e. Replace any missing or illegible decals. Re-
place any missing or damaged reflective tape.
f. Use Troubleshooting Guide to check for
“SYMPTOMS” AND “PROBLEMS” of any
semitrailer system not functioning correctly, or
where wear, distortion, or breakage can be
found. Administer “REMEDY” according to
right-hand column of Troubleshooting guide.
g. After disassembling any components, thor-
oughly 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.
h. Inspect seals, seal wiping surfaces, bearing
caps, and bearing cones for wear, pitting,
chipping, or other damage.

ing planks or missing attachments. Replace any
defective parts promptly.
