1 SECTION / DE06 GENERAL CONDITIONS See Figures 1 and 2 for the geometry of the frontand rear axles. Figure 3 represents the axis system of a Nova LFS 40-ft bus. Before performing the alignment, the following conditions must be met: 1. Inspect the following points on the vehicle: a. Make sure tire inflation is correct. See section 06: wheels and tires, for additional information. b. Check the wheel installation and out-of-round wear. c. Check wheel-bearing adjustment. d. Check the tightness of all steering and axle joints. 2. Make sure that the bus is level. If necessary, level the vehicle according to the procedure found in section 08: kneeling and leveling. 3. Perform a road test. 4. Park the vehicle on a level and solid surface. 5. Put the transmission in the neutral position with the parking brake applied. 6. Connect an air supply to the external connector(s) of the vehicle.

Y POSITIVE: toward the street side of the vehicle. Y NEGATIVE: toward the curb side of the vehicle. X AXIS: front axle center. The rear axle center position is also measured in relation to this axis. X POSITIVE: toward the front of the vehicle. X NEGATIVE: toward the rear axle. Z AXIS: height of the vehicle. Z POSITIVE: toward the roof of the vehicle. Z NEGATIVE: toward the roadway. REAR (-) REAR AXLE Figure 3 - Axis System ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE Axle alignment of a Nova LFS must be performed in the following order: 1. Rear axle alignment 2. Rear axle inclination 3. Drive shaft angle 4. Front axle alignment 5. Camber check 6. Caster adjustment 7. Toe adjustment 8. Steering wheel position adjustment The vehicle operator is at liberty to choose the type of equipment and alignment procedures that best suit the circumstances. However, the results should not differ. CAUTION: Be sure to perform a complete alignment of the vehicle according to specifications. CAUTION: To obtain proper readings, ensure the assembly and equipment are appropriate. If the assembly and equipment are not appropriate, readings and results will be inaccurate. CAUTION: Whenever shims are added, or removed, from the radius rods to adjust the alignment of the axles, ensure that the shims are distributed equally on each side, since torsion of the axle causes premature wearing of the bushings on the radius rods. The thickness of the added shims must be a maximum of 1/4 in. (6 mm) per adjusted face. There must always be at least one shim of 1/8 in. (3 mm) thickness between the radius rods and the structure. Once the shims are installed, tighten the radius rods to the torques indicated in section : radius rods in this manual. CAUTION: For all non-specified torque values, see sections 04: zf front axle and 05: zf rear axle in this manual.
4 2010DE06 4 / REAR AXLE ALIGNMENT The alignment of the rear axle allows verification of whether the rear axle is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the structure (W axis perpendicular to the Y axis). See Figures 3 and 4. If the value obtained exceeds the tolerance indicated in Figure 4, adjust by adding or removing shims at the attachment points of the upper radius rods only. REAR AXLE INCLINATION The inclination of the rear axle allows for the drive shaft to be aligned between the rear axle output and the transmission output according to an axis. See Figure 5. To measure this angle, place a digital protractor with a precision of 0.1 o on any 90º machined surface, or the air spring support plates. If the latter are used, ensure that they are leveled to 0º. See Figure 5. The reading of the angle must be between 80.5º and 81º. Adjust by adding or removing shims at the attachment points of the lower radius rods only. The shims must be distributed equally on each side. Recheck the measurement of the angle after having added or removed the shims. DRIVE SHAFT ANGLE To measure this angle, place a digital protractor with a precision of 0.1º on the machined surface of the drive shaft, as shown in Figure 6. The value must be between 6.8º and 11.1º. FRONT AXLE ALIGNMENT The alignment of the front axle allows the placing of the front axle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the structure (X axis is perpendicular to the Y axis). See Figures 3 and 4. If the value obtained exceeds the tolerance indicated in Figure 4, adjust by adding or removing shims at the attachment points of the upper radius rods only. THE AXIS X 0.0 MUST BE PERPENDICULAR TO THE AXIS Y 00 X-Y = <3MM X X 0.0 (X=675, Y=315, Z=126) (X=502, Y=606, Z=-274) 3 TOLERANCE OF PERPENDICULARITY OF FRONT AXLE 3 3 TOLERANCE OF PERPENDICULARITY OF REAR AXLE Y REAR AXLE (X=502, Y=606, Z=274) (X=675, Y=315, Z=-126) FRONT AXLE Figure 4 - Rear Axle and Front Axle Alignment

