Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical compo-
nents of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the trailer
wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are prop-
erly matched.
Tires Wear/Inflation
Grease Fittings (Zerk) Maintenance (Electric Motor)
1.
There are two grease (Figure 33) fittings at each end of the
electric motor that will require lubrication. Lubricate these
fittings
about
every 16 months
.
2.
Use Poleyrex EM (Exxon Mobil) or equalivant lubricant.
Clean grease fitting, apply grease gun to fitting (1/2 shot).
Remember too much grease or injecting grease too quickly
can cause premature bearing failure. Slowly apply the
recommended amount of grease, taking a miniute or so to
apply.

Table 9 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire
life. Pressure should be checked cold before operation.
DO
NOT
bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation
pressure weekly during use to insure maximum tire life and
tread wear.
DO NOT
attempt to repair or modify a
wheel.
DO NOT
install an inter-tube to
correct a leak through the rim. If the
rim is cracked, the air pressure in the
inter-tube may cause pieces of the rim to explode (break-
off) with great force and can cause serious eye or bodily
injury.
