WARNING!
Have the JOST KKS installed by trained personnel at a
suitable workshop. The fitting guidelines of the vehicle
manufacturer, the installation instructions, the require-
ments of ECE R13 and, if applicable, road traffic licens-
ing regulations, such as sections 19, 20 and 21 of the
StVZO in Germany, must be adhered to.
ATTENTION!
Pay attention to the following points:
Make sure that warning signs are not covered or
removed when the JOST KKS is installed.
Only use the electric cables and pneumatic hoses
supplied in the installation kit.
Correctly insulate exposed cable ends, e.g. using
end seals or heat-shrink tubing → risk of short cir-
cuit!
IMPORTANT!
Incorrect installation will invalidate all warranty claims
against the manufacturer and supplier of the JOST KKS.
