CORROSION PROTECTION - CONTINUED
e.
Protect all exterior areas from rust—clean off rust, prime metal, and paint area.
f.
Application of 10 wt. oil at oil can points as specified by WP 0067 will help protect components and ensure they will
work when needed.
g.
Keep bolster plate drain holes free of grease and debris so they drain/air out freely to prevent interior corrosion.
3.
Corrosion Protection.
If paint has worn off or damage/repair has taken it off the undercarriage, frame, fillets, gussets, or any other protected
area, re-coat with rust inhibitor and CARC paint.
4.
Kingpin and Bolster Plate.
If the kingpin is replaced, inspect the interior structure for rust. Clean and protect the interior with rust inhibitor; do not
plug up bolster plate drain holes. Make sure all welds are protected inside and out. Inspect the kingpin and bolster plate in
accordance with PMCS requirements.
5.
Protection Scheduling.
It is a good idea to periodically take a look at the paint, especially after off-road operations. The following is suggested:
a.
Monthly: Examine the condition of the paint.
b.
Annually: Clean rusted area down to bare metal. Apply rust inhibitor and top coat with CARC paint.
If operating in a salt or road chemical environment, you should wash semitrailer with clean, low-pressure water, dry,
prime, and paint unprotected areas if conditions permit.
