WARNING!
Risk of accidents and component damage

– carry out and have authorised the respective changes to the capacity data plates,
decals and stickers as well as the operator and service manuals.
– attach permanent and clearly visible marking to the truck indicating the types of
changes made, the date of the changes and the name and address of the
organisation responsible for the work.

Only original spare parts are subject to the manufacturer's quality control. To ensure
safe and reliable operation, use only the manufacturer's spare parts.
