trailer maintenance

WARNING

Failure to maintain proper fluid level in the actuator may result in loss of braking action which could cause severe property damage, injury or death.

Periodically check the actuator mounting fasteners for damage or loosening. Inspect the actuator for worn or damaged parts. As you are towing your trailer, be aware of any changes in braking quality. This could be an early warning of brake or actuator malfunction and requires immediate attention. Consult a certified brake specialist to make necessary adjustment or repairs

Adjustable Channel

Your trailer may be equipped with an adjustable channel (Figure 62) that allows the coupler to be raised or lowered to a desired height. Periodically check the channel bolts for damage or loosening.

NOTICE

When replacing channel mounting hardware (nuts, bolts and washers), NEVER substitute substandard hardware. Pay close attention to bolt length and grade. ALWAYS use manufacturer's recommended parts when replacing channel mounting hardware.

Wheel Bearings

Wheel bearings (Figure 62) must be inspected and lubricated once a year or 12,000 miles to insure safe operation of your trailer.

If trailer wheel bearings are immersed in water, they must be replaced.

DANGER

If trailer wheels are under water for a long period of time, wheel bearings may fail. If this is the case, service wheel bearings immediately.

The possibility exists of the wheels falling off causing equipment damage and severe bodily harm even death!

If the trailer has not been used for an extended amount of time, have the bearings inspected and packed more frequently, at least every six months and prior to use.

Follow the steps below to disassemble the wheel hub and service the wheel bearings. See Figure 63.
