Safety decals appear at various locations on your new Bulk Commodity trailer. The decals are provided for your safety and should be kept clean. Replace any decal that has become worn or damaged, painted over, or otherwise difficult to read. Replacement decals are available at no cost through Timpte by calling 402-367-3056. Information contained in this Operators Manual is based on the latest information available at the time of publication. Changes are continually being made to improve our product lines. In addition to this Operators Manual, there is a set of informational manuals supplied with your trailer from the manufacturers of the various components used to build this trailer including but not limited to;

the suspension the anti-lock brake system the axles, brakes, wheel ends the tarp system the spring brakes chambers Please read these manuals carefully as they contain detailed information on these different trailer components as well as safety and maintenance information that is important to you. We want to thank you for purchasing a Timpte trailer and to let you know that it was designed to meet your specific needs for a Bulk Commodity trailer and was built for long life and low cost of operation. However, regular and proper maintenance of the trailer and your common sense use of it are required to extend the life of the trailer. Date of Origin 02/01/08 2 NORMAL TRAILER OPERATION This Timpte trailer is designed for operation within legal highway speed limits on reasonable road surfaces for the type of service it was built to perform, in accordance with the noted weight restric-

tions. Normal Service means the loading and transportation of uniformly distributed legal loads of properly secured, noncorrosive cargo, in accordance with any applicable factory instructions and in a manner which does not subject the trailer or parts of the trailer to (a) concentrated loads; (b) loads in excess of the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR) stated on the Certification Plate affixed to the trailer by Timpte; and (c) accidental dam-

age, or (d) stresses, impacts or shocks greater than those commensurate with normal, reason-

able lawful use. The GAWR (gross axle weight rating) is the structural capability of the lowest rated member of the running gear components: suspension system, hubs, brake drums, wheels, bearings, axles, brake linings or tires. The GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is the structural capability of the trailer when supported by the kingpin and axles with the load uniformly distributed throughout the cargo space. NOTICE:

The maximum load indicated on the identification plate may not be a legal load on the highway you plan to use. States have differing laws and regulations affecting vehicle lengths and weights on roads that are not a part of the primary interstate road system. Modification of the Trailer Any modification made to the trailer must comply with DOT and NHTSA regulations and must not compromise the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer. Any modification made to the trailer without prior approval of Timpte may void the warranty. Any operation of the trailer outside the limitations stated in this manual will void any responsibility of Timpte Trailer Company for any of its results. 3 Date of Origin 02/01/08 SAFETY WARNING

P/N 035-29182 CAUTION DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HOIST TRAILER AT THIS FRAME STRUCTURE. P/N 035-27163 5 Date of Origin 02/01/08 AIR BRAKE SYSTEM Your new Timpte trailer is equipped with an air brake system which meets or exceeds the require-

ments of the federal regulation FMVSS-121 for grade-holding ability and emergency stopping in the event of an air supply failure in the service brake system. Air pressure is required to release the parking/emergency brake. As of 10/8/92-FMVSS 121 requires that the supply line for the air brake system be protected to 70 psi. This pressure level requires that supply line pressure levels are achieved before the pressure protection valve opens (opening pressure must be higher than the closing pressure by design). Keeping your compressor cut-in pressure at maximum levels (over 100 psi) is a clear advantage for peak operation of your entire system, we recommend using a 105 psi cut-in governor setting. Governor cut-out pressure should be at 120 psi minimum. Low compressor cut-in pressure may result in poor performance of the system, for example slow parking brake release time. Should you still have a problem with your brake system after working through all of the inspection items and tests listed in this manuals maintenance section or in the brake manufacturers manual supplied with the trailer, contact your Timpte factory representative. WHEEL NUT TORQUE Proper torquing and retorquing the wheel nuts are critical to prevent the loss of wheel equipment. Wheel nuts should be torqued to 450 to 500 ft. lbs. (dry). Refer to the manufacturers decal on the side of the trailer or manufacturers maintenance information supplied with the trailer for proper torque specifications and tightening sequence. Wheels must be checked and retorqued after the first 50 to 100 miles of use. This is important every time you change a wheel. Check the fastener torque on a regular on-going basis.

WARNING 1. Read and understand this warning and the installation, Service and Safety Instruction Manual to understand all safety precautions, proper operation, and maintenance of your Webb hub. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury and could result in a compromise of your vehicles safe operation through loss or failure of a wheel or the compromise of the braking system. Copies of the installation, Service and Safety Instruction Manual are available, free of charge, from Webb Products, Inc., upon request. 2. Always use a properly installed calibrated torque wrench to assure proper torque. Under torque and over torque can cause thread and/or nut damage and could result in the loss of a wheel. Failure to ensure proper torque could result in death or serious injury and could shorten the expected life of this product. 3. Recheck torque after the first 50 to 100 miles of service. Parts may seat naturally, causing the torque to drop. A drop in torque could result in the loss of a wheel. Proper torque is essential to avoid damage or compromise of your vehicles safety. Failure to ensure proper torque could result in death or serious injury. 2310 INDUSTRIAL DRIVE, S.W. CULLMAN, ALABAMA 35055 256-739-6660 WWW.WEBBWHEEL.COM HUBS

Check Disc-Wheels for proper positioning on pads and proper seating against flange. Tighten Flange Nuts to recommended torque using sequence shown. RECOMMENDED TORQUE: 450 - 500 FT. LBS. REAR IMPACT GUARDS As of 1/26/98, all trailers must comply with FMVSS 223 and 224, which specify equipment and performance standards for rear impact guards on new semi-trailers. If required by this statute, a RIG (rear impact guard) has been installed on your trailer that has been designed to resist speci-

fied forces and absorb energy at a specific rate in the event of a rear collision with the trailer per the standard. Trailer RIGs are subject to impacts and stress in docking and loading operations. It is therefore important that you inspect them regularly for signs of damage or wear. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death. Date of Origin 02/01/08 6

WARNING A DAMAGED REAR IMPACT GUARD MAY NOT BE AS STRONG AS THE ORIGI-

NALLY MANUFACTURED GUARD AND MAY NOT SATISFY THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OF FMVSS 223 AND 224. ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS TO THE RIG COULD HAVE THE SAME EFFECT. PRIOR TO REPAIRING OR MODIFYING ANY TIMPTE RIG, CONTACT THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ENGINEERING AT TIMPTE AT 402-367-3056. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Pre-trip inspections should be made of the guard to assure its integrity and strength. Broken welds, bent components, or other damage will likely affect its performance. For these reasons, RIG inspection, service and repair records should be maintained. Repairs and replacements must be in accordance with the original design specifications of the guard. Any questions regarding repair or replacement should be directed to the Vice President of Engineer-

ing at Timpte. ABS BRAKING SYSTEM As of 3/1/98 all trailers manufactured with air braking systems are required to have an ABS (Anti-

Lock Braking System). The system used on your trailer meets or exceeds the FMVSS 121 requirement for ABS. The ABS system on your Bulk Commodity trailer is a 4S/2M system (4 wheel sensors - 2 modulator valves) or a 2S/1M (2 wheel sensors - 1 modulator valve). The intended purpose of ABS is to help maintain control and reduce the likelihood of jackknife situations. The ABS status indicator light is located on the driver side of the trailer near the rear corner post. It indicates the system status upon initial startup by turning on and then turning off once the vehicle begins to move. If a malfunction in the ABS system occurs, the ABS system status light will come on and stay on until the problem is repaired. Anytime the system status light comes on and stays on, have the ABS system serviced as soon as possible.

