Tire Maintenance 

  

 

 

 

Wheel Torque Requirements 

At least once each week, use an accurate tire 
pressure gage to check the air pressure in all 
four trailer tires. Inflate to the pressure 
recommended by the tire manufacturer (located 
on the tire). 

 

It is extremely important to apply and maintain 
proper wheel mounting torque on your axle. 

Wheel nuts should be retorqued after 50 miles 
and 100 miles and periodically there after. 

 

Low or uneven tire pressures will not properly 
support a loaded trailer and could lead to 
premature tire wear. 

When replacing tires, it is important to use a tire 
of appropriate size and load rating (75D-15). 

Failure to maintain proper torque on the lug 
nuts may result in the wheel shearing off of the 
trailer, possibly causing an accident and 
seriously damaging the equipment. 

 

 

 

 

The tightening of the lug nuts should be torqued 
in the sequence above. 

Lug nuts should be torqued in stages: 

  Stage 1            Stage 2              Stage 3 

25 Ft-Lbs          60 Ft-Lbs          100 Ft-Lbs 

This procedure should be followed after each 
time the tire is removed. 

 

 

Lubrication (every 6 months) 

Lubricate the following parts with clean motor oil

 or wheel bearing grease 

where shown.  

For additional brake operating and service instructions, refer to the Surge Brake Actuator Manual 
provided with the trailer. 

NOTE:

  Be sure that no grease is applied to brake pad.
