Inspection, Service and Maintenance
Bri-Mar 128
Disconnect the accessory battery when you do not plan to be using the
trailer for an extended period, such as seasonal storage. Remove the
cables from the battery terminals.
The accessory battery must be kept in a charged condition during
storage. The battery could freeze and break if it becomes discharged.
8.2.9 Accessory DC Power Unit
A DC hydraulic power unit is used on powered dump trailers. The
hydraulic system is under extreme pressure. Pressure will be in the
hydraulic cylinder(s) and line(s) even when the power unit is not
operating. Never disconnect a hydraulic line or fitting without first
supporting the empty dump body using the body safety prop.
In the event of a system leak, hydraulic fluid can be expelled at high
velocity piercing the skin and entering the blood stream. Wear eye and
skin protection when servicing the hydraulic system. Do not wear
jewelry or metal objects when servicing the power unit. Disconnect the
ground wire first and then the positive wire from the power unit and the
battery to prevent inadvertent operation while servicing the unit.
Reconnect the battery in reverse order to prevent tools from contacting
the frame and short circuiting the battery.
Please contact Bri-Mar Manufacturing LLC for service information on
your power unit.
