Intense usage
Like all mechanical components, Veleon is exposed to heavy stress and thus is subject to wear and
tear. Different materials and components can react differently to the exposure regarding wear and
tiredness. If the life span of a component is exceeded, the part can fail suddenly and lead to serious
injuries. All kinds of cracks, scratches or changes of color in highly stressed areas are an indicator that
the life span has been reached and that the part has to be replaced.
