12 Maintenance

Chapter overview

This chapter contains instructions about official inspections and inspection
and maintenance work in the vehicle.
At the end of the chapter you will find important instructions on how to obtain
spare parts.

12.1 Official

inspections

Depending on the national legislative provisions, the following official inspec-
tions must be carried out periodically:



Main inspection



Emissions test



Inspection of the gas system

The inspection intervals in accordance with the national legislative provi-
sions must be adhered to. The inspection stickers attached to the vehicle
indicate when the next inspection is required.



Any changes on the gas system must be carried out by an authorised
specialist workshop.



Even in the case of vehicles that are not registered, an inspection of the
gas system is required.

12.2 Inspection

work

Like any technical appliance, the vehicle must be inspected at regular inter-
vals.
This inspection work must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Special technical knowledge, which cannot be taught within the framework
of this instruction manual, is required for these tasks. Personnel possessing
this technical knowledge are available for assistance at all service centres.
Their experience and regular technical instruction by the factory as well as
equipment and tools guarantee expert and up-to-date inspection of the vehi-
cle.
The service centre in charge will confirm the work performed.
Have chassis inspections confirmed in the chassis manufacturer's customer
service booklet.



Observe the inspections indicated by the manufacturer and have them
carried out at the specified intervals. The value of the vehicle is thus pre-
served.



The confirmation of the inspection work carried out serves as valid proof
in the event of damage and guarantee claims.
