General considerations
Before starting conversion work on the vehicle, it is recommended that the basic
vehicle should be weighed and measured, and a detailed planning of the work to
developed should be carried out. In this way it is possible to properly determine the
dimensions, weights and main features of the upper body to be installed.

The proper height of the centre of gravity must be achieved, to ensure maximum
stability, as well as to comply with the distribution of weight according to the regu-
lations in force and to the guidelines contained in this manual.
.
The laws and regulations in force in each country must be complied with.
There must be no disruption, either partial or complete, of the functioning of any of
the equipment fitted to the vehicle as standard. Likewise, access should be ensured
to relevant parts from the point of view of maintenance and repair.
The finished vehicle must be approved in accordance with the European Directive
2007/46/EC. For this reason, verification of changes made to the basic vehicle must
be carried out at a technical inspection centre. After obtaining the results, all the
engineering specifications of the vehicle will be submitted to an official centre, to
obtain new approval.
