Appendix
Compulsory inspection of tacho-
graphs
The vehicle owner is obliged to have the
installed Kienzle MTCO 1324 inspected at
regular intervals.
At least once every two years, the proper
operation of the tachograph has to be
tested, e.g. in conjunction with the technical
inspection of your vehicle.
Please ensure that the installation plate is
replaced at each inspection and contains
the information required.
Maintenance and cleaning
The Kienzle MTCO 1324 is equipped with
modern, maintenance-free technology. For
this reason, preventive maintenance work is
not required.
In case they are dirty, you may clean the
housing, the display and the function keys
by means of a slightly moistened cloth. In
case this proves not sufficient, special
cleaning or preservative agents for plastics
may also be used.
