WHAT TO CHECK . . . HOW TO CHECK
WELDS: Every 6 months or 6,000
miles, check all welds for fractures
or cracks. Also, check steel surfaces
around the welds for any sign of
cracking. If you do detect any of
these conditions, immediately
contact your Wells Cargo Dealer, or
call Wells Cargo.
HINGES: Keep Hinges clean and
clear of salt and road dirt. Proper
maintenance will keep hinges
from binding or freezing. Newer
models: Steel hinges with a free
flow pin and a grease zerks require
greasing every 3 months. A Lithium
complex grease is adequate for this
routine maintenance. Older models:
Lubricate with WD 40 or equivalent
light oil.
TIE-DOWN DEVICES (ALL):
Check regularly for any signs of
fracturing, distortion and improper
anchoring. Replace as needed.
TRAILER BODY: Keep your trailer
clean, both interior and exterior.
The exterior metal skin, roof caps,
and wheels (standard, chrome, and
aluminum) should be waxed at
least once a year — more often if
needed. Any anodized aluminum
including the roof cove and trim
accents should be cleaned with a
mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly,
and waxed as well. Do not use
excessive abrasive cleaners as it may
mar the protective finish. Make
sure to touch up scratches. Scratches
on the A-Frame and any exposed
steel parts should be sanded,
primed, and painted. Regular at-
tention to these simple details will
maintain the attractive appearance
of your trailer. It will also help
increase the service life and resale
value already inherent in your
Wells Cargo trailer.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Just
like an automobile, your trailer’s
exterior skin will look better longer
if washed regularly. Dirt, road salt,
acid rain, and air pollution can cause
unsightly stains. If caught early,
stains can be cleaned with a mild
detergent. If left unattended, stain
removal may require a commercial
grade cleaner; or worse cause
permanent damage. Call the Wells
Cargo Parts Department at
1-800-348-7553 for cleaner
recommendations.
SNOW LOAD ON TRAILER
ROOF: Remove excess snow from
the roof of your trailer. Units
that sit for an extended period of
time can accumulate an excessive
amount of snow and ice. This can
cause your roof to collapse.
SNOW MELT AND WATER
DAMAGE: Do not allow water to
accumulate and pool inside trailer.
(Example: snow melt off snowmobile.)
Over time, this could cause interior
floor damage and shorten the
life of your trailer. Open the rear
door(s) and “jack-up” the front of
your trailer. This allows the water
to drain out the rear.
