Chapter 2 - Installation
Installer Notice
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571), each final-stage manufacturer shall complete the vehi-
cle in such a manner that it conforms to the standards in effect on the date of manufacture of the
incomplete vehicle, the date of final completion, or a date between those two dates. This require-
ment shall, however, be superseded by any conflicting provisions of a standard that applies by its
terms to vehicles manufactured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar
®
Hooklifts is considered one of the manufacturers of the vehicle.
As such a manufacturer, the installer is responsible for compliance with all applicable federal and
state regulations. They are required to certify that the vehicle is in compliance with the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and other regulations issued under the National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act.
Please reference the Code of Federal Regulations, title 49 - Transportation, Volume 5 (400-999), for
further information, or visit http://www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html for the full text of Code of
Federal Regulations.
