Axle Inspection
Check hub gaskets and seals for oil leaks before each trip. Leaking seals can result in
ruined wheel bearings and possible failure of the axle-wheel assembly.
Check oil level in hubs before every trip. Add oil when low, only to the level indicated
by mark on the hub cap. CAUTION! Too much oil can damage the wheel bearings.
Use a gear type oil: SAE 140 if temperature is above freezing, SAE 90 if temperature
is below freezing, or a multipurpose oil with an SAE range of 85 to 140 for year round
conditions.
AXLE ALIGNMENT
Axle alignment must be checked at regular intervals. If the trailer is not following
properly, this should be reported to the Maintenance Department.
NOTE:
See Axle/Suspension manual pages for alignment procedures.
