MAYCO LS300G CONCRETE PUMP • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #2 (09/09/19) — PAGE 53

TRAILER MAINTENANCE

Periodically check the actuator mounting fasteners for 

damage or loosening. Inspect the actuator for worn or 

damaged parts. As you are towing your trailer, be aware 

of any changes in braking quality. This could be an early 

warning of brake or actuator malfunction and requires 

immediate attention. Consult a certified brake specialist to 

make necessary adjustment or repairs

ADJUSTABLE CHANNEL

Your trailer may be equipped with an adjustable channel 

(Figure 58) that allows the coupler to be raised or lowered 

to a desired height. Periodically check the channel bolts 

for damage or loosening.

  WARNING

Failure to maintain proper fluid level in the actuator 

may result in loss of braking action which could cause 

severe property damage, injury or death.

NOTICE

When replacing channel mounting hardware (nuts, 

bolts and washers), 

NEVER

 substitute substandard 

hardware. Pay close attention to 

bolt length

 and 

grade

ALWAYS

 use manufacturer’s recommended parts 

when replacing channel mounting hardware.

Figure 58. Adjustable Channel

Wheel Bearings

Wheel bearings (Figure 58) must be inspected and 

lubricated once a year or every 12,000 miles to ensure 

safe operation of your trailer.
If trailer wheel bearings are immersed in water, they must 

be replaced.

If the trailer has not been used for an extended amount 

of time, have the bearings inspected and packed more 

frequently, at least every six months and prior to use.
Follow the steps below to disassemble the wheel hub and 

service the wheel bearings. See Figure 59.

  DANGER

If trailer wheels are underwater for a long period of 

time, wheel bearings may fail. If this is the case, service 

wheel bearings immediately.
The possibility exists of the wheels falling off causing 

equipment damage and severe bodily harm or even 

death!
