2.7. Residual risks

the supplied micro-encapsulated screws can break
or come loose if they are re-used 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 micro-encapsulated screws
„
when installing the racing shell.
Use the supplied micro-encapsulated screws only
„
once.
Tighten all screws with the specified torque.

are correctly installed (see the manufacturer's instal-
lation instructions).