The camber cannot be adjusted. For the above operation, the vehicle must be free of any load and the axle alignment process must be completed. Camber and caster must be carried out simultaneously ROLLING RADIUS OFFSET Figure 7 - Camber Adjustment
6 2010DE06 6 / CASTER ADJUSTMENT This adjustment allows for the steering column axis to be set at a predetermined angle, or in other words, to align the front wheels according to the X-axis. See Figures 3 and 8: Left side: 3.5 o ± 0.17 o Right side: 3.5 o ± 0.17 o If the reading is not within the indicated range, adjust the alignment of the front axle by adding shims only to the lower radius rods. Add the shims equally to both sides, since torsion of the axle causes premature wearing of the bushings on the radius rods. If it is not possible to obtain the desired value of one of the sides, the upper radius rods can be used to compensate. TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT The toe-in value is the difference between the distance measured between the front of the left-side rim and the front of the right-side rim of the front axle (value U) and the distance measured between the rear of the left-side rim and the rear of the right-side rim of the front axle (value V). See Figure 9. The toe-in value must be between + 1 /32 in. (0.8 mm) and + 1 /16 in. (1.6 mm). The settings must be adjusted at the tie rod. STEERING WHEEL POSITION ADJUSTMENT This adjustment allows to align the steering wheel in its neutral position. See section : steering column for the procedure. 3.5 ±0.17 SWIVEL AXIS OF KING PIN KNUCKLE SUPPORT KING PIN KNUCKLE (X2) Figure 8 - Caster Adjustment

This adjustment allows to adjust the front axle stroke-end stops to avoid having to readjust the power steering needle valves. The stops limit the maximum left and right steer angle by absorbing residual energy in the power steering after pressure is cut from the power steering gearbox. See Figure 10. ATTENTION : Before adjusting the steering angle, check if the air pressure in the pneumatic suspension is adequate and ensure that the front axle is properly aligned. ATTENTION: Before adjusting the steering angle, see section 07: steering mechanism in this manual. Make sure that the pitman arm is properly installed on the steering mechanism and that the drag link is adjusted properly and that it is neither twisted nor bent. STOP BOLT Figure 10 - Stop Bolt Under Front Axle
8 2010DE06 8 / Lift the front of the bus until the front end is raised off the ground. See section 18: hoisting and towing in this manual for more information. 2. Adjust the right stop bolt: a. Measure the distance between the top of the bolt head and the surface of the axle. b. If necessary, unscrew the stop bolt until the top of the bolt head is at a distance of 48 mm from the surface of the axle. See Figure 11. c. Turn the steering wheel to the right, as far as possible, while keeping in line with the following steering angles. See Figures 12 and 13. Left side: 36 o +1 o /-2 o Right Side : 45 o, +1 o /-2 o When adjusting the stop bolts, ensure that at the end of the turning cycle (full steering lock), a minimum allowance of 3/4 in. (19 mm) between the side of the tire and the air spring is respected. During the adjustment process, the maximum pressure should never exceed 90 N m, thus preventing damage to the system.

9 / DE06 3. Adjust the left stop bolt: a. Measure the distance between the top of the bolt head and the surface of the axle. b. If necessary, unscrew the stop bolt until the top of the bolt head is at a distance of 48 mm from the surface of the axle. See Figure 11. c. Turn the steering wheel to the right, as far as possible, while keeping in line with the following steering angles. See Figures 12 and 13. Left side: 45 o, +1 o /-2 o Right Side : 36 o, +1 o /-2 o 4. After these adjustments, always check that the wheels have clearance relative to the suspension, brakes and structure. If the steering wheel is difficult to turn after these steps, check the connections and pressure from the hydraulic and steering systems.
