Wheel Hubs:
Grease the hubs once a year, or before long periods of storage. There are grease
fittings located on the back of each hub for this purpose. If your hub does not have a grease fit-
ting, you will have to hand pack your bearings. When greasing or packing your bearings you will
want to use Hi-Temp Wheel Bearing grease only. If using a grease gun, we recommend a couple
pumps for this.
◆
Trailer Bed Pivot Point:
Grease the pivot points for the trailers bed once a month, or before long
periods of storage. To reach the grease fitting you will raise the bed, and use the grease fittings
located at the pivot point. We recommend multipurpose grease for the pivot points.
