Page 3: Maintaining The Trailers Galvanized Surface
Maintaining The Trailers Galvanized Surface Your Dunbier trailer is coated in a galvanized finish, where the trailer has undergone a chemical process that bonds very hot liquid zinc to the trailer and it’s components, becoming part of the base metal below it. The zinc covering forms a sacrificial barrier that protects the steel under the zinc, very similar to anodes provided in modern marine engines. -
Page 4: Couplings
3 Month Check After a 3month period, or approximately 400km of use, start at the front of the trailer and re-tighten all nuts and bolts. It is the nature of zinc to be a very soft material and after a short period of time , the bolts and retainers work into the soft zinc and require retensioning. This will retension any bolts and fasteners. - Page 5 WARNING Do-not Use in this position Grease Grease Grease Grease Fig 1. Fig 2. Fig 3.

Page 8: Axles And Springs
Axles And Springs Dunbier recommends that the suspension components be inspected at least twice yearly for any evidence of loose ubolts, bolts and corrosion or breakage of the leaf springs. Painted suspension components should be sprayed regularly with products such as inox type protectants to increase the life of the axles, springs and hubs. - Page 9 Bearing & Seal Kits Trailers with 39mm Rd Axle # 1690 40mm Sq Axle # 1690 45MM sq Axle # 1707S 50mm Sq Axle # 1708 Fig 1.

Page 10: Brakes And Brake Controllers
Brakes and Brake Controllers The braking system on your Dunbier trailer is generally a disc brake over-ride system, either in mechanical (cable operated) or hydraulic (fluid operated). Hydraulic calipers must be sprayed with an anti-corrosion spray after use and fully serviced every 6 months. Trailers fitted with Hydrastar braking system should cover the Hydrastar unit when standing for long periods to guard against the elements as they are not water proof, never use spray directly with a hose or high pressure spray. - Page 11 Adjustment Adjustment Fig 1.

Page 14: Trailer Lighting
Trailer Lighting Lighting and wiring need a six-month inspection to ensure that there is no cracked lenses or corrosion in the wiring loom connecting plugs and the vehicle connections. Manual & Electric Winches The winches selected for use on your trailer are of high quality, particularly chosen for that trailer load capacity. However, do not overload your winch, use it only for the application it has been supplied for on normal ramp conditions. -
