other things, cause irritation of the mucous membrane, with symptoms similar to those of asthma in the respiratory tract and im-paired lung capacity. Even exposure to high doses for a short time can lead to problems of permanent over-sensitivity.

    WARNING!

    Heating products containing compounds with iso-cyanate may release them and cause high levels of exposure. This is what happens, for instance, dur-ing grinding, welding and heat cutting on products coated with paints containing isocyanate.Issue 2015.4 en-GBWARNING!

    Scania's objective is to avoid paints, fillers and ad-hesives containing isocyanate, but they occur in particular in some of the paint systems currently used on vehicles when delivered from the factory. Scania cannot vouch for paintwork, etc. performed on the vehicle after delivery from the factory.
