The responsibility for observing valid regulations in the case of
wheel loaders with "interchangeable equipment" (e.g. bucket or
fork-lift) which was not supplied from works lies with the customer which was subsequently fitted to the machine.
The directives for CE conformity and road-traffic registration
are deemed to have been fulfilled when the manufacturer of the
equipment confirms fulfilment of the form 421-93-H1900 alongside.
The certification must be sent to the customer and the wheel
loader manufacturer. The CE conformity declaration for a specific wheel loader is only legally valid once this has taken place.
The dimensions X1, X2, Y1 and Y2 must be provided by the
customer for approval for use on public roads. (valid in Germany)
The dimension Sh (smallest tyre radius) must be added to the
dimension D2.
The figure G (in kg) represents the maximum load (equipment
and operating load) which may act upon this point.