WARNING! ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) is a safety item and must be properly maintained. To operate an ABS equipped truck and trailer properly, during braking- constant pedal force must be applied. All ABS systems require clean, dry air to operate properly. Use of airline deicers or leakage of oil into the air system may diminish the performance of the system and will void the warranty. BACKUP WARNING SYSTEM A backup warning system consisting of an audible alarm is available as an option on your Timpte Bulk Commodity trailer. The system is intended to indicate that the vehicle is backing up. 7 Date of Origin 02/01/08 You, the operator, have the Greatest Control over Safe Operation. 1. You, the operator, have control of the most important factors that affect safe trailer opera-

tion and vehicle stability. Trailers are a tool and, like any tool, are safe only when properly used by a conscientious, trained and qualified operator. 2. The fifth wheel should be securely mounted to the tractor frame and proper connection between the tractor and trailer verified. 3. The driver should be familiar with the characteristics of the particular trailer and of the load to be transported. 4. The driver should be familiar with the nature of the roads and traffic which may be en-

countered during the trip. 5. Stability Caution - like any other vehicle, semi-trailers can tip or slide out of control if turns are negotiated at too high a speed or when making violent ma-

neuvers such as abrupt lane changes or other evasive actions to avoid ob-

stacles. 6. Within the relatively narrow confines of road laws limiting vehicle size and weight, to-

gether with the characteristics of available tires, suspensions, and other components, there is little that a manufacturer can do to affect the inherent stability of a trailer other than keeping the load as low as feasible, considering the requirements for loading space and adequate tire clearance. This means that the major factors affecting operational stability are the knowledge and skill of the driver. The predominant causes of rollover accidents are:

a. Excessive speed b. Violent swerving or turning c. Application of brakes or tractor power while turning. d. Entering curves at too high a speed 7. Tire Characteristics: High pressure truck/trailer tires have different characteristics under high speed cornering conditions than do passenger car tires. Truck/trailer tires are designed for carrying high loads over long distances. Their lateral stability becomes unpredictable when lateral forces approach .04g. This means that commercial vehicles must be operated in a conservative manner when cornering. 8. Braking and Acceleration: Either braking or accelerating while cornering can significantly reduce the stability of the vehicle and should be avoided. The best driving practice is to decelerate to a safe conservative speed before entering a corner or approaching con-

gested traffic, and then to apply only moderate power until a straight path has been re-

established. Date of Origin 02/01/08 8

Inspection Procedures Before Each Trip WARNING! Be careful when making inspections, hookups and repairs to avoid personal injury. Make sure parking brakes are properly activated or that wheel chocks are in place to avoid sudden or unexpected movement of the trailer which could result in bodily injury. NOTICE:

It is the Operators responsibility to conduct a safe and accurate pre-trip inspection of the vehicle. Per Federal Motor Carrier Statute 49 CFR 392.7 Equipment, Inspection and Use - No motor vehicle shall be driven un-

less the driver thereof shall have satisfied himself that the following parts and accessories are in good working order, nor shall any driver fail to use or make use of such parts and accessories when and as needed Service Brake, including trailer brake connections Parking Brake Steering Mechanism Lighting devices and reflectors Tires/Tire Pressure Horn Windshield Wiper or wipers Rear-vision mirror or mirrors Coupling devices Hoses and Airlines Fifth Wheel Plate Gladhand Connections Hub Maintenance Mud Flaps RIG (Rear Underride Guard) Additional Federal Requirements for the Operator can be found in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49 Parts 392, 393 and 396. These can be found on-line at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/ then scroll down to (CFR Sections by Citation). Failure to regularly inspect the trailer may also void the warranty. While it is ultimately the operators responsibility to properly perform and document the pre-trip inspection, Timpte provides the following recommendations and suggestions. TRAP DOOR LOCKS Check all trap door locks before each trip to insure that they are in proper working order. Any trap door components which show excessive wear should be replaced immediately. Care should be taken to keep the area around the door frame clear of any debris. A build-up of refuse may result in the doors not completely closing. Make sure all doors are closed and secured prior to departure. 9 Date of Origin 02/01/08 LIGHTS AND REFLECTORS The surfaces of the lights and reflectors need to be checked and cleaned. Inspect all lights to see if they are working and check all brake and signal functions. ELECTRICAL WIRING Inspect all visible wiring to see that it is not frayed and is properly supported and protected, and that all connections are tight. Inspect the electrical hookup for a clean and secure connection. FIFTH WHEEL AND KING PIN ENGAGEMENT Inspect the kingpin and its structure on the trailer for damage or unusual wear. After hook up, make a direct visual inspection to assure proper coupling, then check for positive engagement of the lower fifth wheel and king pin. Apply the trailer brakes and attempt to move the tractor forward to insure that the fifth wheel and king pin are positively locked.

CAUTION! Plastic King Pin Liners (Lube Plate) cannot be installed onto Timpte Trailer upper coupler/king pin assemblies unless the trailer was purchased with that specifi-

cation. A lube plate changes the king pin interface dimensions relative to the fifth wheel lock. This may result in coupling difficulties, premature lock wear, and a poten-

tial for a dropped trailer. TIRES

WARNING! DO NOT OVERLOAD! Check tires frequently for cuts and abrasions. Check tire pressure daily and keep inflated as recommended by the tire manufacturer. Remove foreign objects that may be lodged in the tire treads or between dual tires. MUD FLAPS Be sure the mud flaps are securely in place and in good condition. TARP SYSTEM Check to be sure the tarp is in serviceable condition. Insure that the latching system is in good working order and that the tarp is properly secured for travel to prevent being blown about by the wind. LANDING GEAR Always raise the landing gear legs completely before moving the trailer. Make sure that the crank handle is properly secured. Prior to trailer transport, lock landing legs into low side gear ratio. Date of Origin 02/01/08 10 HUB MAINTENANCE Check wheel studs for good condition no stripped threads no bent or loose studs. Replace any broken or bent studs or studs with damaged threads. When a broken stud is replaced, the stud on each side of it should be replaced at the same time. If more than two studs on the same hub are broken, replace all of the studs. NOTE: Hub cap mounting bolts (6) torque 10 to 15 ft. -lbs torque per bolt. WHEELS AND RIMS Check all wheel nuts for tightness. Wheel flange nuts should be torqued to 450 to 500 ft. lbs (dry). Check all metal surfaces thoroughly while making tire inspections and during tire changes. Look for:

Excessive rust or corrosion build-up Cracks in the metal Bent flanges or components Bent or stripped studs. Loose, missing, or damaged nuts Incorrectly matched rim parts Replace damaged components, making sure that replacements are made with proper sized and type parts.

WARNING EXCESSIVELY CORRODED OR CRACKED RIMS ARE DANGEROUS, PARTICU-

LARLY DURING REMOVAL. DEFLATE TIRES PRIOR TO REMOVAL OF RIMS AND WHEELS FROM THE VEHICLE OR PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT. HUB LUBRICANT Check and maintain proper level of lubricant in hubs. Hubs using oil lubricant will have clear hub windows and the oil level will be clearly visible. Be sure the oil level is at the fill line noted on the hub window. Hubs equipped with synthetic grease will retain the grease between the bearings and no lubricant visual check is possible. Trailers equipped with this option will not have a clear hub window or a fill plug. Do not add oil to hubs equipped with synthetic grease lubricant. If mixing of lubricants occurs, remove the lubricant and re-install the proper lubricant as soon as possible. 11 Date of Origin 02/01/08 SIDE STRUCTURES Check the trailer sides for inconspicuous damage to the top and bottom rails as well as the side structure cracks, contusions, sharp bends, ripples, or missing fasteners. Any problems ob-

served in the side structure should be corrected immediately to prevent the damage from extend-

ing further. Unrepaired damage could affect the safe load carrying capacity of the side structure. SUSPENSION AND SUSPENSION SUBFRAME Check the suspension and suspension subframe structure for damage or unusual wear. Any type of damage, cracks in the welds or structural members or loose fasteners need to be addressed immediately. Check spring suspensions for free movement of equalizer, condition of bushings, torque of fasteners and for any type of cracking or damage to the spring leafs. Check air ride suspensions for condition of bushings, air leaks, condition of shock absorbers, for proper opera-

tion of ride height leveling valve, and for proper inflation of the air springs. NOTE: Never move an air ride trailer without first fully inflating the air springs failure to do so could cause damage to the trailer and suspension and will void the warranty. Date of Origin 02/01/08 12 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM This portion of the air brake system makes provision for parking a vehicle on a grade and for emergency stopping in the event of a failure of air supply in the service brake system. Air pressure within the parking brake chamber is required to release the spring brake. An air reservoir is provided to store enough air to release the brakes at least once by means of the tractor parking brake control, if there is an air line failure. In addition to the normal release of spring brakes using air, a built-in manual release is provided. It allows easy release of the spring brakes for relining the brakes or for moving the trailer in the absence of air pressure.

