Trailer Body Maintenance
Locks and Latches
Locks need regular maintenance to ensure they operate correctly and stay free from corrosion. Diligent use of WD40
or Inox will help in this regard. Both locks and latches need to be checked for adjustment to ensure correct seal
compression.
Rubber Seals
Rubber seals are critical in reducing or eliminating dust and water ingress. Damaged or worn seals should be replaced
immediately. Seals that are overly compressed will stay flattened and be less effective. (See maintenance schedule)
Sealants
Regular checking of sealants will help avoid any likelihood of water ingress on your trailer. Off road use can cause
mechanical damage to seals from vegetation and stones striking the trailer body. 6 monthly inspections should be
undertaken, and any necessary repairs made.
Mechanical Maintenance
WARNING – Failing to maintain your trailer adequately COULD result
in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored. Maintain
according to the maintenance schedule as a minimum requirement.
WARNING
Wheels and Tires
Tires should be checked for damage prior to each trip. Inspect for adequate tread depth and any damage particularly
to sidewalls. Wheel nuts must be checked with a torque wrench. When picking up your new trailer check the wheel nut
torque at 25, 50, 100 and 300 miles. Check before each trip and daily when traveling for longer periods. Do not over
tighten, always use a torque wrench to ensure accuracy.
Brakes
The electric brakes on your trailer are a drum type. Drum brakes require regular adjustment to ensure even pad
wear and proper performance. This is an important safety item. The recommended maximum interval for checking
adjustment is 3000 miles.
Brake Adjustment
Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 150 miles of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated,” (2) at
3000 mile intervals, (3) or as use and performance requires.
Never crawl under your trailer unless it is resting on properly placed jack stands. Do not place
supports on any part of the suspension system and use the designated jack point or under the
spring base plate to jack trailer.
Brake Cleaning and Inspection
Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at 3000 miles or more often as required by use and performance.
Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored to avoid inefficient vehicle braking.
Brake Lubrication
This should only be done by qualified persons.
