GENERAL MAINTENANCE
FASTENERS FLOOR
Your Merritt Gooseneck trailer is constructed
with aluminum tread plate floors to reduce
slipping. Never use sand or abrasive materials
for animal bedding as this will cause excessive
floor wear. The most important part of floor
maintenance is cleaning.
Floors, deck rails, coupler assemblies,
and tandem sub-assemblies are attached
to the trailer with zinc plated and
stainless steel fasteners.
Inspect monthly that all zinc plated
fasteners are in place. If any are
missing or loose, they should be
replaced immediately.
WHEEL BEARINGS
GATE AND RAMP HINGES
Wheel bearings and cups should be inspected for
corrosion or wear every 12 months or 12,000
miles. Bearing adjustment and proper lubrication
is essential to the function and reliability of your
trailer axles. Please refer to the Dexter Axle
“Operations Maintenance Service Manual” for
the proper lubricant specifications.
When new bearings are needed, they must
always be replaced in sets of a cone and a
cup.
Gate, door and ramp hinges are provided
with grease fittings. They should be
lubricated on a regular basis in order to
avoid unnecessary wear.
