VIGIA provides different rotor mountings for different hub types. A) DISKS To install the disks, replace nuts or bolts in the hub with Vigia stud bolts according to the Table in next page (Fig. 1). Vigia stud bolts are available for different thread sizes and lengths. - Page 7 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Determine the quantity of nuts or bolts in the hub. Assign a number to each one, # 1 corresponding to the one in the highest position, numbering the rest clockwise. The following table shows all possible hub clamp nut or bolt quantities in the first column. With this information, determine the necessary stud bolt quantity (column 2), the nuts or bolts to be replaced (column 3) and the disk lines to be drilled (column 4).
- Page 8 DISK FASTENING EXAMPLE An axle with a 10-nut hub is shown. The fastening nuts are numbered as specified in step 2 (Fig. 3). Figure 3 From Table 1, it is determined that for a 10-nut hub, 3 stud bolts should be used to replace nuts numbers 1, 4 and 8, which must be taken out and replaced with the stud bolts provided with the system (Fig.

This element can replace the disks in units whose hubs have 3, 6, 9, 12, or 15 fastening nuts or bolts. Three of the nuts or bolts must be replaced by Vigia stud bolts that are provided with the system (Fig. 8). - Page 10 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Determine the quantity of nuts or bolts in the hub. Assign a number to each one, with # 1 corresponding to the one in the highest position; continue clockwise numbering the rest (Fig. 9). The following table shows all possible hub clamp nut or bolt quantities in the first column.

Screw on the VIGIA valve, lightly tightening it with a wrench. Ensure that the tire pressure is lower than the desired calibrated tire pressure. VIGIA hose and tire valves must not rub against the wheel rims and/or hubs. Important: Remove any tire extensions.

A-STEERING AXLES Align the steering wheels parallel to the truck’s body. Hold a plumb from the fender, so that the string's vertical line crosses the rotor's centre. Mark a point 50 mm (2") from the plumb line, towards the back of the vehicle and as close as possible to the edge of the fender (Fig. -

B2. Double axles (Fig. 40) Note: This procedure applies only when the air pressure in tires of both axles will be the same. If that is not the case, refer to the procedure for single axles. Using a plumb, determine the centre line between the axles. On the centre line, define a point at the approximate height of the tires, with respect to floor level. - Page 18 Tighten with a torque of approximately 115 lbs/sqft. (Fig. 47).

Page 26: Installation Procedure
2.5 - HOSE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Given the vast variety of vehicles on the market today, the hose installation will be subjected to the installer's criteria. Nevertheless, the following recommendations will facilitate and optimize the installation: Use only the hose provided with the system. Secure the hose approximately every 40 cm (16"). -

A tractor and trailer is shown. NM 343 CONNECTION PROCEDURE The VIGIA system comes with a full range of joints (Fig. 63) to satisfy multiple needs. The coupling between hose and joints is similar in each case, and a fastening nut is always provided to prevent the hose from being disconnected. - Page 28 For this coupling, a connection set is provided (Fig. 65). Installation procedure: Affix the end that has the 5/16" straight chassis joint (A) to the tractor in a location near the brake hose connection. If necessary, use the mounting provided (E). Affix the connection hose mounting with its cap (B) in an easy-to-reach location near the straight joint (A).

2.6 - AIR FILTER (Fig. 84) Purpose: To filter the air entering the VIGIA system, retaining solid impurities and water condensation, which are returned to the compressed air tank. Location: 1) Select a secondary air tank in the truck or bus operating at the same pressure as the compressor. - Page 30 (Fig. 87). Note: 1) The air filter will prevent problems ONLY VIGIA system; therefore the air tanks should be drained periodically. 2) The air filter must be cleaned at least twice a year to ensure proper operation.