DANGER MANUAL RELEASE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO MOVE THE TRAILER TO A SAFE LOCATION WHERE REPAIRS CAN BE PERFORMED. ALWAYS INSTALL WHEEL CHOCKS IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND TIRES BEFORE MANUALLY RELEASING SPRING BRAKES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS SAFETY WARNING COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

WARNING DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE TRAILER UNTIL PARKING BRAKE IS FULLY RELEASED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS SAFETY WARNING WILL RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING NEVER ATTEMPT TO USE THE TRAILER FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE BRAKING EFFORT BY BACKING OFF THE TRACTOR BRAKES. THIS IS ILLEGAL, UNSAFE, AND WILL CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS SAFETY WARNING COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. 13 Date of Origin 02/01/08 TRAILER LOADING Roll tarp to open position and lock crank handle in place, Check trap doors for closure, locks and latches for proper engagement before loading. Position trailer to receive commodity. Set parking brake on the tractor prior to loading the commodity onto the trailer. The trailer should be loaded evenly from front to rear, maintaining all state bridge laws. DO NOT Overload the trailer as this action could void the trailer warranty. Use the air system air gauge (Air Ride only) to determine legal load conditions. Calibrate the air gauge by comparing the gauge pressure to loaded trailer scale weight. The tarp bows can be swung to the side to facilitate loading as needed. Be sure to use a safe, approved walkway or scaffold to reach and manipulate bows. Balance the load between front and rear hoppers. Roll the tarp closed and lock the crank handle into place before proceeding to another location. TRAILER UNLOADING

CAUTION! USE EXTREME CAUTION when attempting to dislodge commodity through the trap doors during the unloading process as this could result in serious personal injury or death. Position trailer at a point so commodity can be discharged properly and safely. Set parking brake on the tractor prior to discharging the commodity. Dump air bags (Air Ride only) prior to discharging commodity. Failure to discharge air from lift bags when unloading could cause damage due to over extension of the air bags and flexing of landing legs. This action could void the trailer warranty. Confirm discharge point is clear of any pedestrians or obstructions. Roll tarp to open position prior to unloading. Failure to open the tarp could result in damage to tarp bows and trailer walls. This action could void trailer warranty. Open hopper trap doors, one at a time, to begin discharging commodity. Always Use knockrails to assist with dislodging commodity. Confirm that all commodity has been discharged from both hoppers. Close trap doors, latch and lock, prior to departing to your next destination. Remove and properly store crank handle. Roll the tarp closed and lock the crank handle into place before proceeding to another location. Inflate the air-ride suspension system prior to moving the trailer. NOTE: Timpte trailers are designed to transport free flowing commodity. Knockrail and pneumatic (air) hammer (vibrator) options are available to be installed to assist with unloading commodity, if needed. Speak with a Timpte Sales Representative with any question you may have with respect to knockrail and pneumatic (air) hammer options.

Rotate the wrench to close the trap door until the door is completely closed (decals). Locate a torque wrench onto the hex drive nut on the operator shaft. Locate the pawl lock to a position approximately 1/2 tooth away from the next gear ratchet wheel locking position (pictured). Rotate the torque wrench in the close direction, torque wrench set point at 80 ft-lbs

(max), until pawl drops into gear ratchet wheel tooth to lock door closed. Pawl lock must be set to drop into the gear ratchet wheel lock at a torque < or = 80 ft-lbs latching torque. Adjust pawl position side to side to fine-tune pawl latching torque set point. Release the door lock by rotating the operator shaft toward the close direction, easing the locking pressure on the pawl. Raise the pawl lock out of the ratchet wheel tooth and rotate the pawl in the opposite direction. Open the trap door by rotating the operator shaft, with the crank arm, opposite the close direction (decals). Unlatching torque should not exceed 80 ft-lbs torque. Date of Origin 02/01/08 16 NOTE The pawl lock should be centered on the gear ratchet, front to back, to assure proper alignment between ratchet and pawl for locking. Use set screws, located in flange bearing (behind operator shaft mounting plate), to adjust clearance for pawl and gear ratchet centering. (See figures below for clarification). Adjust the pawl and ratchet centering position as follows:

Loosen adjustment set screws (2) to allow operator shaft/mounting plate movement (in and out, push/pull). Confirm clearance between gear ratchet and mounting plate (push/pull) Adjust gear ratchet and pawl for centering (in and out movement, push/pull). Re-tighten set screws on flange bearing once centering and clearance are corrected.

These relief valves are located on each side of the pump, 180 degrees from each other. At the hose connections the ports on side of the pump are marked with C1 and C2. The pressure relief on the C1 side sets the pressure for opening the doors and the relief on theC2 side sets the pressure for closing. When testing or making adjustments on the pressure relief valve system a gauge in both ports of thepump is required to ensure the most accurate pressure setting. To adjust pressure relief valves:

Setting Relief Valves with Pressure Gauges:

1. Insert pressure gauges in each pump port C1 and C2. 2. A Pressure Relief valve is located on each side of the pump. Use 9/16 socket and loosen the jamnut on each relief. Do not remove relief valve. 3. Use a 3/16 hex head wrench and turn the relief clockwise to increase pressure setting, counter clockwise to reduce the pressure. Approximately turn or 90 degrees equals 250 psi adjustments. 4. Operate the system until the cylinder is dead headed (cylinder at full stroke or fully retracted) and note the pressure on the gauge. Pumps from factory are preset at 2000 psi. 5. Cycle cylinders in both directions until pressure setting are achieved on both reliefs. 6. Tighten jam nuts and remove gauges. 7. Cycle system to remove any air that may have entered the lines when the gauges were removed. Setting Reliefs Without Gauges:

1. A Pressure Relief valve is located on each side of the pump. Use 9/16 socket and loosen the jam nut on each relief. Do not remove relief valve. 2. Use a 3/16 hex head wrench and turn the relief clockwise to carefully bottom out relief valve. Do not tighten. Tightening relief valve can damage the valve seat. 3. Turn relief valve counter clockwise 1 revolutions. Tighten jam nuts. This will set the pressure at approximately 2000 psi range. Approximately turn or 90 degrees equals 250 psi adjustment. Date of Origin 02/01/08 22 EMERGENCY APPLICATION WITH DRILL 1. Remove Plug from rear of hydraulic power unit motor using a 3/16 Allen wrench. 2.

