1.1.1 EU Directives
Machines supplied by us fulfil the Directive for Machinery 89/
392/EEC and all supplements. If the machine is being used in
another country, it is possible that certain safety regulations and
specifications may not be fulfilled for use in that country. For
example, priority vehicle warning lamps may be used in some
countries, but are forbidden in others.
Please contact our dealer before using the machine if you have
any questions regarding the fulfilment of standards and regula-
tions in a specific country.
Notes on subsequent installation of electrical and elec-
tronic equipment and components
Electrical and electronic equipment and/or components which
have been installed subsequently, emit electromagnetic radia-
tion which can influence the function of the electronic compo-
nents and sections of the machine. This can have an influence
on the safety of the machine and endanger persons. For this
reason, please ensure that the following safety instructions are
observed.
If you are installing electrical or electronic equipment and/or
components in the machine and connect them to the vehicle
electrical system, you must check at own responsibility that the
installations do not cause any disturbance to the vehicle’s elec-
tronic system or other components. Above all, you must ensure
that any subsequently installed electrical and electronic compo-
nents comply with the EMV Directive 89/336/EEC in its current
edition and bear the CE mark.
The following requirements also have to be met for subsequent
installation of mobile communication systems (e.g. radio, tele-
phone):
z Only equipment approved by national legislation (e.g. BZT
approval for Germany) may be used
z
The unit must be fixed in position
z
Portable or mobile units may only be used inside the vehi-
cles if they are connected to a fixed outside antenna
z The transmitter unit must be spatially separated from the
vehicle’s electronic system
z
Make sure when installing the antenna that this is installed
correctly with good earth connection between antenna and
vehicle mass

tions for wiring, installation and maximum permitted power con-
sumption.
