4 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
4-1 GENERAL
This section contains instructions necessary for
proper maintenance of the trailer. The trailer is de-
signed for years of service with minimal mainte-
nance. However, proper maintenance is important
for durability and safe operation and is an
owner/user responsibility.
4-2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Trailer maintenance includes periodic inspection
and lubrication.
Table 4-2, Maintenance Sched-
ule , lists the recommended maintenance and lubri-
cation tasks by time interval and by accumulated
mileage (use whichever occurs first).
4-2.1 Inspection
DANGER
OPERATING THE TRUCK OR TRAILER
WITH DEFECTIVE, BROKEN OR MISS-
ING PARTS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH; DAMAGE TO THE
TRUCK/TRAILER, ITS CARGO, OR
PROPERTY IN ITS PATH.
Inspect the towing vehicle, the trailer, and trailer
parts periodically for damage or signs of pending
failure. Damaged or broken parts must be repaired
or replaced at once. Determine the cause of any
binding, at once. Correct the problem before using
the towing vehicle or trailer.
4-2.2
Lubrication. See Table 4-1 for lubricant
required for axles. During inspections of the
trailer, if lubricants are found to be fouled
with dirt or sand, those parts should be
cleaned with solvent, dried, and relubricated
immediately. Dirt in a lubricant forms an
abrasive compound that will wear parts rap-
idly.
WARNING
PAINT THINNER AND OTHER SOL-
VENTS ARE FLAMMABLE AND TOXIC
TO THE EYES, THE SKIN, AND THE
RESPIRATORY TRACT. AVOID SKIN
AND EYE CONTACT. GOOD GENERAL
VENTILATION IS NORMALLY ADE-
QUATE. KEEP AWAY FROM OPEN
FLAMES OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE
ITEMS.