The tarp must be kept to a recommended 40-60 lbs. of tension or excessive tarp wear may occur. Do not walk or stand on the end caps. Do not operate this vehicle at highway speeds, while the tarp system is in the open position. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Crank The Tarp Up Under The Latch Plate. 2. Bring The Crank Arm Down To A Vertical Position. 3. Lift The Crank Arm Up To The Crank Retainer. To Adjust The Tarp Tension:

1. Allow The Tarp To Roll Down Away From The Latch Plate. 2. Remove The Crank Arm From The Splined Shaft. 3. Rotate The Crank One Or Two Teeth & Reassemble. A decal located on the rear of the trailer gives instructions for the operation of the tarp and adjust-

ing the tarp tension. A caution decal is located on the crank handle with instructions pertaining to rolling the tarp. Be sure to follow these instructions. IMPORTANT: All tarp bows and cross members must be in place while operating a loaded trailer. The tarp bows and cross members hold the trailer walls together and prevent side structure failure. Always close tarp and lock handle into position before moving your trailer to prevent damage to the tarp system. Always open the tarp before discharging a load. Failure to do so may damage the trailer and void the warranty. If you must remove or reposition the ridge straps or tarp bows during loading, be sure to use a safe, approved walkway or scaffold. Never walk on the top rail, it is not designed to be a walkway. TARP TENSION To Set the Tarp Tension On The Crank:

METHOD ONE:

Hold the crank firmly with both hands Tighten the tarp by rolling the main tarp tube up under the latch plate Bring the crank handle down perpendicular to the ground Continue to tighten by lifting it up (approximately 45 degrees) into the crank retainer:

Repeat this procedure while adjusting the splined shaft and the u]joint one tooth at a time to achieve 40 to 60 pounds of tension at the handle end of the crank. Date of Origin 02/01/08 24 METHOD TWO:

Another method to measure tension is to adjust the tension until you see a slight deflection or a gradual bend in the crank extension of approximately 1/8. After Properly setting the tension on the crank, make sure that the tarp is in the locked position and check the following:

Check to see that the tarp has equal tension on both the end caps and the bows. If, for any reason the tarp tension is not the same along the length of the tarp (i.e. tarp twist, uclamps not aligned, varying box widths from front to back), the u-clamps and the tarp may need to be readjusted in the loose areas of the tarp.

WARNING! DO NOT walk, stand or climb over or on the end caps. The tarp caps are designed by the tarp system manufacturer to assist in supporting, tensioning and sealing the tarp. They are not a structural portion of the trailer. They are purposely light-weight and flexible and are not designed to support a persons body weight. Additionally, they are purposely smooth and curved to assist the tarp in sealing tight, and hence are not designed to be a walk surface. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death. 25 Date of Origin 02/01/08 THUNDER ELECTRIC TARP SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Powering Up or Down the System To turn the system on or off, locate the OPEN and CLOSE buttons on the relay module on the front of the trailer. Push and hold both buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 5 seconds. The red LED will illuminate indicating the module is on and ready for operation. Alternatively, you can also press and hold buttons ON/OPEN and OFF/CLOSE on the RF transmitter for 3 5 seconds to power the system on or off. One Touch Operation:

This operation is fully automated and will stop when proper tension is reached when fully opened or closed. To uncover the load, push and hold the button labeled OPEN on the relay module or ON/OPEN on the RF transmitter for 1 to 2 1/2 seconds then release. The gear motor will wrap the tarp around the tarp axle causing the axle to move from the tarped position to the stowed position. This tarp system can be opened part way and stopped. Anytime you want to stop the tarp system just hit the OPEN or CLOSE buttons or ON/OPEN or OFF/CLOSE on the RF transmitter and the tarp system will stop. It will not hurt the tarp system to stop part way through the tarping cycle. When the system shuts down automatically, the system will be set to the recommended tarp tension. Never travel with the tarp in a partially covered position. The trailer should always be covered when traveling. To cover the load, push and hold the CLOSE button on the relay module or OFF/CLOSE on the RF transmitter for 1 to 2 1/2 seconds. The springs in the arm will move the tarp from the stowed position and across the trailer to the tarped position. When the system shuts down automatically, the system will be set to the recommended tarp tension. Incremental Operation:

To inch the tarp in either direction press the OPEN or CLOSE buttons on the relay module intermittently. Press and Hold Operation:

To uncover the load using the press and hold feature, push and hold the button labeled OPEN on the relay module or ON/OPEN on the RF transmitter. The gear motor will wrap the tarp around the tarp axle causing the axle to move from the tarped position to the stowed position. Release the button when the system shuts down automatically. This tarp system can be opened part way and stopped. Anytime you release the switch the tarp system will stop. It will not hurt the tarp system to stop part way through the tarping cycle. Never travel with the tarp in a partially covered position. The trailer should always be covered when traveling. To cover the load using the press and hold feature, push and hold the CLOSE button on the relay module or OFF/CLOSE on the RF transmitter for greater than 2 seconds. The springs in the arm will move the tarp from the stowed position and across the trailer to the tarped position. Release the switch when desired during operation or when the system shuts down automatically. Date of Origin 02/01/08 26 OPTIONAL ARM ADJUSTMENT As shipped from the factory, the front and rear arms are set to allow the axle to rest lightly on the end caps while following the contour as it moves across the trailer. Different types of loads and conditions may require your tarp to operate differently. For this rea-

son the system has been designed to be very versatile. Please see the steps below to adjust your arm if need be. To make the arms carry the axle over heaped loads: Increase the knuckle pressure on the front and rear arms by moving the spring pin up to the middle hole. If even more lift is desired, move the spring pin to the top hole. To increase arm control in windy conditions:

Increase the base pivot pressure on the front and rear arms by moving the spring pin up to the middle hole. If even more control is desired, move the spring pin to the top hole. Recommended Maintenance:

All electrical connections should be checked regularly for corrosion. If any connections are found with corrosion, clean the connection and apply dielectric grease before reconnecting. Electrical connections can be found at all motors, switches, contactors, limit switches, control boxes and batteries. Motor mounting bolts should be checked periodically to ensure a minimum torque of 70 in-lbs (5.8 ft-lbs). All mounting hardware should be checked to insure all system components are securely fastened. Visually inspect all moving parts for abnormal or excessive wear. Field Troubleshooting Guide:

1. Check main circuit breaker at battery to make sure it is not tripped. If tripped, reset. 2. Check all connections to make sure they are properly secured both at the terminal connec-

tion to the stud and where the terminal is crimped to the wire. Locations to check: battery connection, circuit breaker near battery, male and female plugs, relay connections, motor connection. 3. Ensure relay is powered up. If the RF module is on, the LED will be solid red. If the LED is not on, power the module up by pushing both large buttons simultaneously for 3 5 seconds until LED turns on. If RF module will not power up, remove and replace. If module will power up but system will not function, proceed to step 2. 4. Disconnect power leads from motor. Check for motor operation in both directions. To do so, use a set of jumper cables to go direct from battery to motor terminals (+lead to + terminal, -

lead to - terminal). To reverse direction, remove the jumper cables from terminals and swap the leads to the opposite terminals (+lead to - terminal, - lead to + terminal). If motor does not operate in one or both directions, replace motor. If motor operates in both directions, proceed to step 5. 5. Reconnect input wires to motor and check for operation. 6. Using a voltmeter or test light, check for input power at relay. If using voltmeter, input voltage should be a minimum of 12V. If voltage is good, proceed to step 6. If no or low voltage, proceed to step 7. 7. Check voltage at relay output. To do so, connect tester leads to output terminals. Activate in one direction, check voltage, activate in opposite direction, and confirm voltage. If no or low voltage, relay must be replaced. If good proceed to step 8. 8. Check voltage at output circuit breaker located near battery. If no or low voltage, replace circuit breaker. 27 Date of Origin 02/01/08 Error Codes:

