8.1 Landing Gear Inspection (Before Use)
Before use, inspect the landing gear for cracks, bent components,
or damaged/missing hardware, and any noticeable defects.
The landing gear must be repaired prior to operation to avoid
damage and possible injury.
Failure to check the condition of landing
gear prior to operating could result in use
of damaged product which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
8.2 Lubrication
The landing gear requires lubrication whether it is used
frequently or sits idle for extended periods of time. If left
idle and un-greased, hard cranking could result. Use high
quality grease for normal applications. For low temperature
applications, use low temperature grease. Follow these steps
to maintain expected performance (Figure 27):
Failure to properly lubricate the landing
gear when required could result in
damage to the landing gear.
1.
Place the trailer on level ground, chock the tires, and
support the trailer independently of the landing gear.
2.
Fully retract the landing gear, then using high gear,
extend the leg 2-3 turns and lubricate the lift-screw
assembly through grease fitting "A". Apply 1/2 lb.
of grease.
3.
Lubricate the gearbox, using grease fitting "B".
Apply 1/4 lb. of grease.
4.
Lubricate the bevel gear, using grease fitting "C".
Apply 1/4 lb. of grease.
5.
Distribute the lubrication by fully extending and
retracting the leg several times.
