Hydraulic system is under extreme pressure. To reduce the risk of
injury, follow the precautions listed below:
•
Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working
around hydraulic systems.
•
Remove jewelry and objects that might conduct electricity while
working on power units.
•
Fluid under pressure can pierce the skin and enter the bloodstream
causing death or severe injury.
•
Dump body must be supported by body safety prop to prevent
movement while being inspected, serviced or repaired.
Bri-Mar Manufacturing LLC uses a single acting cylinder on most
trailers. Some trailers are equipped with a double acting cylinder. Refer
to the proper schematics when servicing your trailer.
8.2.9.1 DC Power Unit Maintenance
Check fluid level prior to using the power unit. The power unit is
located inside the battery box at the front of the trailer. The cylinder(s)
must be retracted to properly check the fluid level. The reservoir should
be filled within ½ inch from the top. Use ATF to replenish fluid if
needed.
Most power units have suction filters which must be cleaned or replaced
periodically whenever flow is slow or sluggish.
Check the reservoir for water when servicing the trailer. If water is
present, drain the reservoir and replace the oil.
Check electric connections for corrosion and tightness.
