TIRE PRESSURE GENERAL MAINTENANCE
72
To help ensure safe and dependable operation of this vehicle, proper tire care and tire pressure is essential. Maintain tire pressures in accordance with the tire manufactures’ recommendations. Maximum tire pressure and load can be found on the tire side wall.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems operated off-highway or in severe service applications can require additional maintenance. Tire and wheel servicing can be dangerous and must be done only by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures. Re-inflation of any type of tire and wheel assembly that has been operated in a run-flat or under-inflated condition (80% or less of recommended operating pressure) can result in serious injury or death. The tire may be damaged on the inside and can explode during inflation. The wheel parts may be worn, damaged, or dislodged and can explosively separate.
NOTICE
VOID AREAS
Void areas on this trailer are not tool boxes or storage areas. Damage could occur to the air and electric components if used otherwise.
ELECTRICAL - GATE CLOSURE
Disconnecting the electric supply will cause gate closure.
FIFTH WHEEL PLATE
A new trailer may not have grease on the fifth wheel plate. It is the driver’s responsibility to grease this connection. Use of excessively worn, bent, or damaged kingpins - or kingpins which are of improper height - is dangerous since strength and the ability to couple with the tractor fifth wheel is adversely affected. FIFTH WHEEL PLATE FASTENERS MUST BE KEPT TIGHT. Use properly torqued 1/2” diameter, Grade-8 bolts and nuts with hardened washers. Contact the factory of origin for the correct replacement fasteners. Do not reuse fasteners once removed.
