2. Trailer Wheel Bearings (gure 4.3b): Most of the units
are equipped with "EZ-Lube" grease ttings. This allows the
operator to grease the bearings without removing the hubs.
The "EZ-Lube" feature consists of axle spindles that have
been specially drilled and tted with a grease zerk in their
ends (g. 4.3c). When grease is pumped into the zerk, it is
channelled to the inner bearing and then ows back to the
outer bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole.
The trailer wheel bearings should be checked and greased
after the rst 30 days of service then at the beginning of
every season.
