onto the market by us, the vehicle com-
plies with the applicable basic safety
and health requirements stipulated in
the EC Directive (refer to the Declarati-
on of Conformity). This declaration is no
longer considered valid in the event of
modifications to the vehicle not authori-
zed by us. The manufacturer is not de-
emed liable for any damage resulting
from unauthorized modifications to the
vehicle.
Notes on warranty
The terms defined in the purchase
agreement apply. Claims for compen-
sation related to damage are excluded
from the terms of warranty when the da-
mage is the result of failure to observe
regulations concerning service and
maintenance. Maintenance work must
be performed at authorized Hako ser-
vice centers and confirmed in the
“Maintenance Report” which serves as
a warranty logbook.
The following are excluded from the
terms of warranty: wear and tear
through overuse, defective fuses, im-
proper handling or unauthorized modi-
fications. Claims under the terms of
warranty are annulled when damage
occurs to the vehicle resulting from the
use of parts or accessories not explicitly
approved by us or from failure to obser-
ve maintenance regulations.
Acceptance of the vehicle
The vehicle must be inspected directly
after delivery for signs of transport da-
mage. Replacement will be made when
confirmation is provided immediately by
the German Federal Railway (Deutsche
Bahn AG) or the freight carrier with re-
gard to the damage and the damage re-
port is sent to us together with the
consignment note:
