Inspection, Service & Maintenance
WHEEL BEARINGS
A loose, worn or damaged wheel bearing is the most common cause of brakes that
grab.
To check your bearings, jack up 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. Contact the axle manufacturer regarding any warranty
considerations.
! WARNING
Never crawl under your trailer unless it is on firm and level ground
and resting on properly placed and secured jack stands.

and will hold the empty dump body in a raised position while performing
maintenance on the hoist, trailer body, or the trailer itself.
