Trailer Wheel Bearings (figure 4.3b): Most of
ODB's units are equipped with "EZ-Lube" grease
fittings. This allows the operator to grease the
bearings without removing the hubs. The "EZLube" feature consists of axle spindles that have
been specially drilled and fitted with a grease zerk
in their ends (fig. 4.3c). When grease is pumped
into the zerk, it is channelled to the inner bearing
and then flows back to the outer bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole. The trailer
wheel bearings should be checked and greased
after the first 30 days of service then at the beginning of every season.
Grease specifications:
