Maintenance and Lubrication
This section contains instructions necessary for proper
maintenance of the trailer. The 345D trailer is designed
for years of service with minimal maintenance. However,
proper maintenance is important for durability and safe
operation and is an owner/user responsibility.
DANGER
Maintenance Schedule
Trailer maintenance includes periodic inspection and
lubrication.
, lists the
recommended maintenance and lubrication tasks by time
interval and by accumulated mileage (use whichever
occurs first).
Inspection
1.
Inspect the tractor, the trailer, and trailer parts
periodically for damage or signs of pending failure.
Damaged or broken parts must be repaired or
replaced at once. Determine the cause of any
binding or hydraulic leakage at once. Correct the
problem before using the tractor or trailer.
2.
Use the Troubleshooting Guide to check for
“SYMPTOMS” and “PROBLEMS” of any trailer
system not functioning correctly, or where wear,
distortion, or breakage are found. Administer
“REMEDY” according to the right-hand column of the
Troubleshooting Guide.
Lubrication
Table 4-1 and Figure 4-1
details lubrication points and
intervals, method of application, and lubricant required,
and illustrates the location of each part to be lubricated.
During inspections of the trailer, if lubricants are found to
be fouled with dirt or sand, those parts should be cleaned
with paint thinner, dried, and relubricated immediately.
Dirt in a lubricant forms an abrasive compound that will
wear parts rapidly.
WARNING
Maintenance Procedures
Standard Torque Values
lists torque values for standard
hardware and is intended as a guide for average
applications involving typical stresses and mechanical
surfaces. Values are based on the physical limitations of
clean, plated, and lubricated hardware. In all cases,
when an individual torque value is specified, it takes
priority over values given in this table. Replace original
fasteners with hardware of equal grade.
Operating the tractor or trailer with defective,
broken or missing parts may result in serious
injury or death; damage to the tractor/trailer, its
cargo, or property in its path.
Paint thinner and other solvents are flammable
and toxic to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
Avoid skin and eye contact. Good general
ventilation is normally adequate. Keep away from
open flames or other combustible items.
