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 observed in the side structure should be correct-
ed immediately to prevent the damage from extending 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 air ride suspensions
for condition of bushings, air leaks, condition of shock absorbers, for proper operation of ride height leveling valve, and
for proper ination of the air springs.
NOTE: Never move an air ride trailer without rst fully inating the air springs – failure to
do so could cause damage to the trailer and suspension and will void the warranty.