AGED. DO NOT MODIFY THE ACCESS SYSTEM WITHOUT CONSULT-

ING WITH TIMPTE TRAILER CO. Date of Origin 02/01/08 32 LIFTABLE, REGULATED AXLE For trailers equipped with a Liftable, Regulated axle, the air controls are on the roadside near the suspension of your trailer. This box contains a 160 p.s.i. regulator along with a locking detent lift control valve, and a manually adjustable regulator knob. The regulator is adjusted manually to control the pressure of the lift axle ride bags. To control the load on your lift axle, with the trailer loaded, pull the regulator knob and turn to the desired pressure. This can be accomplished by placing the lift axle on a scale while the adjust-

ment is taking place. Once the desired load is on the axle, push in the knob to lock the adjustment in place. To lift or lower the axle, rotate the locking detent lift control on the valve counterclockwise Y4 turn to a horizontal position to lift and then back clockwise Y4 turn to a vertical position to lower the axle. The lift axle is considered a pushing axle and it is very important to always lift the axle when the trailer is empty and lower the axle when the trailer is loaded. If the axle were to be connected to electrical power, the lift has a personal safety feature that will allow the axle to lift when the power is disrupted. NOTE: Loading the axle should never exceed the wheel, tire, or axle rating. Locking Dentent Lift Control Manually Adjustable Regulator 33 Date of Origin 02/01/08 GENERAL MAINTENANCE AVOIDING CONTAMINATION The operator has the best opportunity to avoid contamination between commodities. It is critical that the operator clean and maintain the trailer interior and trap frame areas to avoid contamina-

tion. The interior hopper, dividers, etc. should be inspected and cleaned thoroughly by the opera-

tor as required. Use a broom or a high pressure sprayer to clean the interior surfaces including the dividers, wall liners and interior tub panels. Do not use a high pressure sprayer for trap frame cleaning and washing. High pressure water could enter and damage the bearings. Access to the interior of the trailer should be from underneath through the trap door opening. Never climb over the top of the trailer into the interior. See section below for trap frame maintenance. TRAILER WASHING Washing the trailer is an important step in decreasing future maintenance. The trailer should be washed with soap and water using a relatively soft bristle brush. Various chemicals can cause severe corrosive damage to aluminum. The use of acid in any concentration to clean the trailer will void the warranty. There are many different types of chemicals used today to de-ice the roadways. Many of these can cause severe damage to the steel substructure of the trailer and diminish the appearance of the aluminum and stainless steel components if not kept properly and regularly washed away. A number of products hauled in the trailer will also lead to corrosion if the products are allowed to build up. Products that build up on the aluminum and steel members in the suspension subframe and upper coupler area should be routinely washed off. CORROSIVE DETERIORATION Various chemicals can cause severe corrosive damage to your aluminum grain trailer. To prevent severe damage to your trailer due to corrosion, contact Timpte Trailer Company Product Engi-

neering to verify that the materials you are hauling are compatible with the materials used in the construction of the trailer. Corrosive deterioration caused by incompatible materials could void all or part of the trailer warranty. The most important preventive maintenance step to avoid corrosion is cleaning; your trailer should be washed out after each load to minimize corrosion when hauling such items as salt, fertilizer, etc. Date of Origin 02/01/08 34 TRAP FRAME/TRAP OPERATOR MAINTENANCE The following areas (below) should be inspected regularly between loads and commodities. Doors (Top/sides/underside) Trap frame structure Roller bearings Gear rack Cross shaft and flange bearings It is critical that the trap frame area be maintained properly for trouble free operation. Clean these sections with a hand brush, compressed air (50 PSI max) or both between loads to avoid con-

tamination. Do not use high pressure sprayer as bearings could be damaged. To maintain proper trap door operation and ease of opening, the mechanism must be properly adjusted and lubricated. The trap operator drive mechanism (gear rack and cross shaft gear) interfaces must be kept properly aligned and free of debris and corrosion to enhance freedom of movement. Flange bearings should be greased regularly, depending on frequency of operation. Timpte recommends the operator grease bearings monthly (failure to do so may void warranty). Use the following procedure to readjust the trap door and gear rack assembly. 35 Date of Origin 02/01/08 Date of Origin 02/01/08 36 37 Date of Origin 02/01/08 AIR HAMMER (VIBRATOR) MAINTENANCE The air hammer employed to help dislodge commodity should be lubricated on a regular basis. The air hammer manufacturer recommends a SAE 10 or lighter oil for this purpose. Frequency of lubrication is directly related to volume of usage. The operator should lubricate the air hammers

(vibrators) prior to each use or maintain oil in reservoir if equipped with self-lubricating system. NOTE: The operator must confirm that all air hammers are securely located in the mount-

ing brackets and locked into place prior to usage. Failure to locate and lock air hammers into position properly could result in serious personal injury or damage to the trailer. Do not exceed 80 P.S.I. while operating piston vibrator. Failure to follow operating instruc-

tions properly could void the warranty. TROUBLE-SHOOTING:

1. Vibrator will not start:

a. Check to see that quick-opening valve is properly installed. b. Vibrator should be within 5 feet of operating valve. c. Be sure vibrator has adequate air pressure and volume d. Check for broken or missing spring on horizontal mount available. units. 2. Vibrator is sluggish and slow to start. a. Check for adequate lubrication. b. Check for leaking airline or defective operating valve. c. Check air supply for pressure and volume. d. Scale or other contaminants may need to be removed from interior.

OILER SECTION ONLY SHOWN 39 Date of Origin 02/01/08 HUB AND BEARINGS HUB MAINTENANCE Check wheel studs for good condition no stripped threads no bent or loose studs. Replace any broken or bent studs or studs with damage to the threads. When a broken stud is replaced, the stud on each side of it should be replaced at the same time. If more than two studs on the same hub are broken, replace all of the studs. WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION Periodic inspection of wheel bearings and lubricants as well as regular lubricant changes are necessary for good maintenance and maximum wheel bearing life. The hub and/or wheel assembly must be properly cleaned to obtain optimum bearing life. This step also applies to field service. When adding or checking oil level, make certain cap and plug are clean. This step will minimize the possibility of dirt and road grime entering the system. WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT Install adjusting nut so that pin on nut faces away from the hub. 1. 2. Tighten inner nut to 200 ft. lbs. while rotating the hub in both directions. 3. Completely loosen the inner nut, then retighten to 50 ft. lbs. while rotating the hub in both directions. 4. Loosen the inner nut turn. Do not include socket backlash in the turn. 5. Install the lock washer. If the hole in the lock washer is not aligned with inner nut pin, remove the washer, turn it over and reinstall. If the washer hole is still not aligned with the pin, loosen the inner nut slightly until the hole and pin are aligned. Note: The washer may have to be reversed again with minimum loosening of the nut. Install the jam nut; Torque to 300 ft-lbs. 6. 7. Check the hub end play with a magnetic base and dial indicator. a. Place the magnetic base and indicator on the end of the spindle. Touch dial indicator b. Slightly rotate the hub & drum in both directions while pushing inward until the dial stem to hubcap gasket face. indicator reading does not change. c. Set the dial to zero. d. Slightly rotate the hub & drum in both directions while pulling outward until the dial indicator reading does not change. e. Read the end play from the dial indicator. 8. End play between .001 and .005 is acceptable. a. If the end play is less than .001, loosen the jam nut; Repeat steps 1 through 8, and retorque to 300 ft. lbs. If the end play is greater than .005, increase the jam nut torque to 300 ft. lbs. 9. Repeat Steps 6 & 7 as necessary until the end play is within the acceptable range. 10. Bend tabs on lock washer over opposite flats of the jam nut. b. BEARING LUBRICANT The lubricant change interval depends on the type of lubricant used; oil or semi-fluid grease. Oil levels should be checked as part of the daily inspection. Oil should be changed whenever seals are replaced, brakes are relined, or at least every 12 months or 100,000 miles. Fill hubs with new oil to the level indicated on the hub window using HD80-90W heavy duty oil with an API rating of GL-15 or GL-4. CAUTION! DO NOT overfill oil. Oil seal damage may occur due to excessive internal pressure.

