2.3. Correct use

„ The RECARO Apex, RECARO Profi SPG und
RECARO Profi SPA racing shells may only be
used in motor sports in conjunction with the
independently tested RECARO adapters
360942.
„ There is no general permit for the RECARO
Apex, RECARO Profi SPG und RECARO Profi
SpA racing shells and for the RECARO adapt­
ers 360942 (required for driving on public roads
in Germany). Racing shells and adapters are
not approved for use on public roads under
the German road traffic licensing regulations
(StVZO), the basis for regulating road traffic law
in Germany.
Racing shells and adapters are designed solely
for use in motor sports.
„ The RECARO Apex, RECARO Profi SPG und
RECARO Profi SPA racing shells may only be
used for as long as is stated on the homologa­
tion sticker
(Not valid after: xxxx).
After this date the racing shells may never again
be used in a vehicle.
„ RECARO racing shells that have been subjected
to the stresses of an accident (racing accident or
collision) must no longer be used.

2.4. Staff qualification

Only authorised experts may install and remove
racing shells. This also applies to the prior removal
of standard seats that are fitted with a side airbag in
the seat and/or pyrotechnic belt tensioners.

2.5. Installation instructions

Securing of the racing shell and the adapter in the
vehicle and the related structural modifications to
the vehicle must be done in accordance with the
specifications of the relevant national ASN (Autorité
Sportive Nationale) or the FIA (fédération interna­
tionale de l'automobile) as per the respective appli­
cable version of the regulations that apply.
2.6. Structural alterations
Structural alterations and the use of unapproved
components can jeopardise safety and functional
capability.
„ When installing the RECARO racing shell, use
only original components from RECARO.
„ Do not modify the racing shell, or its homologa­
tion will be rendered void.
„ Do not fit any additional parts (such as bever­
age holders, fire extinguishers etc.) to the racing
shell.

2.7. Residual risks

The supplied micro­encapsulated screws can break
or come loose if they are re­used several times.
in some circumstances, this can cause the racing
shell to become detached from its anchoring in the
event of an accident, and thus present a danger to
life and physical condition.
„ Use only the supplied micro­encapsulated
screws when installing the racing shell.
„ Use the supplied micro­encapsulated screws
only once.
„ Tighten all screws with the specified torque.
