10.1 General information
10. Repairs
Servicing may only be carried out by the manufacturer or personnel trained by the
manufacturer and by authorised HURST dealers.
Only HURST spare parts may be used to replace all components (see spare parts list) since
special tools, assembly advice, safety aspects, inspections might have to complied with (see
also chapter “Maintenance and Service”).
During assembly, ensure the complete cleanliness of all components, since dirt can
damage the rescue equipment!
WARNING / CAUTION!
Protective clothes must be worn when repairs are being carried out, since parts
of the units can also be pressurised in an idle state.
REMARK:
Register your tool on the HURST website. Only then are you entitled to the
extended guarantee.
REMARK:
Before you use couplings from a different company, you must contact HURST
or an authorised dealer.
CAUTION!
Because HURST rescue equipments are appropriate for highest achievements,
only components may be exchanged, which are specified in the spare parts list
of the appropriate equipment.
Further components of the equipment may only be exchanged, when:
- you have participated on a appropriate HURST service training.
- you have the explicit permission of the HURST Service department (After
inquiry, an examination for the distribution of permission is being carried out. An
examination in each individual case is necessary!)
