WARNING
For service and repair tasks on the semitrailer, the ground boards and tire chocks should be used to
ensure safe coupling and prevent semitrailer movement. Failure to comply may result in injury or
death to personnel.
GENERAL
00023
1.
This work package contains general shop practices and specific methods you must be familiar with to properly
maintain your semitrailer. You should read and understand these practices and methods before performing any
maintenance tasks.
2.
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 or broken parts.
3.
Resources are not listed in the initial setup unless they apply to the procedure.
4.
All tags and forms attached to equipment must be checked to learn the reason for equipment’s removal from service.
Modification Work Orders (MWOs) and Technical Bulletins (TBs) must also be checked for equipment changes and
updates.
5.
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:
a.
Do not remove dowel pins or studs unless loose, bent, broken, or otherwise damaged.
b.
Do not remove bearings or bushings unless damaged. If you need to remove them to access parts behind, pull
bearings and bushings out carefully.
c.
Replace all gaskets, seals, preformed packings, lockwashers, cotter pins, and other locking hardware.
d.
Ensure all parts are lubricated as specified in WP 0067.
