Inspection, Service & Maintenance 10.2.1.15 Tilt Deck Trailers Pump grease into the tilt deck hinge grease fittings every month. Park the trailer on a firm and level surface. Raise the tilt deck and place the safety prop (1) in the upright position. Lower the deck onto the safety prop. The safety prop (1) must engage the receiver (2). Tilt Deck Trailer Safety Prop Engaged Pump grease into the fittings on each end of the cylinder and at each pivot point of the scissor mechanism. The number of grease fittings and location on the scissor mechanism will vary by trailer model. HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR Check fluid level prior to using the trailer. The reservoir (1) is located inside the battery box. (Box on the tongue of the trailer illustrated in figure below.) The dump body must be fully lowered before checking fluid level. The reservoir should be filled to the full mark on the side of the reservoir. Fluid ejecting from the reservoir could indicate a low battery. (If the battery is not fully charged, the hydraulic pump will lose pressure causing hydraulic fluid to flow back into the hydraulic reservoir, overfilling the reservoir.) KTI recommends using a premium hydraulic oil to ensure optimum performance and system life. Select oil that has anti-wear properties, rust and oxidation inhibitors, foam inhibitors and good stability. Examples of premium grade hydraulic oils: Chevron Rando HDZ, Mobil DTE 10, DTE 20 series, AMSOIL, and Shell Tellus. Automotive Transmission Oils are acceptable under normal conditions. Aviation Oils such as Valvoline ROYCO series or Mobil Aero HF or HFA may be used in prolonged, extreme cold environments. 164
