5.6 MAINTENANCE OF SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Maintenance of the suspension system includes checking technical condition of such
elements as suspension springs, rods, rocker arms, U bolts and other connecting elements of
suspension components. The scope of the suspension system maintenance includes also
periodic lubrication of individual lubrication points according to chapter 5.7 as well as
inspection and tightening of bolt connections.
When checking technical condition of the suspension system, pay attention to degree of wear
of individual parts and looseness of system components and confirm that all components are
complete and free from cracks and deformations. If any of the suspension system
components is damaged or excessively worn, immediately stop operating the trailer and
replace or repair the damaged element.
ATTENTION!
Bolt and nut connections of the trailer's suspension system should be tightened under
load.
Tightening of bolt and nut connections should be checked using a torque spanner.
Tightening torque values are given in figure (5.12)and table (5.8).
The sensor works properly if the diodes on the sensor light up when
the sensor is placed near a metal part. The detection range of the
trailer's inductive sensors is 8 mm, i.e. the sensors do not work if they
are placed outside this range.
