Attention!
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571),
each final-stage manufacturer shall com-
plete the vehicle 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ment shall, however, be superseded by any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 manufac-
tured 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 regula-
tions issued under the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
