2.8 Trailers with Tilt Decks
Tilt Deck trailers are designed to
tilt open or tilt closed with one person’s weight.
Outside temperatures can affect the speed the deck tilts at due to effects on the density of the fluid in
the cushion cylinder. Periodic inspections should occur looking for wear, damage or cracked welds.
As an item of routine maintenance apply grease to all grease fittings until fresh grease becomes
visible.
See the appropriate pages of the Parts section of this manual for further information regarding
replacement parts if needed.
Cushion Cylinder
The fluid in the cylinder should be changed if the cylinder has leaked or if the deck action has
become jerky or sluggish. Fully collapse the cylinder, and then remove the filler plug and drain out the
old fluid. Add 10W hydraulic fluid until the cylinder is full and all the air has been expelled.
Deck Latch
The latch assembly is designed with replaceable, self-lubricating bushings at the wear points.
See the appropriate pages of the Parts section of this manual for further information.
Should the deck develop a rattle, adjust the hook receiver assembly on the tilt deck.
Deck Hinge Assembly
The hinge assembly is highly stressed during loading and unloading, so check it for cracked
welds frequently.
Every six months, or sooner if service dictates, grease the deck hinges. Apply grease to the
fittings (one per side) until fresh grease becomes visible.
