1.3
Maintenance
Maintenance is a guide to equipment care. Regular maintenance means:
Less likelihood of equipment failure and down-time for repairs
Greater reliability of operating
Improved safety of personnel and public
As with all mechanical equipment, routine maintenance is best practice to preserve the
life of the PCMS unit and to ensure that it is running safely and properly.
Because PCMS units are generally stationary for relatively long periods of time in
tough worksite environments, maintenance tasks focus mainly on prevention and
removal of rust and corrosion.
Maintenance tasks are recommended at least once a year. Thorough maintenance is
especially recommended before the PCMS unit goes into long-term storage or after
hard use.
NOTE
Lack of maintenance can invalidate any and all guarantee provisions.
Before undertaking any of the maintenance procedures in this manual please list the
following:
1. Model of the PCMS unit.
2. Braking system (
hydraulic
,
electric
or
none
) on the trailer.
3. Type of hitch/coupler (
pintle/lunette ring
or
ball-type
) on the trailer.
