Sensor for indication of brake pad wear

If an electronic wear indicator was installed in your trailer: This
indicator can let a warning light come on in your instrument clus-

an acoustic warning). In no case is this type of wear indicator a
substitute for the specified regular tests in accordance with the

Prerequisites for warranty

Please observe the notes in these guidelines as well as the notes
of the trailer manufacturer on the proper operation of your axle
system as well as on possible vehicle damage.

Your warranty claims can be further limited,

−− If you use faulty/low-quality replacement parts.
−− If you use special additives. Special lubricant additives are
not required for DCA trailer axles.
−− If you use cleaning agents that do not have a neutral pH
value that might destroy the corrosion protection.

Warranty processing
Make sure to submit your warranty claim prior to the repair.
You can submit your warranty claim directly to JOST Achsen Sys-
teme. For additional questions regarding warranties, contact one
of the country specific points of contact that are listed on page 67
of this Guideline.

Observe the guideline for warranty processing on the

www.jost-axle-systems.com website under menu item Service.
Observe the link to the download area. This is where you will find
claim forms and claim conditions.
