3-11. Maintenance

NOTE

Do not use trailer if any part is damaged or not working properly. When performing maintenance, check trailer for worn, damaged, or non-working parts. Check for free rotation of assemblies mounted on bushings or bearings.

Replace trailer hardware only with SAE hardware of same grade, type and size as originally installed.

YSupport trailer with jack. Block wheels.

YDo not put any body part un- der trailer while lifting or per- forming maintenance.

Once a year, lubricate all moving parts on trailer with SAE 20W oil. Lubricate more often if trailer is ex- posed to elements or subject to fre- quent off-road use.

1 Wheel Bearings

Every 12,000 miles, check wheel bearings. Repack bearings if nec- essary using a good quality lithium- based extreme pressure grease.

When reinstalling wheels, be sure wheel nuts are properly tightened (see Trailer Towing Safety Precau- tions at beginning of manual).
