 ThetrailerisequippedwiththeVAULTbearingprotector.TheVAULTusesonlyHybridOil™
lubricant,whichcombinesthebenetsofoilandgrease.TheVAULTprotectsthe
wheelbearingsinasealed,pressurizedchamberthatisunaectedbyoutside
elements.Foroptimalperformance,onlyUFP’sHybridOilLubricantshouldbe
used in this system.
 Thesystemhasanumberofuniquefeaturesnotfoundonconventionaltrailer
axles.Everypossibleleakpointonthefrontandrearofthehubissealed.The
slight pressure inside the hub is needed to keep water out of the hub chamber
when the hub is submerged underwater during loading and unloading.
 Inspectionorreplenishmentofthelubricantisnotrequiredaspartoftherou-
tine maintenance.
 AddingorchangingthelubricantintheVAULTsystemisneithernecessarynor
recommendedduringtherstveyearsofservice.Afterthattime,themainte-
nancerequirementsshouldbeundertakenonlybyan
authorizedAxisdealerandonlythelubricantspeci-
edaboveshouldbeused.
If the bearings need to be adjusted or replaced, the
workshouldbedoneonlybyanauthorizedAxisdeal-
er.FailuretocontactAxisforpre-approvalduringthe
warranty period will void the warranty.
 Thewheelbearingshavebeenpreciselytorque-set
atthefactory.Toassurethebearingsareingood
working order, check the bearing adjustment at least
onceayearbyfollowingthisprocedure:Jackupon
one side of the trailer. (Be certain to use jack stands
and check the trailer wheels to keep the trailer from
movingduringtheinspection.)Griptheedgeofthe
tire and see if it can be rocked or moved. If the outer
edgeofthetiremovesmorethan1/8”,thebearings
may need to be readjusted.
A slight amount of oil seepage at the rear seal is normal and necessary to lubricate the wiper
lipofthesealforlonglifeandsealingcontaminantsout.Ifexcessiveleakageisoccurring,how-
ever,contactanauthorizedAxistrailerdealer.
Because the wheels and hubs
will be submerged in water at
times,theyrequiremoreat-
tention than those found on a
toworregularvehicle.Wheels
should be regularly washed
with mild soap or detergent to
retainthenishandremove
any corrosive elements. Never
use harsh detergent or scrub
brushes that can damage the
appearance. If the boat is stored in an area that
experiencessnow,Axishighlyrecommends
periodically checking and cleaning the wheels
during the winter. Salt and chemical treat-
ments used to remove snow and ice from roads
and parking lots can settle on the wheels and
causedamagetothenish.Suchdamageisnot
covered under warranty.
