6 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
6.1 WINCH
See winch manual for maintenance and servicing requirements.
6.2 AXLE BRAKES AND TYRES
The brakes fitted are the auto reverse type to make towing easier. The
maintenance of the drum brakes should be undertaken by trained personnel only,
and adjusted when necessary to ensure the drums just run clear when the wheel is
rotated in a forward direction only. It is important to keep these adjusted every 6
months, as too large a drum movement can affect the performance of the auto
reverse facility and parking brake.
After adjusting the drum brakes, remove any slack in the operating system by
loosening the lock nut and tightening the pull rod, but without pre loading brakes
(check this again by rotating each wheel in a forward direction).
The tyres should be kept at the correct pressure (refer to section 4 for details) and
checked weekly, the tyres should be checked daily for damage prior to use of the
trailer.
The linkage mechanism should be oiled weekly to ensure smooth operation and to
protect from moisture.
Check the condition of the brake cables weekly, replace if frayed or damaged.
Apply alight oil as required to ensure cables move freely.
6.3 SERVICING
Tow-eye and Axle:
a) Apply grease to ball and to cup of ball head after cleaning each item.
(Alternatively towing eye and jaw if fitted). This to be carried out each time the
trailer is to be towed.
b) Oil all moving parts weekly having wiped away all corrosion and dirt deposits.
c) Every 3,000 miles or 3 months, or as necessary, apply grease gun to grease
nipples fitted to the coupling using general purpose grease.
d) After first 500 miles, then every 3,000 miles (or more often if required), adjust
wheel brakes at back plate adjusting points, to take up any wear. Follow brake
manufacturers appropriate instructions in this respect.
NOTE: do not adjust for brake wear anywhere other than at the wheel brakes
themselves. An indication of break wear will be given by increased handbrake travel.
