These regulations read as follows:
- If the prescribed rear lights, the direction
indicators or the registration No. of the towing
vehicle are hidden by the spreader (or other
implement) they will have to be repeated on the
mounted implement. If the sides of the mounted
implements protrude more than 400 mm the
outer edge of the light emitting source of the
limiting or tail lights of the towing vehicle, extra
parking warning plates and limiting lights are
required. If the mounted implement protrudes
more than 1 m beyond the tail lights of the towing
vehicle parking warning plates, rear light units
and rear reflectors are required. The light units
and possibly required parking warning plates and
foils can be obtained from your dealer directly. As
always the latest edition of the national traffic
regulations is valid, please verify them at your
