INSPECTION
At regular intervals, the HXL5
®
hub assembly should be
checked for seal leaks and smooth rotation�
WARNING: Prior to performing inspection
procedures, help ensure conditions
are safe by following section
PREPARING TRAILER FOR SERVICE.
NOTE: Recommended inspection intervals are based
on an average trailer usage of 100,000
miles (160,000 km) per year� Higher usage
would require more frequent inspections�
Refer to Hendrickson literature number L578
Suspension Preventive Maintenance Guide for
more details�
Inspections should be performed:
• Daily pre-operation check� This would include a
general walk around to check for signs of obvious
damage, wear or other abnormalities�
• Every month, visually inspect back of the hub and
the hubcap for leakage� Refer to the section titled
CHECKING FOR SEAL LEAKS for complete inspection
details�
• Every three to four months:
− Perform monthly inspection�
− Check for smooth rotation�
» Refer to the section titled CHECKING FOR
SMOOTH ROTATION for details�
» If assistance is required or the hub feels
rough, sounds noisy or does not rotate freely,
refer to CONTACTING HENDRICKSON Technical
Services department for further assistance�
• During brake service - at this time, wheels are
removed making it easy to perform quarterly
inspections�
Refer to Hendrickson literature number L578 for
additional recommended suspension inspection
procedures�
