2.2 Intended use
Intended use includes the observance of

observance of the maintenance intervals
and conditions prescribed therein.
KRONE swap bodies are intended exclus-
ively for transportation purposes in compli-
ance with applicable laws, rules and regu-
lations.
Operational reliability is only guaranteed if
all instructions, settings, and limitations ap-
plicable to the swap body are fully com-
plied with.
The swap body is produced with state-of-
the-art manufacturing systems in compli-
ance with all applicable safety-related laws,
rules, and regulations. Nevertheless, oper-
ation of the swap body involves dangers
for life and limb of the operator and other
personnel or risks of damage to the swap
body and other material damage.
► Swap bodies are only to be operated if
in perfect condition and only as inten-
ded, with awareness of safety and
hazards, and in compliance with the
operation instructions.
► Have any faults that could impair
safety immediately repaired by an au-
thorised specialist workshop.
For swap bodies with telematics unit, the
following also applies:
The KRONE Smart Collect Solar telematics
unit sends the collected data to the
KRONE server (KRONE Telematics Portal
and device management). The status and
position data for the swap body can be
called up through the portal.
