MAINTENANCE
1. Check the tires for any cracks, cuts or
damage. Repair or replace the damaged
tires before towing.
2. Check the air pressure of the trailer tires
when cold. The correct air pressure for the
tire is specified on the tire. Never over or
under inflate tires.
3. Check the wheel rims for any cracks or
damage.
4. Make sure all the lug nuts are in place.
Never tow the trailer with missing or
improperly tightened lug nuts.
5. Check that the lug nuts are tightened
properly. The correct torque for the lug nuts
is 90 lb-ft (122N-m).
6. When torquing the lug nuts, always use a
crisscross pattern.
Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings require periodic maintenance.
More frequent service may be required under
extremely dust or damp operating conditions.
The best protection against failure is to keep
the wheel bearings clean and fully lubricated.
When replacing or repacking wheel bearings,
always:

Use a high quality wheel bearing grease.

Avoid mixing grease types.

Clean all components thoroughly of all
grease and inspect for damage and wear.
Replace as needed.

Always use a new grease seal and cotter
pin.

Keep all components clean during
assembly.

Replace any component that is operationally
questionable.

Pack grease into the bearing before
installing it.
