1. Introduction
Thank you for your preference to purchase and operate a Drake Trailer.
In order to obtain best performance and operational life of the trailer it is advisable to comply strictly with
the contents of this manual.
The entire manual must read first to obtain a full understanding of its contents prior to operating the trailer
or commencing maintenance. The following symbols are to be used in the manual to highlight indications
and warnings.
2. Towing Hazards
Loss of control of the truck and trailer combination can result in death or serious injury. The most common
causes for loss of control are:
If you drive too fast, the trailer is more likely to sway, thus increasing the possibility for loss of control.
Collision Hazard
Driving too fast for road conditions can result in loss of control and may result in death or serious injury.
Adjust speed down when towing trailer.
Collision Hazard
An improperly coupled trailer can result in death or serious injury. Before towing trailer, verify that:
2.3 Overloading
An overloaded trailer can result in loss of control, which may result in death or serious injury.
Overloading may also result in tire, wheel, axle or structural failure, and also increased stopping
distances.
Collision Hazard
Do not load a trailer or truck body so that the Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) is exceeded.
Collision Hazard
Always use the steps, grab handles and ladder if available when entering and exiting the trailer.
Falling Hazard
Ensure that three points of contact are maintained when accessing the trailer deck. The gooseneck platform
gate must be closed at all times when conducting work on the platform.
Be sure that the brakes and all of the lights are functioning properly.
Collision Hazard
Failure to connect the electrical connector and air hoses will result in inoperable trailer lights and brakes, and
can lead to a collision. Before towing, verify that all lights, signals and brakes are work properly.
5. Clearance
Collision Hazard
Always be aware of the trailer size (including load) and available clearance when using the truck/trailer
combination.

DOLLY WHEEL CHANGING PROCEDURE (BOTTLE JACK) DOC No NB2 003
Wear your Safety Vest when changing a tyre at all Public places, Road Sites,
Shipping Ports and if visibility is poor in other locations.
Changing inside wheels: When the inside wheel need to be changed and access to the
wheel nuts is limited, the dolly will need to be widened. Follow the widening procedure
in this manual to gain access to the wheel nuts and room to take the wheel off.
When the Dolly has a flat tyre a bottle jack can be placed under the respective
axle unit and jacked up.
On wheel changes try to match other tyres & check condition of tyre set.
Chock wheels of Primemover before brakes are released on float when centring
wheels.
1. Select the appropriate axle unit and place Bottle Jack under the
centre of the Lower Suspension of axle to be elevated.
2. Using the wheel brace undo the wheel nuts an eighth of a turn.
3. Operate Bottle Jack and Raise the Axle on the side that the tyre is being
replaced.
The axle unit that the wheel has to be changed on is now off the ground.
4. Loosen all wheel nuts so that the outside face of each nut is flush with it’s
respective stud. This is to prevent the dogs on the studs from flying off and
possibly injuring yourself or others.
6. Remove wheel nuts and wheel. (If the wheel being changed is the inside
wheel, remove spacer and then inner wheel.)
7. Clean off any dirt deposits from wheel rims, dogs, studs, nuts, axle and spacer.
8. Position replacement wheel on axle and fit dogs onto studs ensuring valve
stems and Rim Locks are clear of wheel spokes. (If the wheel on the inside
is being replaced, position inside wheel then spacer then outer wheel.)
9. Do up nuts firmly by hand and rotate wheel and check for centering.
(Gauge centring by looking at the gap between wheel outside, and the toe
of your boot. This gap should remain constant if the wheel is centred
correctly.)

York trailer axles are guaranteed as set out in the Warranty document.
Further to all of the stipulations therein, attention to the following is crucial to that
warranty:-
(i) No York axle should be loaded to more than the design load of 10 tonnes or the
design load agreed to by York (in writing) for any particular application.
(ii) York axles must not be operated with the brake torque (chamber size and lever
length) in excess of the Australian Design Rule compliance for that trailer.
(iii) All welding to York axle beams should be carried out strictly in accordance
with York's technical specifications.
(iv) At point of manufacture, York have adjusted the wheel bearings in accordance
with York's technical specification. This must be checked at the first 5000 Km
service and readjusted, if necessary, to be within this range.
(v) York have marked the outer nut at the spindle keyway to provide a reference
to the initial factory setting. When the bearings have been readjusted the mark
might not be at the keyway, this will be because of the bearings "settling in"
during the initial service period. The locknut must be re-torqued to 380 to
400Nm each time the bearings are rechecked.
NOTE: Recommended torque settings, dry threads (the use of power tools
for torque settings is not recommended)
1st & every 5,000 km - Check and adjust brakes and check brake linings for wear.
Every 25,000 km - Lubricate slack adjuster and camshafts using Castrol APXT
grease or an approved YORK equivalent.
- Rotate wheels and check wheel bearings to ascertain if there is
excessive bearing movement. Readjust as necessary.
Every 100,000 km - Remove hubcaps, inspect bearings and lubrication. Readjust and
re-torque the outer nut, resecure lock tabs.
