1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ATTACHMENTS
All maintenance on our lift trucks must be carried out using original parts.
By allowing non-original parts to be used, you run the risk:
 Legally, of being liable in the event of an accident.
 Technically, of causing breakdowns to occur or of reducing your lift truck's service life.
 Using counterfeit parts or components not approved by the manufacturer may put an end to
contract warranty terms and lead the maker to withdraw the lift truck's certificate of compliance.
By using original parts during maintenance operations, you are legally covering yourself.
 Any user who procures parts from another quarter does so at his own risk.
 Any user who modifies his lift truck or has it modified by a service company, must consider that
a new item of equipment has been brought into the market and therefore takes liability for it.
 Any user who copies original parts or has them copied is taking a risk from the legal viewpoint.
 The certificate of compliance only binds the maker for parts chosen or produced under the
maker's control.
 The practicalities of maintenance terms are set out by the maker. The maker is in no way liable in
the event of the user not complying with such terms.
The manufacturer brings to the user:
 His know-how and skill.
 Guaranteed quality work.
 Original replacement parts.
 Help with preventive maintenance.
 Effective help with diagnosing faults.
 Enhancements gained from feedback.
 Training for operating staff.
 Only the manufacturer knows the details of the lift truck design and therefore has the best
technological capability to carry out maintenance.
Original replacement parts are distributed exclusively by SUNWARD and its dealer network.

who does use another method must first ensure that he is not putting himself, another person or
