2.3. Correct use

„ The RECARO P1300GT racing shell may only
be used in motor sports in conjunction with
the independently tested RECARO adapters
7221391 or 7308864.
„ There is no ‚ABE' general operating permit
(necessary for operation on public roads in Ger­
many) for the racing shell RECARO P1300GT,
or for the RECARO adapters 7221391 and
7308864. 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.
The racing shell and adapter are designed solely
for use in motor sports.
„ The racing shell RECARO P1300GT must not
be used after the date shown on the approval
sticker (Not valid after: xxxx).
After this date, the racing shells and the corre­
sponding adapters may not continue to be used
in a vehicle under any circumstances.
„ 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.
