• Use of spare parts that are not HAULOTTE® originals.
• If elements or products other than those recommended by the manufacturer are used.
• If the HAULOTTE® name, serial numbers or identification marks are removed or altered.
• If the owner or rental company continues to use the machine despite problems.
• If lubricants, hydraulic oils or fuels that do not comply with HAULOTTE® recommendations are used.
• Settings : Adjustments of all sorts may become necessary at any time. Therefore adjustments are
considered a part of normal machine usage conditions and are not covered by the warranty.
• Hydraulic and fuel circuit contamination : Every possible precaution is taken to ensure that fuel and
hydraulic liquid delivered is clean. HAULOTTE® will not accept any claims concerning cleaning of the
fuel circuit, filter, injection pump or any other equipment in direct contact with fuel or lubricants.
• Wearing parts (pads, bearings, tires/tyres, connections, etc.) : These parts are, by definition, subject
to deterioration during the period of operation. Wearing parts will therefore not be covered by the
warranty agreement.
