In harsh conditions the bearings should be lubricated more frequently. Use a general purpose EP grease formulated for lubricating plain, ball and roller bearings, subject to heavy loads and impacts typical of HGV, agricultural vehicle hubs, etc.

Suspensions & Brakes Checking Clearance and wear Check and test the brakes before intensive use and every 3 months: Check the brake wear and the clearance between the brake linings and the drum visually. It is probable that the linings are worn when the actuator travel has increased significantly. Check the thickness of the brake linings The brake shoes should be replaced as soon as the minimum lining thickness is reached.
