Page 15: Performing Maintenance
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE Proper scheduled maintenance on your Stud King transport plays a vital role for years of trouble free operation and use. This section will go over the standard service procedures as well as replacement of various parts on your trailer. Before you begin, please always keep the following in mind: ... - Page 16 BRAKE DRUM INSPECTION There are two areas of the brake drum that are subject to wear and require periodic inspection. These two areas are the drum surface where the brake shoes make contact during stopping and the armature surface where magnets contacts (only on electric brakes).
- Page 17 BEARING INSPECTION Wash all grease and oil from the bearing cone using a suitable solvent. Dry the bearings with clean, lint free cloth and inspect the rollers completely. If any pitting, marring, or corrosion is present, then replace the bearing. The bearing cup inside the hub must be inspected also.
- Page 18 Safe-T-Lube Hubs Your axle is equipped the Safe- T -Lube Feature, the bearings can be periodically lubricated without removing the hubs from the axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that have been specially drilled and fitted with a grease zerk in their ends.

Torque is a measure of the amount of tightening applied to a fastener (nut or bolt) and is expressed as length time's force. For example, a force of 90 pounds applied at the end of a wrench one foot long will yield 90 ft-lbs of torque.
