Lubricating Tailgate-Locking Mechanism and Hinges
It is important to lubricate the tailgate-locking mechanism and tailgate hinges and cylinders with
multipurpose grease (see Recommended Lubricants on page 99) as per the lubrication schedule.
NOTE: In co-mingle units, tailgate hooks must also be lubricated regularly.
Also, inspect the welds around the hinges. The proper working condition of the following
components is also to be checked:
Tailgate hydraulic cylinders
Cylinder pins and circlips
Tailgate hinges and pins
Wear on the locking mechanism
Wear on the tailgate-locking pins
Tailgate rubber seal
Caution!
Excessive wear may compromise the proper working condition of the tailgate.
