4-12 WINCHES
Inspect the winch cable before and after every
usage. If frayed wires, nicks, kinks, worn spots,
breaks or any other sign of deterioration or dam-
age is found, immediate replacement is mandatory
before further usage. If the semitrailer is going to
be out in the weather for any length of time, it is
advisable to oil the winch cable to prevent untimely
rusting and deterioration of the cable.
See Table
4-1
for lubrication specifications.
Inspect the winch mechanism thoroughly each
week to insure safe, efficient operation.
WARNING
DO NOT HANDLE THE WINCH CABLE
WHEN THE WINCH IS IN THE ENGAGE
POSITION. HANDS OR CLOTHING
COULD GET CAUGHT IN THE CABLE
AND BE PULLED INTO THE SPOOL
CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL IN-
JURY.
4-13 CRANK LANDING GEAR (SEE FIGURE 4-21)
4-13.1
The landing gear receives adequate lu-
brication during manufacturing. Relubrication
is possible through grease fittings and is rec-
ommended at three month intervals.
4-13.2
The elevating screw is lubricated by the
lower grease fitting located on the upper
housing. Prior to lubrication, extend the land-
ing gear as far as possible. During lubrica-
tion, slowly retract the landing gear. The up-
per grease fitting lubricates the gearing,
shafts, and bushings. It is recommended to
use a high quality commercial grade lithium
EP-2 grease.

4-13.3
When inspecting the landing gear, any
parts which are subjected to wear or dam-
age, must be checked and replaced if worn
or damaged. The inspection and mainte-
nance intervals must be decreased if the
trailer is operated under arduous transport
conditions.
4-13.4
Repair Instructions
a.
In order to repair landing gear, the legs
should be taken off the trailer by removing the
mounting attachment bolts and cross shaft.
b.
For two speed leg assembly, remove cover
by removing cover screws.
IMPORTANT
THE COVER IS SEALED TO THE UPPER HOUS-
ING WITH A SILICONE SEALANT. WHEN RE-
PLACING THE COVER A SUITABLE SILICONE
SEALANT MUST BE USED. DOW CORNING
#700 OR EQUAL IS RECOMMENDED.
c.
Remove grease before disassembly. Drive
spiral pins from output spur gear and input
gear.
d.
Then drive out output shaft by placing a
punch through hole in output spur gear and