- Visually check the axle and ancilliary components for cracking,
damage and wear. Repair or replace as necessary.
Every 300,000 km - Remove, wash and inspect wheel bearings, replace if necessary.
- When re-assembling, bearings must be properly lubricated and
adjusted to York's specifications. IMPORTANT NOTE - If the
operating service conditions are severe, this procedure may be
required at more frequent intervals. Re-adjust bearings after
5,000 km, if bearings are replaced.
We recommend that all axles should have the wheel bearings adjusted initially after the
first 5,000 km and then at 100,000 km intervals. This does not preclude the need for inspecion
and adjustment as necessary every 25,000 kms if service conditions require this.
1. Make sure that the hub revolves freely and if necessary temporarily slacken off the brake
adjustment to ensure complete freedom from brake binding (drag).
2 Rotate the hub in both directions at the same time tightening the bearing adjusting nut.
Continue until a binding is felt and a torque setting of 110/130 Nm is reached.
3. Using the lockwasher as a guide, slacken the adjusting nut back 6 holes (approximately one
third of a turn) and refit the lockwasher. Fit the lock-tab washer. Taking care that the adjust
ment is not disturbed, fit and tighten the axle locknut to 380/400 Nm.
Check that the hub and drum rotates freely. Bend the tabs on the lock-tab washer over to
prevent the locknut coming loose in service.
HUB MAINTENANCE:
1. Thoroughly clean and inspect any hub that has been removed for service. Discard used seals and gaskets. Use new
seals and gaskets on reinstallation and replace worn or damaged parts.
2. Clean and inspect the wheel bearings, spacer and hub each time the hub is removed or when contamination is
evident. If a bearing, cup or spacer needs to be replaced, replace all bearings and cups. See "Bearing Cup
Replacement" under "Hubs with Manually Adjusted Bearings." Also, replace the spacer if it shows signs of
damage. See the "Part Number Identification" chart for part numbers.
3. If, in case of emergency field repair, the PreSet hub bearings as listed in the identification chart are not available,
your PreSet hub can be easily converted (see "Conversion Procedure" below) into a conventionally manually
adjusted hub and bearing set by removing the spacer. Be sure to follow the manual bearing adjustment procedure
(see "Specifications") if you convert your PreSet hub to the manually adjusted system.
4. For additional service information, see the required topic under "Hubs with Manually Adjusted Bearings".
CONVERSION PROCEDURE:
If any parts identified as manual adjust parts are used to service a PreSet hub follow the procedure below.
1. Remove the tubular spacer from the assembly. It is not used when the bearings are manually adjusted. Save the
tubular spacer so the hub can be converted back into a PreSet hub.
2. Assemble the hub onto the spindle as a conventional hub and bearing assembly, as described in the section
"Hubs with Manually Adjusted Bearings."
3. Use a spindle lock nut system as used on manually adjusted hubs to establish the bearing adjustment.
4. To return the hub to Preset configuration, replace all manual adjust cups, cones and seal with the PreSet parts
listed in the "Part Number Identification" chart. Next, install the hub with the spacer following the instructions for
"Installation" on page 7.
HUB MAINTENANCE:
1. Clean and inspect the wheel bearings and seal bore each time the hub is removed or when contamination is
evident. Replace damaged bearings and cups as a unit (see "Bearing Cup Replacement").
2. See axle manufacturers publications for lubrication requirements and bearing service intervals.
1. Replace wheel studs that have damaged or distorted threads, are broken or bent, or are badly corroded. Also,
replace the stud either side of the stud being replaced due to damage. If two or more studs have damage, replace
all the studs in the hub.
2. Always use appropriate safety equipment and take appropriate safety precautions for the job. Safety glasses,
gloves, ear protection etc., will be necessary depending on the equipment and process.
1. Place the clean hub on a press with the hub supported evenly around and adjacent to the stud being removed.
2. Be sure the hub supported so that it will not tip when force is applied to the stud. Then press the stud out of the
hub.
The configuration of some hubs is such that it is impractical to have supports that will prevent the hub from
tipping when force is applied to the stud. If that is the case, support the hub on wood blocks on the floor and use a
hammer to drive the studs out with several sharp blows. Be careful to avoid damage to the hub, particularly to the
seal bore and ABS ring.
WARNING! If the stud head is embedded into the hub, the hub should be replaced.
Alternate Procedure:
Use an electric welder to weld a large bead around the bearing surface of the steel cup. Do not spatter weld on to
the hub. Let the assembly cool, or quench it in water. The weld will cause the cup to shrink enough to allow it to
be easily removed.
5. To replace the bearing cup, heat the hub evenly as in step 3 above.
6. Remove the hub from the oven or water quickly and press in the new bearing cup. Be sure the cup is properly
aligned and fully seated. Take care to avoid damage to the bearing bore and shoulder. Be sure both cups are fully
seated before installing the hub. If the cup is being pressed into an unheated hub, additional installation force will
be required. To reduce the installation force the cup can be put in a freezer for an hour prior to installation.
