TIRE SAFETY

WARNING - Flying Objects

ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing or installing force fitted parts DO NOT attemp to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT install an inner-tube to correct a leak through 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.

Wheel Rims

If the trailer has been struck, or impacted, on or near the wheels, or if the trailer has struck a curb, inspect the rims for damage (i.e. being out of round); and replace any damaged wheel. Inspect the wheels for damage every year, even if no obvious impact has occurred.

Wheels, Bearings and Lug Nuts

A loose, worn or damaged wheel bearing is the most common cause of brakes that grab.

To check wheel bearings, jack trailer and check wheels for side-to-side looseness. If the wheels are loose, or spin with a wobble, the bearings must be serviced or replaced. Check inflation pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear.Most trailer axles are built with sealed bearings that are not serviceable. Sealed bearings must be replacedas complete units.

NEVER! use an pneumatic

NOTE air gun to tighten wheel lug nuts.

Lug Nut Torque Requirements

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the fas- teners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper pro- cedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:

1.Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.

2.Torque all lug nuts in sequence.See Figure 36. DO NOT torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down.Tighten each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 9.

3.Check to see if the lug nuts are tight after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and before each tow thereafter.

WARNING - Lug NutTightening

Over-tightening lug nuts will result in breaking the studs or permanently deforming the mounting stud holes in the wheels.

WARNING - Lug Nut Inspection

Lug nuts are prone to loosen after initial installation, which can lead to death or serious injury. Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.

The Multiquip MP series of vibratory plate compactors, including models MP200DLTS, MP200DLTE, MP150SDLTE, P200DLST, and MP200SDLTE, are engineered for exceptional performance in compaction tasks across a variety of applications. These models are vital for contractors seeking efficiency, power, and reliability in the field.

The MP200DLTS and MP200DLTE models are particularly noteworthy for their robust design and versatility. Both are equipped with a powerful engine that delivers high centrifugal force, allowing operators to achieve effective compaction on different soil types. Their durable construction ensures longevity, even in demanding environments. The MP200DLTS features a dual-direction capability for increased maneuverability, while the MP200DLTE is designed for heavier-duty tasks and larger areas.

For users looking for a slightly more compact solution, the MP150SDLTE is a standout choice. This model combines portability with power, making it ideal for smaller jobs or confined spaces. It excels in providing precise compaction where larger equipment may struggle, while still maintaining high performance standards.

The P200DLST model offers enhanced features such as a heavy-duty baseplate designed to offer increased stability and excellent surface contact. This contributes to better results when compacting asphalt or granular materials, making it a preferred choice for road construction and repair projects.

Finally, the MP200SDLTE boasts advanced technology that enriches its operational capabilities. With an integrated vibration control system, users can adjust the compaction force on the fly, allowing for tailored performance based on specific job requirements. Its ergonomic handle design enhances user comfort, reducing fatigue during extended use.

Safety is also a priority in these models, with features such as protective guards and emergency stop buttons, ensuring that operators can work confidently. The overall combination of power, versatility, and innovative features makes the Multiquip MP series an essential tool for contractors in both construction and landscaping sectors.

In summary, whether it’s the heavy-duty capabilities of the MP200 series or the compact efficiency of the MP150SDLTE, Multiquip's offerings deliver outstanding performance, making them ideal for various compaction tasks. The robust engineering and thoughtful features provide users with the reliability needed in today’s competitive marketplace.
