READERS’ GUIDE - PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
MACHINERY CARRIERS
47
IMPORTANT:
It is the trailer owners responsibility to
ensure maintenance is carried out at regular intervals
by competent personnel!
A conscientious driver has a direct contribution to make
regarding preventive maintenance, through their ability to
recognise faults and inform maintenance personnel
accordingly.
To assist with this, a list of checks is included in this
section.
It should be remembered that one prime mover could
be coupled to several semi-trailers in the course of a
working day and that each trailer should therefore be
checked before use.
The remainder of this section contains sufficient technical
information to cover maintenance during the first four
weeks of trailer operation, followed by preventative
maintenance charts to assist workshop staff with future
planned servicing.
IMPORTANT:
Before carrying out any maintenance it is
important the operator understands the need to wear
correct safety clothing and the need to use relevant safety
equipment.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing. Extra safety equipment
including hard hat, safety shoes, ear, eye or face protection,
heavy gloves and reflective clothing may be necessary.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in personal
injury.
IMPORTANT:
This handbook does NOT cover detailed
assembly/disassembly of components. For further
information please refer to the specific manufacturer's
maintenance manual.
