TRAILER MAINTENANCE

Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts

Tires and wheels are a very important and critical components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched.

CAUTION - EYESIGHT HAZARD

ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing or installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

CAUTION - REPAIRING TRAILER WHEELS

DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT install in inner tube to correct a leak through the rim. If the rim is cracked, the air pressure in the inner

tube may cause pieces of the rim to explode (break off) with great force and cause serious eye or bodily injury.

TireWear/Inflation

Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life. Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot!. Check inflation pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear.

Table 16 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the causes and solutions of tire wear problems.

Suspension

The leaf suspension springs and associated components (Figure 56) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles for signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts (suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components as detailed in Table 17.

DCA25USI2XF, DCA25USIXF specifications

Multiquip is a renowned name in the construction and industrial equipment sector, known for delivering high-performance generators that cater to various power needs. Two standout models in their lineup are the DCA25USIXF and DCA25USI2XF, both designed for reliability, efficiency, and versatility.

The Multiquip DCA25USIXF is a compact, industrial-grade diesel generator that delivers a powerful 25 kVA, making it ideal for construction sites, outdoor events, and emergency backup applications. This model is powered by a robust Yanmar diesel engine, which ensures high fuel efficiency and low emissions, adhering to stringent environmental standards. The DCA25USIXF features an advanced digital control panel, providing users with an intuitive interface for monitoring performance, voltage output, and operational status. Its sound-attenuated enclosure significantly reduces noise levels, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive areas.

On the other hand, the DCA25USI2XF model takes power generation a step further by offering dual voltage capabilities, allowing users to switch between 120V and 240V outputs. This flexibility makes it highly versatile, catering to a broader range of tools and equipment. Like the DCA25USIXF, the DCA25USI2XF is also equipped with Yanmar’s reliable diesel engine, which contributes to its durability and long service life. Both models come with a heavy-duty frame to withstand tough conditions, ensuring durability on job sites.

The technology implemented in these generators includes automatic voltage regulation (AVR), which stabilizes voltage output, protecting sensitive equipment from power surges. Additionally, the generators feature a low oil shutdown system, which prevents engine damage by automatically shutting down the generator when oil levels are low. This protective measure not only enhances the longevity of the generator but also contributes to safer operation.

In terms of portability, both models are equipped with rugged wheels and a lifting eye, facilitating easy transportation to various job sites. With their combination of power, efficiency, and advanced features, the Multiquip DCA25USIXF and DCA25USI2XF generators are excellent choices for professionals seeking reliable power solutions in demanding environments. Whether for construction, events, or standby power, these generators deliver exceptional performance tailored to meet diverse needs.
