MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Maintenance Procedures
Tools and Equipment
Tools, equipment, and personnel normally found in a
facility capable of making truck repairs will be adequate
for maintenance of the semitrailer. No other special tools
or equipment should be necessary.
Standard Torque Values
Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 lists torque values for standard
hardware and is intended as a guide for average
applications involving typical stresses and mechanical
surfaces. Values are based on the physical limitations of
clean, plated, and lubricated hardware. In all cases, when
an individual torque value is specified, it takes priority
over values given in this table. Replace original fasteners
with hardware of equal grade.

WARNING
Cleaning
1. Wash semitrailer to remove all accumulated dirt and
grime.
2. Use any mineral spirits paint thinner (or its
equivalent) to remove grease and oil from all parts of
the semitrailer. Rinse degreasing solution off with
cold water.
3. Inspect semitrailer for cause of any reported troubles.
4. Scrape, sand, prime, and repaint areas where finish
is missing or where there is evidence of corrosion.
5. After disassembling any components, thoroughly
clean dirt and old lubricant from all parts. Do not use
a wire brush on any bearing parts or surfaces — use
a stiff bristle brush. Do not use compressed air, or
spin bearing parts when cleaning. These practices
can throw solvents, dirt, or metal particles into your
eyes. Dry clean parts with lint free, clean, soft,
absorbent, cloth or paper. Wash and dry hands.
6. Inspect seals, seal wiping surfaces, bearing caps,
and bearing cones for wear, pitting, chipping, or other
damage.
Hitch, Frame, and Deck
Repairing Structural Defects
If any structural defect is found, the fault must be
corrected before further use of the vehicle. To continue
usage could endanger the semitrailer, its load, personnel,
traffic, and properties. Inspect the deck daily for broken or
missing planks or missing attachments. Replace any
defective parts promptly.
Wood Deck Care
Inspect the deck weekly for broken or missing planks or
missing attachments. Replace any defective parts
promptly.
Over time, the deck may become damaged from sunlight
and high temperatures. Prevention from weather damage
can be greatly minimized by applying a good water
repellent that contains a UV inhibitor to all visible
surfaces of the decking using a hand held roller, or more
preferred, hand held pump up sprayer.
Acceptable wood weather protection products to use
include Thompson’s and Baer’s Water Seal, boiled
linseed oil, and Penofin and Wood Guard by ISK
Biosciences of Memphis, Tennessee. Best results will be
obtained when applied twice annually - spring and fall.
Paint thinner and other solvents are flammable
and toxic to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
Avoid skin and eye contact. Good general
ventilation is normally adequate. Keep away from
open flames or other combustible items.
