Multiquip LT12D Manuel D’Utilisation

NEVER crawl under the trailer unless it is on fi rm 
and level ground and resting on properly placed and 
secured jackstands.

The possibility exists of the trailer falling thus causing 
equipment damage and severe bodily harm even 
death!

When performing trailer inspection and maintenance 
activities, you must jack up the trailer using jacks and 
jackstands.

When jacking and using jackstands, place them so 
as to clear wiring, brake lines, and suspension parts 
(i.e., springs, torsion bars). Place jacks and jackstands 
inside of the perimeter strip on the supporting structure 
to which the axles are attached.

Improper weld repair will lead to early failure of the trailer 
structure and can cause serious injury or death.

DO NOT repair cracked or broken welds unless you 
have a certifi ed welder perform the repair. If not, have 
the welds repaired by your dealer.

If the trailer is involved in an accident, have it inspected 
immediately by qualifi ed personnel. In addition, the 
trailer should be inspected annually for signs of wear 
or deformations.

The leaf suspension springs and associated components 
(Figure 25) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles 
for signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and 
loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts 
(suspension) immediately.

Worn or broken suspension parts can cause loss of 
control, damage to equipment and severe bodily injury, 
even death!

Check suspension regularly.
