CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BPW CHASSIS
Our warranty becomes null and void if spare
parts other than original BPW parts are used.
Procurement of Spare Parts
The code and type numbers of the axle and
chassis components enable us to quickly
determine your exact spares requirements
when ordering from our BPW agencies and
service stations. It is therefore recommended
that you enter the data showing the type
plate located on the centre of the axle.
Please note: For full maintenance details of
the BPW chassis, undergear and Winterhoff
coupling please refer to the individual
manufacturer’s handbook supplied within
your user information pack.
CARAVAN MOTOR MOVERS
Any motor mover fitted shall comply with the
design, fitment and safety requirements of
NCC Code of Practice 305. The installation of
a motor mover shall be in accordance with
the motor mover manufacturer’s installation
instructions. You should ensure you receive a
signed installation certificate of compliance
from the installer.
Failure to do so may invalidate your
warranty.
The following maintenance instructions relate
to the BPW chassis fitted to your Buccaneer
caravan. They are a constituent part of the
warranty conditions. Adhere to the relevant
operating instructions of the vehicle
manufacturer or of the other vehicle
component manufacturers.
Completion of the maintenance work in
accordance with the prescribed intervals is
essential in order to maintain the operating
safety and roadworthiness of the vehicle.
The correction of any defects found or the
replacement of any worn parts should be
carried out by a BPW after sales service
workshop, unless the vehicle user has at his
disposal appropriately skilled in company
workers and the necessary technical
facilities.
Please note: When installing spare parts, it
is strongly recommended that only original
BPW components are used. Parts approved
by BPW for caravan axles and suspensions
regularly undergo special test procedures
and as a result BPW is able to guarantee
their quality. However, BPW cannot assess
for every single third party product whether it
can be used for BPW caravan axles and
suspensions without any risk to safety. This
applies even if an accredited test authority
has already tested such products.
CATEGORY OF EXPOSURE & DURATION OF PROTECTION
The BPW chassis is protected by a hot dip galvanising process in accordance to
DIN EN ISO 1461. The duration of protection is according to a salt spray test to DIN 50021 standard.
WARNING: Holes must not be made without approval of the chassis manufacturer.
