GENERAL
These general maintenance instructions contain general shop practices and specific procedures you must be familiar
with to properly maintain your M101 and M116 Series trailers. You should read and understand these practices and
procedures before performing any maintenance task.
Before beginning a task find out how much repair, modification, or replacement is needed to fix the equipment.
Sometimes the reason for equipment failure can be seen right away and complete teardown is not necessary.
Disassemble equipment only as far as necessary to repair or replace damaged parts.
The following Initial Setup information applies to all procedures:
•
Resources are not listed unless they apply to the procedure.
•
Personnel Required is listed only if more than one technician is required to complete the task.
All tags and forms attached to equipment must be checked to learn the reason for removal of equipment from service.
Modification work orders and technical bulletins must also be checked for equipment changes and updates.
In some cases, a part may be damaged by removal. If the part appears to be good and other parts behind it are not
defective, leave it on and continue with the procedure. Here are a few simple rules:
•
Do not remove dowel pins or studs unless loose, bent, broken, or otherwise damaged.
•
Do not remove bearings or bushings unless damaged. If you need to remove them to access parts, carefully
pull out bearings and bushings.
•
Replace all gaskets, lockwashers, self-locking nuts, seals, cotter pins, preformed packing, and other
locking hardware.
WORK SAFETY
Before beginning a procedure, think about the safety risks and hazards to yourself and others. Wear protective gear,
such as a shield, safety goggles or lenses, safety shoes, rubber apron, and gloves.
Observe all WARNINGs and CAUTIONs.
Clean up spilled fluids immediately, to avoid slipping.
When lifting a heavy part, have someone help you. Make sure that lifting/jacking equipment is working properly,
meets the weight requirement of the part being lifted, and is securely fastened to the part.
Always use power tools carefully.
