2.3.
Proper installation and safety
A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and
the specified alignment of the turntable in the direction of travel (park position), see also
installation and connection. Follow as precisely as possible the installation conditions and steps
described. Modifications to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by
a specialist in vehicle electrics. Do not make any unauthorized changes to the turntable.
2.4.
Adhesive sealant
The turntable is attached to the roof of the vehicle by adhesive and is secured by additional
fixing screws. Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant is temperature-dependent. It reaches
its full strength only after approximately 48 hours.
2.5.
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations
The applicable regulations must be observed in respect of fixed installation of the turntable on a
vehicle which is driven on public highways.
In particular, §§ 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and the EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable. Briefly, they
state that no endorsement of the vehicle documentation is required unless the antenna unit
causes the height of the laden vehicle to exceed 2mt, or the antenna unit projects beyond the
outer lateral outline of the vehicle. The maximum eligible height of 4mt (vehicle and antenna
unit) must not be exceeded.
