IMPORTANT NOTES 3

7

3.1

Manufacturer warranty, implied warranty

The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out in a WP Authorized Center only, since other-
wise no warranty claims will be recognized. Damage or secondary damage caused by tampering with and/or
conversions on the chassis component are not covered by the manufacturer warranty.

3.2

Fuel, auxiliary substances

The fuel and auxiliary substances specified in the Owner's Manual must be used in accordance with the speci-
fications.

3.3

Spare parts, accessories

For your safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by WP
and have them installed in a WP Authorized Center. WP accepts no liability for other products and any resulting
damage or loss.
Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your WP Autho-
rized Center will be pleased to advise you.

3.4

Service

A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work
is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the chassis and
suspension can lead to damage and breakage of components.
Use of the chassis component under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can
lead to considerably more rapid wear. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before
the next scheduled service.
It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a
much longer service life for your chassis component.

3.5

Figures

The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment.
In the interest of clarity, some components may be shown disassembled or may not be shown at all. It is not
always necessary to disassemble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instruc-
tions in the text.

3.6

Customer service

If you have any questions about your chassis component or WP, your WP Authorized Center will be pleased to
advise you.

A list of WP Authorized Centers can be found on the WP website.
