Maintenance
Pump/Motor:
Refer to the manuals provided by the pump and motor manufacturer for maintenance instructions for the respective components.
This can be located in the document holder connected to the frame on the front of the Water Trailer.
•
Never run the Motor and Pump for long periods of time without water in the system.
Operating the Pump and Motor while the system is empty may result in damage to the
Pump seals or impeller. When the Water Trailer is empty shut off the Motor to prevent
any damage to the Pump and Motor.
•
Always use a gas stabilizer in the gas used in the engine for the Water Trailer. Failure to
use gas stabilizer in the fuel may result in issues with the engine functionality.
•
Always follow Manufacturer suggested maintenance requirements and manufacturer
recommendations for any replacement parts.
•
Check oil level before any use to ensure the oil level is at proper operational levels.
See Manufacturers guide for information on oil types and levels.
•
When the motor is not in use, during transport or after operation; make sure to shut off the
gas flow to the engine. Information on shutting off the gas flow to the engine can be found
in the Motor Manual for the Water Trailer. Failure to shut off gas flow when motor is not in
use may result in gas mixing with the oil or may cause damage to the motor carburetor
causing the motor not to function.
Lubrication:
The wheel bearings should be packed every 6 months or every 6,000 miles (whichever comes first). Lubrication may be needed
more often if the trailer is used in severe conditions. The wheel hubs should be checked regularly for excess heat. Heat buildup
is an indication that the bearings need greased and may soon fail. It is imperative that the 5th wheel and pivot pins be lubricated
daily in the Hi-Rise trailer front end to prevent premature wear and failure of the pivoting joints.
Cleaning Your Tank for Potable Water Usage:
When cleaning out the tank first drain the system completely. Once the water has been drained out, refill the tank ¾ full of non-
contaminated water. Add 2 gallons of bleach. Drive tank around briefly to agitate the water around the tank. Then let it soak for a
few hours. Drive around again then dispose of water in compliance with local regulations. Rinse out tank.
Winterizing Preparation:
The tank and fittings are susceptible to rupture in freezing conditions if water or other fluids are left in tank or plumbing. To
prevent freeze damage, the tank and plumbing should be drained. Remove all the drain plugs from the system allowing the water
to drain out including the pump drain plug, and then open valves to allow any of the excess water to drain from the system.
Then run 3-4 gallons of RV antifreeze through entire system - all hoses, nozzles, and pumps. This will lubricate and prevent
freezing and breakage. After circulating through pumps, open ratchet valve until the pink antifreeze begins spraying out the back
nozzles indicating that it has circulated and the entire system has been properly lubricated.
Leave about 2 gallons of the RV Antifreeze in the tank to store for winter.
** Failure to properly Winterize/Freeze Protect your Water Trailer may result in damage to the
Water Trailer components that may not be covered by Manufacturer Warranty. Be sure to properly
flush already winterized units before use.
