9.6 General Maintenance

Look after your trailer. All aluminium parts, chrome or galvanised parts (including all screw connectors) should be regularly cleaned and protected using standard products for this purpose. Ask your specialist dealer about suitable products for protecting your trailor.

10. Warranty

The statutory warranty covers defects. Damage resulting from improper use, use of force, lack of maintenance, or normal wear and tear, is excluded from such a statutory defect warranty.

The period of statutory warranty depends on the law of the country in question.

Our products have components or parts which are also subject to natural wear and tear arising from normal use, depending very much on the type and degree of use and also how well the product has been serviced and maintained.

In particular where there has been a lot of use (day in day out and in all kinds of weather), individual parts or components can reach their wear limit before the statutory guarantee period has expired. Just because a product has become prematurely worn because of use, it does not automatically mean the product is defective.

For your information we have therefore listed in the following table the important parts affected by wear and tear, and have named typical contributing factors relating to use, which may considerably influence wear limit.
