Figure 11. Hydraulic Brake Components
Hydraulic Brakes
If your trailer has a braking system, the brakes should be
inspected the first 200 miles of operation. This will allow the
brake shoes and drums to seat properly. After the first 200
mile interval, inspect the brakes every 3,000 miles. If driv-
ing over rough terrain inspect brakes more frequently.
Normally Hydraulic brakes should not require any special
attention with the exception of routine maintenance such as
shoe and lining replacement. These brakes can be adjusted
in the same manner as electric brakes. Brake lines should
be periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.
Figure 11 display's the major hydraulic brake components
that will require inspection and maintenance. Please inspect
these components as required using steps 1 through 7 Refer-
ence Table 10 for hydraulic brake troubleshooting guidelines.
Hydraulic Brake Adjustment
1.
Place the trailer on jack stands. Make sure that the jack stands
are placed on secure level ground.
2.
Check the wheel and drum for free rotation.
3.
Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot at
the bottom brake backing plate.
4. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the star
wheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake shows.
5. Adjust the brake shoes outward until the pressure of the
lining against the wheel drum makes the wheel difficult to
turn.
6. Rotate the star wheel in the opposite direction until the wheel
rotates freely with slight lining drag.
7. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the trailer to the
ground.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 on the remaining brakes.
