Disclaimer
Any liability of the manufacturer becomes null and void if:
– the trailer and its components are altered without
authorization.
– Original parts or conversion parts / accessories
approved by Humbaur GmbH are replaced by other
components.
– retrospective changes have been made to the trailer
(e.g. new drill holes in the frame or the reboring of
existing drill holes in the frame). This is considered by
Humbaur GmbH to be a structural change, and the type
approval therefore becomes null and void.
– Non-approved accessories or third-party spare /
component parts which are not original HUMBAUR
parts are attached or installed. The type approval of the
trailer, possibly even the insurance cover, becomes null
and void.
– care and maintenance intervals prescribed by the
manufacturer are not complied with.
Any risks and liability exclusions resulting from this also
exist if:
– Acceptance inspections have been carried out by
inspectors / authorised experts of the technical
inspection authorities or officially recognised
organisations.
– Official approvals are available.
