๐Ÿ”ง Maintenance
Service Intervals
Wheel Bearing Inspection:
Inspect annually or every 12,000 miles (whichever comes first). Repack with grease as needed.
Tire Pressure Check:
Check before each use and maintain recommended pressure (indicated on tire sidewall).
Brake System Check:
Inspect brake components (drums, pads, actuators, lines) annually for wear and proper function.
Lighting System Check:
Check all lights for proper operation before each use.

Brake Fluid:
If hydraulic surge brakes are used with a master cylinder, DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is typically specified.
Known Issues
Frame Fatigue:
Over time, welds or structural joints can fatigue due to vibration and load stress. Regular inspection for cracks is advisable.
Electrical Corrosion:
Connections in trailer wiring harnesses can corrode, leading to lighting failures. Use of dielectric grease and proper sealing is crucial.
Suspension Wear:
Bushings in leaf spring suspensions can wear out, leading to a rougher ride and potential instability. Torsion axles can lose their dampening properties over extended periods.
Brake Adjustment:
Electric brake shoes may require periodic adjustment for optimal performance. Surge brake actuators can seize if not maintained.