Date of Origin 02/01/08 40 Grease lubricated wheel ends should be changed whenever seals are replaced, brakes are relined or at least every 12 months or 100,000 miles with NLGI Grade 1 or 2 grease. To install semi-fluid grease 1. Pack both bearings with grease by forcing grease into the cavities between rollers and cage from the large end of the cone. 2. Apply a light coat of grease to the spindle bearing journals. 3. 4. Fill the cavity between the bearing races with grease up to the smallest diameter of the Install the inner bearing, inner seal and hub. bearing cups. Install the outer bearing and adjust end-play as noted in the Wheel Bearing Adjustment Procedure section. 6. Apply a light coat of grease to the interior of the hubcap and wheel retention hardware to indicate what lubricant is installed as well as to help prevent corrosion of these parts. 5. BRAKES Proper maintenance of the brakes is vitally important. This includes lining inspections and brake adjustments. A schedule for periodic adjustment, cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the brake equipment must be made according to duty cycle and type of operation. Brakes must be adjusted as frequently as required for correct operation and safety. The adjustment must give correct clearance between the lining and drum, correct push rod travel, and correct bal-

ance between the brakes. Improper or inadequate lubrication is the leading cause of dragging brakes/premature brake wear. Brakes must be cleaned, inspected, lubricated and adjusted every time the wheel hubs are re-

moved. During a major overhaul, the following parts must be carefully checked and replaced with genuine replacement parts if required. 1. Backing plates or spiders for distortion and loose bolts. 2. Anchor pins for wear and correct alignment. 3. Brake shoes for wear at anchor pins or roller slots. 4. Camshaft and camshaft bushings for wear. 5. Shoe return springs for wear and loss of strength. 6. Brake linings for grease on the lining, wear, chips, and loose rivets or bolts. 7. Drums for cracks, deep scratches, heat checking or other damage. NOTICE:

Wheel bearings must be correctly adjusted before brake adjustments are made. NOTICE:

Brake linings must not be permitted to wear to the point that the rivets or bolts touch the drum. See the manufacturers maintenance manual for more information and details on brake main-

tenance, repair and trouble shooting. 41 Date of Origin 02/01/08 Air leaks at spring brake chambers, reservoir fittings, drain valves, drop hoses, and connections can cause the air system to perform less efficiently and the compressor to cycle too frequently and may eventually result in dragging brakes. If you suspect air system problems in either service brakes or spring brakes, dont hesitate service the brake system immediately;

Trouble shooting the air brake system:

Use the soap bubble test at all connections throughout the air system to detect external leaks Threaded connections at the ECU Threaded connections at the pressure protection valve Any and all push-in fittings Check for exhaust leaks at all valves to detect internal leaks. Check the actuator and spring brake push rod for proper movement in operational modes. NOTE: Never splice air brake hoses within the air brake system. This action will void part or all of the trailer warranty. Date of Origin 02/01/08 42 AIR BRAKE SYSTEM - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE D N E G E L

43 Date of Origin 02/01/08 BRAKE CONTROLS Proper operation of the brake system requires a good, clean seal between the glad hands. In-

spect the rubber washer on the glad hands for damage. Inspect the glad hands for cracks in the metal parts. The glad hands have a screen filter and must be cleaned. Check air hoses for cracks and leaks. Check the operation of the brakes and slack adjusters. Drain the water from the air brake system each day by opening the drain cocks on the bottom of the air tank(s). Periodically check and clean the filter element on the air line filter, mounted directly behind the Control side glad hand. Observe the ABS status indicator light for proper operation as found under the ABS heading in the SAFETY section. IN-LINE AIR FILTER This trailer is equipped with an in-line air filter, Control side, which is located on the nose of the trailer, to assist in protecting the air system brake valves. The number one cause of ABS valve failure is contamination in the air supply from the tractor. This filter will help in minimizing those problems. To operate properly and provide the most protection possible, the filter should be inspected and cleaned every 3 to 4 months. Proper use and maintenance of the filter will help extend the life of the ABS ECU and will extend the warranty on the ABS ECU. NOTICE:

Trailer is equipped with an in-line filter to assist in protecting the air system brake valves. The in-line filter is serviceable and should be inspected and cleaned every 3 to 4 months. See TP-03100 for maintenance instructions. www.meritorwabco.com 899 201 842 4 Rev 9/08 AIR SYSTEM COLD WEATHER OPERATION Reservoir Draining Daily reservoir draining is the most basic step in reducing the possibility of freeze up. Thawing Frozen Air Lines 1. Maintain freeze prevention devices to prevent frozen air lines. Daily check evaporators or injectors. Check the air dryer for proper operation and change the desiccant when needed. 2. Thaw out frozen air lines and valves by placing vehicle in a warmed building. This is the only method for thawing that will not cause damage to the air system or its components. 3. Do not apply an open flame to air lines and valves. Beyond causing damage to the internal non-metallic parts of valves and melting or burning non-metallic air lines, THIS PRACTICE IS UNSAFE AND CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE FIRE.

CAUTION! Do not pour any alcohol into gladhands. Doing this will result in valve failure and will void the warranty. Fluid in air lines can also cause a fluid lock and keep Date of Origin 02/01/08 44 AIR BRAKE PIPING SCHEMATIC 45 Date of Origin 02/01/08 AIR BRAKE PIPING SCHEMATIC Date of Origin 02/01/08 46 CHECKING SPRING BRAKES Spring breaks must be inspected on a routine basis to insure proper operation. Inspection is recommended a minimum of every 3 months or 25,000 miles.

WARNING! Always chock wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling before per-

forming any brake maintenance. 1. Check overall condition of the foundation brakes including drums, shoes, lining, retainers, return springs, bushings and rollers. Replace any damaged or worn components per manufacturers specifications. 2. Check for obvious structural damage to the spring brakes, brake adjusters, or cam shafts and replace any damaged or worn components per manufacturers specifications. 3. Hook up appropriate air supply and release parking brakes. Apply and fully release Parking Brake several times while watching for brake adjuster movement. Adjusters should apply and retract at relatively the same distance for all wheel positions. 4. To verify equal push rod movement, measure each push rod from the Face of the Air Brake Cham-

ber to the Center of the Clevis Pin with the brakes Fully Set or Parked. Apply air to the chambers to release the parking brakes and re-measure all wheel positions. All strokes should be within 1/8" of each other. 5. Applied Stroke at 90 to 100 psi can also be used to measure in a similar way as in step #4. Apply Service Brakes instead of setting Spring (Emergency) Brakes and record before and after push rod measurements. Measured push rod stroke should not exceed the recommended maximum readjustment limit of 2" for Standard 30/30 chambers and 2 1/2" for Long Stroke 30/30 chambers. AUTOMATIC SLACK ADJUSTERS Effective 10/20/94 all semi-trailers with air brake systems were required to be built with automatic slack adjusters to assist in maintaining the braking system performance. The automatic slack adjusters should be periodically checked to insure that they are performing correctly and should be lubricated on a regular schedule or at least every six months. The following procedure can be used to check the in-service adjustment of air chamber push rod travel (adjusted chamber stroke) on trailer air brakes with automatic slack adjusters. 1. Connect an adequate air supply to the SUPPLY glad hand of the trailers air system. 2. Increase the air pressure to 100 psi minimum to release the auxiliary spring brake cham-

bers. 3. Determine the size and type of brake chamber you are inspecting. 4. With the brakes NOT APPLIED measure the distance from the bottom of the air brake chamber to the center of the large clevis pin on all wheel positions. Record each measure-

