2 INTRODUCTION
If you have any questions or remarks about this manual or about your GreenSteering system, you can always
contact us via info@group-ims.com. Never make presumptions. When in doubt, always contact GreenSteering.
This document contains guidelines for installing the GreenSteering steering system in order to guarantee the
proper functioning of the system. They are not in any way a guideline for the design of your chassis. This remains
the unique responsibility of the chassis constructor. All common principles, technical calculations, designs, etc.
remain applicable. Drawings and images in this manual that are not directly applicable to the steering system are
merely illustrative and do not entail any indication of the design of the chassis itself.
If you derogate from these instructions, you must always request written permission from GreenSteering. Without
this written permission, any liability will invalidate as well as the guarantee on our products.

3 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
3.1 Safety regulations
The installation of the GreenSteering system must be performed by qualified and experienced personnel.
Make sure that the trailer conforms to all regulations (road regulations, company procedures, health and
safety regulations).
The trailer must be prevented from moving during installation or repair work. Please observe the relevant
safety regulations for installation and/or repair work on commercial vehicles. This holds particularly true for
jacking up and securing the vehicle.
Always wear protective clothing (gloves, safety boots, safety goggles, etc.) and only use recommended
tools.
A second technician must provide assistance when carrying out work with heavy components.
All air lines must be depressurized before components are being removed.
Oil, grease, hydraulic fluids and batteries can contaminate the environment. Follow the correct procedures
for the recycling of these substances.
Tighten all fasteners to the recommended tightening torques, using a calibrated torque wrench.
Do not mount any underride protection onto the rear unit.
