E. Winch
The winch should be kept clean of dirt, ice, paint,
etc., and the spur gears should have a film of grease
on them at all times. Apply several drops of SAE 30
weight oil to the ratchet pawl mechanism, bushings
and pinion shaft threads twice per season.
B. Bunks
The bunks should be replaced if they are cracked,
warped, or evidence of dry-rot is found. The replace-
ment boards should be treated lumber of the same
length and width.
Replace any worn or damaged parts. For more infor-
mation on maintenance, refer to the manufacturer’s
literature included in the owner’s packet.
F. Lights
DO NOT burn damaged or broken bunks.
Toxic fumes will be released. Dispose of
bunks properly.
Inspect wiring for cuts or bare wire which could cause
electrical shorts. Repair or replace defective wiring.
Replace cracked or damaged lens and always carry
spare bulbs. Replacement parts may be ordered
through a Four Winns dealer.
C. Swivel Jack
Keep the swivel jack clean of dirt, tar, and mud.
Lubricate every six months. The swivel jack’s inner
ram should be lubricated with SAE 30 weight oil. The
top cover may be removed to lubricate the gears with
wheel bearing grease.
G. Tie-downs
Replace frayed or damaged tie-downs. Periodically,
lubricate the ratchet mechanism with a fine oil or
silicone spray. Replacement parts may be ordered
through a Four Winns dealer.
Replace all worn and damaged parts. ALWAYS use
the manufacturer’s replacement parts. Replace-
ment parts may be ordered through your Four Winns
dealer.
H. Wheels
Some maintenance is required to maintain the finish
and retard rusting of painted rims. The wheels should
be cleaned with dishwashing soap and water and
rinsed with clean water immediately after each use.
Waxing is recommended three to four times each
year.
For more information on maintenance, refer to the
manufacturer’s literature included in the owner’s
packet.
D. Brake Actuator & Coupling Assembly
Aluminum wheel rims may be cleaned with dishwas-
hing soap and water. However, cleaning products
specifically for aluminum are available and can be
used. Cleaners may be obtained from Four Winns
dealers and your local auto parts stores. The Mag
wheel manufacturer recommends a product by Prior-
®
ity One called Pro-Long Aluminum/Chrome Wheel
Protectant™. Galvanized rims should be rinsed only
with clean water immediately after each use.
When storing or parking your trailer, keep the brake
actuator and coupling assembly (coupler) off the
ground to prevent dirt buildup in the ball socket. Keep
the coupler clean of dirt, tar, and mud. Lubricate the
coupler with SAE 30 weight oil every six months or as
often as necessary. Replace any worn or defective
parts. If the coupler is damaged, contact your Four
Winns dealer for replacement parts. DO NOT use a
damaged or bent coupler assembly.
