Special points to be considered
- Installing lights for semi-trailer
The installation of lights should comply with current regulations and laws of
each country. When installing wires, care should be taken not to rub against
moving parts of the body, as this could damage them. Also, enough wire should
be provided to allow maximum rotation of the semi-trailer. The use of brackets
for wires is recommended.
- Installing brakes for semi-trailer
The Body Builder is responsible for performing the installation of the specific
brake system for the semi-trailer. This must be attached to the tractor unit.
Parts of the same type as those used in the original vehicle must be used.
See chapter 4.8 "Brake system modifications".

NOTICE
For proper installation of the brake system, Directive 71/320 EEC and Regulation
ECE R 13 must be complied with.