INSTALLATION:
1. All PreSet hubs are shipped ready for installation with a thin film of lubricant on the bearings. (Additional
lubricant will have to be added after installation). Use only clean parts for service.
2. Install the PreSet hub all the way onto the spindle. Allow the temporary plastic alignment sleeve, if present, to be
pushed out of the PreSet hub as it is installed onto the spindle. If an alignment sleeve was present, it can be
discarded.
Once the hub is on the spindle, Never remove the outer bearing. Removing the outer bearing may cause the seal
to become misaligned, resulting in premature seal failure.
3. Remove the temporary plastic bearing cover and install the spindle nut. Torque the spindle nut to 400 Nm.
(300 lbft.) Do not back off the spindle nut. It may be necessary to tighten the spindle nut a little more to allow the
alignment of the lock washer with the spindle nut. Install the lock tab washer and outer lock nut, torque the lock nut
to 280 Nm. (200 lbft.)
4. Install the hub cap on the hub. The hub cap bolt holes must be free of debris, such as silicon gasket sealer, to
ensure that the bolts will tighten properly to avoid leaks. Always use new gaskets. Use the recommended
lubricants to fill the hub, with oil lubricated hubs it may be necessary to add oil to the hub three or four times to
assure the correct oil volume.
Free Stroke
Free stroke is the distance the slack arm moves in order to
make the brake shoes contact the drum. Move the slack
arm with a small pry bar and measure the movement
OKE
distance. This distance should be 10mm to 16mm. *STR
Back Torque
With the Autoslack correctly installed on the axle, Back
Torque (CCW Rotation) can be measured. Using a torque
wrench, turn the Adjusting Hex CCW. Back Torque will
increase to a peak value, then return to zero as the ratchet
clutch disengages. CCW
Replace Autoslack if the Back (CCW) Torque reading
is less than 12 ft.lbs. (16 Nm.) 12 ft.lbs. MIN

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Perform these procedures with the area clear of obstacles and other
personnel.
COUPlING PROCEdURES
2. Back up close to the trailer, centering the kingpin on the throat of the fifth wheel. STOP.
3. Block the trailer wheels, connect the brake lines and light cord. Be sure any slack in the lines is supported
so the brake lines do not become tangled. Set the trailer brakes.
4. Check to see that the trailer is at the proper height for coupling. The leading edge of the trailer upper
coupler plate should initially contact the fifth wheel top bearing surface 4” to 6” behind its pivot axis as the
tractor backs under the trailer. Using low gear, raise or lower the trailer landing gear as required to obtain
this position.
Attempting to couple with the trailer at an improper height could result in a false or
improper coupling and cause damage to the tractor, fifth wheel, or trailer.
WARNING
5. Back under the trailer, keeping the trailer kingpin centered in the throat of the fifth wheel.
6. After picking up the trailer with the fifth wheel – STOP – continue backing until the fifth wheel locks firmly on
the kingpin. Stopping helps prevent hitting the kingpin too hard.
7. Back up tightly against the kingpin. Then pull forward to test the completeness of the coupling as an
INITIAL check.
A direct visual inspection is required to assure proper coupling. Improper
coupling can pass the initial pull test. Sound is unreliable. do not take for granted
WARNING that you are properly couple. Get out of the cab and look.
8. Visually check to see that the kingpin is in the fifth wheel locks, TYPE ‘A’ LOCK
not overhanging the fifth wheel or caught in a grease groove. BOLSTER PLATE FLUSH WITH FIFTH WHEEL
These should be no gap between the trailer bolster plate and
the fifth wheel. (See FIGURE 1) Check for proper coupling by
looking into the throat of the fifth wheel. Check the locks as
shown in FIGURE 1 for Type “A” locks.
PLUNGER NO GAP
10. Using low gear, retract the landing gear until unloaded. Then, shift to high gear and continue cranking until
they are fully retracted. Fold down or remove the crank handle and place it in the crank handle holder.
12. Remove the wheel blocks and continue with pre-tip inspection.

UNCOUPlING PROCEdURES
2. Back into the kingpin and set emergency brake on the tractor.
4. Wind down the landing gears in high gear until they touch the ground.
Shift to low gear and crank a few extra turns. Do not raise the trailer off the fifth wheel. It may be
necessary to provide a base for the landing gear in poor parking conditions. Fold down or remove the
crank handle and place it in the crank handle holder.
5. Disconnect the light cord and brake lines. Attach the dummy air coupling to keep foreign material from
entering the brake lines.
6. Unlock the fifth wheel, including the manual secondary lock if so equipped.
7. Release the tractor emergency brake and pull out slowly from under the trailer. Let the trailer slide down
the fifth wheel and pick-up ramps, being careful that the trailer landing gear touches the ground with
minimal impact. NOTE: When uncoupling the Type A fifth wheel, it is normal for the release handle to move
to the closed position. It is not necessary to pull the release handle to recouple.