ment. 5. Connect a second air supply to the CONTROL glad hand of the trailers air system. 6. Increase the air pressure of the second air supply to 85 to 90 psi to apply the service brakes. 7. With the SERVICE BRAKES APPLIED measure the distance from the bottom of the air brake chamber to the center of the large clevis pin on all wheel positions. Record each measurement. 8. Calculate the adjusted chamber stroke of each brake. Subtract the dimension that was measured in Step #3 from the dimension that was measured in Step #6. The difference between the two dimensions is the adjusted air brake chamber stroke. The adjusted air brake chamber stroke must not be greater than 2 for 30/30 chambers and 1 for 24/20 chambers. If the adjusted air brake chamber stroke is greater than the dimensions listed, inspect the automatic slack adjuster for wear or damage. See manufacturers recommen-

dations for repair or replacement. 47 Date of Origin 02/01/08 WHEEL ASSEMBLIES Inspect parts and components for damage. Replace any defective parts. Use only correctly matched parts when assembling and installing wheels. Incorrect parts can result in separation of the wheel components which can lead to an accident. Assembling painted, dirty, or rusty components can prevent proper mating of parts. Make sure all mounting surfaces are clean and free of rust, dirt, or excessive paint. Make certain all tires are matched to the same rolling circumference per the tire manufacturers instructions. Do not use tires that do not meet this criterion. Doing so may result in unstable operation that can significantly reduce service life. All components must be correctly installed and fasteners tightened to the recommended torque to assure maximum service life in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. WHEEL INSTALLATION Hub piloted disc wheels have stud holes that are drilled straight through the wheel. Pilot bosses machined on the hub fit tightly into the center of the disc wheel. This supplies the alignment of the wheel to hub. Hub Piloted wheels are secured to the hub with flanged nuts. Installation of a Hub Piloted Wheel 1. Be sure not to mix Hub Piloted and Stud Piloted disc wheels. 2. Use the correct flange nuts to match your wheels. Failure to do so may lead to loose wheels which significantly reduce product life and may result in a crash. Before proceeding with the installation of the disc wheels make certain that you are using the proper flange nuts. The Hub Piloted mounting uses M22 x 1.5mm pitch metric thread series nuts. The stud standout should be at least 2.16. All studs have right hand threads. 3. Rotate the hub so that one of the intermittent pilots is located at the top position. 4. Position the inner disc wheel over the studs and wheel pads being careful not to damage the stud threads or the pilot diameter of the wheel. Make sure the disc wheel is flat against the mounting surface and there is clearance between the disc wheel taper and the brake drum. 5. Position the outer disc wheel over the studs and wheel pilot pads being careful not to damage the stud threads or the pilot diameter of the wheel. Be sure the valve stems for both the inner and outer tires are accessible. Install the flange nuts and tighten to 50 ft. lbs following the sequence shown. Note: On two piece flange nuts, apply a drop of oil between the nut and washer. Make sure the flange washer is not seized to the nut. Do not lubricate the mounting surface of the drum or wheel, or the stud threads. 7. Check both disc wheels for proper positioning on pilots and proper sealing against the drum/hub assembly. If they are not, loosen the flange nuts and reposition the wheels. 8. Tighten the flange nuts to 450 to 500 ft. lbs. dry thread torque following the sequence below. 6. Recheck the torque after the first 50 to 100 miles of service and at every pre-trip inspection. Date of Origin 02/01/08 48

Keep unnecessary personnel away when raising and lowering trailer and changing tires. Do not climb under a raised trailer. Do not leave a raised trailer unattended. Avoid raising a loaded trailer whenever possible. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Position trailer on a level, hard surface capable of supporting the total vehicle weight and lifting equipment. Set brakes and block wheels at other locations to prevent movement. If a loaded trailer must be raised for changing tires, take appropriate precautions to reduce risk of tipping, load shifting, or structural damage. If necessary, use two lifting devices and raise both sides of the trailer evenly to prevent leaning and tipping. Position the jacks or lifting devices under the axle, as close to the outer end as pos-

sible. Use care to avoid placement that will cause contact and damage to other com-

ponents such as brake chambers, cam shafts, U-bolts, and slack adjusters. Raise the trailer at a slow, steady rate until the tires to be removed are off the ground. If using two lifting devices, raise both sides of the trailer evenly to avoid leaning and tipping. Position trailer supports under trailer frame or axle to prevent unexpected lowering of the trailer. Remove the nuts securing the tires and remove the tire(s) using a tire fork or similar device to lift the tire(s). Install the replacement tire(s). Refer to the appropriate section of the Owners Manual for specific instructions for wheel installation. Torque the securing nuts to 450 to 500 ft. lbs. (dry) Remove trailer supports Lower the trailer to the ground at a slow, steady rate. If two lifting devices are used, lower both sides evenly to avoid leaning and tipping. Watch for pinch points to ensure no electrical or pneumatic lines will be damaged. Remove lifting devices and check wheel nuts to ensure they are torqued to the speci-

fied values. Inspect suspension components for damage or improper adjustment resulting from raising and lowering the trailer. Repair any damaged components as necessary. Remove blocks from wheels. 49 Date of Origin 02/01/08 AXLE ALIGNMENT Proper axle alignment is a vital part of trailer maintenance. Failure to maintain proper alignment may cause tire scrubbing and suspension component strain. Your trailers alignment should be checked regularly and the axles realigned when required to prevent unnecessary tire wear. 1. To properly align the suspension make sure the trailer is unloaded. Free the suspension of any binds by first pushing the trailer backwards and then pulling it forward a sufficient distance. Check axle alignment with the trailer on a level surface with the trailer level both side to side and front to back, with tires properly inflated, trailer securely restrained, trailer brakes (service & parking) released and with the trailer ride height valve properly set (if an air ride). 2. Check each dual tire set. Tires of each set must be matched to a maximum of 1/8 tire radius. Air pressure must be the same in all tires. 3. Using a steel measuring tape, measure from the center point on the bottom of the king pin to identical locations on each end of the front axle using a consistent amount of pressure on the tape measure. If these measurements differ by more than 1/16, adjust one end of the front axle forward or rearward until identical measurements are obtained on both ends. 5. After the front axle is aligned and secured, measure from the end of the front axle to the end 4. of the rear axle on each side. If these measurements differ by more than 1/16, adjust one end of the rear axle forward or rearward until identical measurements are obtained on both ends. 6. Spring suspensions are equipped with screw adjusted torque arms located on the drivers left side of the trailer. Adjustment of the alignment is accomplished by turning the torque arm in or out, depending on the adjustment required. 1. Loosen the radius rod clamp bolts. 2. Move the left end of the axle forward (shorten the alignment measurement) by turning the torque arm to make it shorter. Move the left end of the axle rearward (lengthen the alignment measurement) by turning the torque arm to make it longer. 3. Check the alignment measurements. Repeat the adjustment in Step #2 as necessary. 4. When the axle is correctly aligned, tighten the radius rod clamp bolts to 130 ft. lbs. oiled or 170 ft. lbs. dry. Note: Check the clamp bolt torque within the first 50 to 100 miles of operation following align-

ment. Air ride suspensions are equipped with mechanisms to allow the movement of one end of the axle forward or rearward for the purpose of aligning the trailer axles. Inspect the hanger pivot bushings as well as all other suspension components before adjusting the alignment. Date of Origin 02/01/08 50 The SAF Holland RL-230 or RL-250 suspensions use a bolt at the suspension pivot connection with an eccentric collar to allow for adjustment for axle alignment. 1. Loosen the 1 1/8 pivot bolt lock nut on the inside of the suspension hanger. 2. Rotate bolt head clockwise to move the axle forward (to shorten the alignment measure-

ment) or rotate bolt head counter clockwise to move the axle rearward (to lengthen the alignment measurement). 3. Snug the hanger bolts to 200 ft. lbs. and check the alignment measurements. Loosen the nut and repeat the adjustments in Step #2 if necessary 4. When the axle is correctly aligned, re-torque the lock nut on the pivot bolt to 550 ft. lbs. The SAF Holland CB2300 & CBX23 suspension with the Quik Align feature uses a bolt on the front the suspension hanger to allow for adjustment for axle alignment. 1. Using a hand wrench, rotate the Quick Align bolt clockwise to shorten the alignment mea-

surement or counter clockwise to lengthen the alignment measurement. AIR-RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS See suspension manufacturers decals prominently displayed on trailer body and manufacturer literature kit supplied with trailer for details and specific instructions on the care and maintenance of the air ride suspension. Retorque the suspension fasteners after the first 3 months of use or 5,000 miles of operation after an alignment, at regular periodic maintenance checks and at every brake relining per the manufacturers directions. NOTE: Never move an air ride trailer without first fully inflating the air springs failure to do so could cause damage to the trailer and suspension and will void the warranty. 51 Date of Origin 02/01/08 AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SCHEMATIC Trouble shooting hints for air piping systems:

Check all push-in and T-fittings. Are they locked into place?

