General safety instructions and regulations
1.1 General
- VALX accepts no liability for any damage or physical injury caused by non-compliance with the safety
instructions and regulations in this manual, or by carelessness during any maintenance or repair task on the
VALX trailer axle.
- Depending on the trailer type, the specific repair or maintenance task(s) that have to be carried out, the
workshop conditions, the environmental circumstances and the cargo that may be loaded, additional safety
instructions may be applicable. As VALX has no direct control over these specific working conditions or
trailer configurations, it is the workshop’s sole responsibility to ensure that the national accident prevention
guidelines and the local Health and Safety regulations are adhered to. Please inform VALX immediately if
you have dealt with unsafe situations that have not been described.
1.2
This manual
- Read this manual thoroughly before performing any maintenance or repair task on the trailer axle.
- Keep this manual for future reference. Retain the manual in a safe place in the workshop.
- Carry out the procedures in the order given. Do not change the order of the steps.
1.3
Decals and instructions on the product
- Decals or instructions fitted on the product are part of the safety features provided. They must not be
covered or removed, but must be present and legible throughout the entire life of the product. Damaged or
illegible decals and instructions must be replaced or repaired immediately.
1.4
Warranty and original VALX parts
- All products of VALX are covered by warranty as stipulated in the “VALX Warranty Conditions”. The

www.valx.eu.
- Modification and / or conversion of the product without the written consent of VALX is not allowed at the
risk of forfeiting all warranty rights.
- When replacing parts, ONLY use original VALX spare parts. Parts approved by VALX for use in the product
periodically undergo severe tests. As a result, VALX is able to warranty the quality of these parts.
- VALX can not assess for every single third-party product whether it can be used for the VALX product
without any safety risk. This applies even if such products have already been tested by an accredited test
authority. Therefore, the VALX warranty becomes null and void if spare parts other than original VALX
parts are used.
1.5

carried out according to the prescribed VALX service intervals (see the maintenance chart in chapter 3), and
