Regular inspections of the Trailer Jockey will help increase its
service life. Inspections before after operation and at regular
preventive maintenance intervals will disclose minor mainte-
nance problems and the operator should report any problems
he is aware of at the end of each shift. If all minor mainte-
nance and service is performed promptly as it becomes neces-
sary, major maintenance should seldom be required.