Check all threaded connections to the spring brakes Check push-in fittings at the lift box (if applicable) Check push-in fitting at ride height box (bottom of the box) Threaded connections at the gladhands on the nose of the trailer Check push-in fittings at top of air bags Check for adequate supply of air from tractor Is volume and pressure great enough to open Pressure Protection Valve Check free travel and response of Ride Height Valve Date of Origin 02/01/08 52 SPRING SUSPENSION MAINTENANCE After 500 miles or not later than 30 days after purchase, carefully check all fastener torques on the spring suspension and make any adjustments necessary.

Check all suspension bolts no less than every 4 months. They should be tightened to the above torque specifications. (Remember lubricants or sealants on the threads reduce torque reading and paint, corrosion, or road debris on the threads increase readings). Check for and replace worn bushings in the equalizer and in the torque arm eye ends. Use a good rubber lubricant on bushings before installation to prevent damage during installation. Be sure radius rod bolts are tightened back to 540 ft. lbs. (oiled) after replacing any torque arm bushings, and tighten equalizer rocker bolts back to 590 ft. lbs. (oiled) after replacing equalizer bushings. Check the equalizers to see that there is no obstruction to their movement during operation. If equalizer movement is restricted by an obstruction, the axle walk will not be sufficient and damage could result. AXLE CLAMP GROUP AND SPRINGS -

1. Check the torque on the U-bolt nuts by alternately tightening opposing corners of the clamp assembly. See Figure 1. a. When using 7/8 - 14 U-bolts, the nuts should be torqued to a dry level of 470 lb-ft. b. When using 3/4 - 16 U-bolts, the nuts should be torqued to a dry level of 420 lb-ft. Always carefully inspect the spring and axle clampcomponents for any signs of wear or cracks, andreplace if visible wear or cracks are present. RADIUS RODS -

2a. The 1 - 14 radius rod attachment bolts at the hangers and spring seats should be tightened to a dry level of 720 lb-ft. of torque on both the adjustable and non-adjustable radius rods. See Figure 2. 53 Date of Origin 02/01/08 Loose operation of this bolt can result in wear requiring that new components be installed to avoid structural damage. During your visual inspection, if you observe any visible wear or loosening in the bushings, it is imperative that you immediately replace the radius rod bushing and bolt. Failure to replace these components will result in damage to the hanger, spring seat, and/or radius rod. 2b. Next check the 1/2 - 20 radius rod clamp bolt, which should be tightened to a dry level of 85 lb-ft. of torque. The 5/8 - 18 radius rod clamp bolt should be tightened to a dry level of 170 lb-ft of torque. See Figure 2. If the clamp bold has not been properly maintained, then wear between the radius rod screw and the eye end may be observed. If so, then the entire radius rod must be replaced. Simply retightening or replacing the clamp bolt will not correct the problem. ROCKER BUSHINGS -

3. The recommended torque values for the rocker bushing clamp bolts are different for each model. a. b. If you are working on the 7700 model suspension, the 5/8 -18 rocker step bolts should be tightened to a dry level of 170 lb-ft of torque. See Figure 3a. If you are working on the 9700 model suspension, the single 1 1/8 - 7 rocker bolt should be tightened to a dry level of 790 lb-ft of torque. See Figure 3b. During your check, if the bolts are loose a detailed inspection of the rocker is important to ensure that no structural damage has occurred. One way this can be done is by raising the trailer until the trailer weight is taken off the springs. If the rocker is displaced or if the joint is loose, then the rocker should be removed and the rocker and/or rocker bushing be replaced. Again, visually inspect the condition of all rocker/rocker hanger assembly components and replace if visible wear is present. HANGERS -

4. Check all the spring retainer bolts found in the rockers and rear hangers. A dry value of 50 lb-ft of torque should be maintained on all of these bolts. See Figure 4. Date of Origin 02/01/08 54 Loose fasteners that are allowed to operate for any period of time will result in irreversible suspen-

sion damage and possible loss of vehicle control. Retightening a worn fastener will not cor-

rect a situation created by loose operation!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Your Timpte trailer utilizes an internally grounded, automotive style electrical system that meets or exceeds all of the requirements of FMVSS 108. A 7-way plug is located on the front of your trailer. Each terminal carries current from your tractor electrical source through a circuit to the various electrical devices on the trailer. Individual circuits may be traced by the various wire colors. Listed below is a schedule of the color code of the primary electrical circuits. Blue ABS Constant Power Red Stop Lights Black Red Clearance Lights Brown Amber Clearance Lights Use dielectric grease for all electrical connections to prevent corrosion between electrical junc-

tions and to enhance electrical conductivity. (Failure to do so may void warranty.) Do Not splice any electrical harness conductor. Splices may create open circuits or create the potential for dead shorts or ground issues within a circuit. Always replace damaged harnesses and conductors promptly. Splicing or modifying the harness may void warranty. Green Right Turn Signal Yellow Left Turn Signal White Ground

CAUTION FMVSS #121 safety standard for Air Brake System required as of 3/1/1997 that trailers supply constant power via the blue center pin of the 7 way to the ABS system. As of 3/1/2001, all trailers were required to have an ABS system that provided for activation of the system status warning lamp inside the tractor cab. Tractors and trailers using a single 7 way electrical connector will have constant power for the ABS on the center pin when the key switch is on and the ABS unit will communicate to the in cab system status warning lamp. 55 Date of Origin 02/01/08 Date of Origin 02/01/08 56 Lift Box 4-Way Wiring Schmatic 2R3 LIGHT CONFIGURATION 57 Date of Origin 02/01/08 2R5 LIGHT CONFIGURATION Date of Origin 02/01/08 58 2R9 LIGHT CONFIGURATION 59 Date of Origin 02/01/08 LANDING LEGS LANDING GEAR LUBRICATION IS IMPORTANT!

Your landing gear was adequately greased and packed with high quality lubricants when manufac-

tured and will not require additional lubrication for the first five (5) year period of service and operation. Following the initial five year period, it will be necessary to periodically supplement this lubrication to maintain satisfactory performance for your particular application. Re-lubrication should be part of your preventative maintenance program and should be done every month or more often, if required. For low temperature operations (under 20 F) use a lithium or an anhydrous calcium extreme pressure grease that operates down to -65F. For cold weather operations, it is also recommended to fill the gearbox approximately 3/4 full with grease. This helps minimize moisture accumulation, which can freeze, causing hard gear cranking. For moderate temperature operations (20 F to 150 F) use a lithium or an anhydrous calcium extreme pressure grease. Lubricate as follows: (see FIGURE 1) 1. Fully retract the landing gear, then using high gear, lower the leg 2-3 turns and lubricate the lift-screw assembly through grease fitting A (see landing gear legs shown below). Apply lb. of grease. Distribute the lubrication by extending and retracting the leg several times. 2. Lubricate the gearbox, using grease fitting B. Apply lb. of grease 3. Lubricate the bevel gear using grease fitting C. Apply lb. of grease.
