9. Maintenance
A. Trailer Maintenance
(1) The trailer has 3 things that require routine maintenance. These are the tires,
the wheel bearings, and the winch.
CAUTION: Never let air out of the tires as they heat-up. The pressure should
be checked when the tires as cold. The pressure will increase as the tires
warm up. This is supposed to happen don’t release any air. Releasing air
could cause the tire to overheat and fail.
(a) Before each trip, you should check the air pressure in the trailer tires.
Make sure the pressure is at the maximum pressure shown on the tires
(usually 50 psi). Check the tire pressure before you tow the trailer a
significant distance. The tires get warm when you tow the trailer and this
will give you an incorrect pressure reading.
(b) Before each trip, make sure the Bearing-Buddy on each wheel is mostly
full of grease. You can tell how full it is by how far the plunger is out.
You can see the plunger move out when you put more grease in through
the grease fitting. Refer to Fig 9-1.
Figure 9-1
(c) Once a year, remove the trailer wheels and hubs and make sure there is no
water in the wheel bearing grease. If you find water, clean the old grease
out and replace it with new grease. If the bearings are rusty, replace them
and their races.
(d) Once a year, oil the moving parts of the trailer winch. Put a small amount
of light oil on each bearing and on the gears.
