S - 6 AXLE INSPECTION & REPAIRS
As a general rule, repairs and maintenance should be
performed by qualified servicing personnel. Our axle
manufacturer recommends that a certified mechanic
should be consulted on the following items:
At the beginning of each year, inspect the brakes for
excessive wear, have linings replaced if necessary.
If the brakes need bleeding, consult your Four Winns
dealer for assistance. If unavailable, a brake or auto
repair facility can perform the repair.

Four Winns uses the Accu-Lube™ bearing protection
system on its trailers. The Accu-Lube™ design is
submersible and provides for grease flow that com-
pletely repacks and protects the bearings. This
lubrication system disallows water entry, thus extend-
ing the life of the bearings, spindle and hub.
A. Removal of Hub
The following instructions pertain only to trailers
manufactured by Four Winns. To remove the hub to
inspect the bearings and seals, refer to Figure S16
and the following instructions:
Lubricate the bearings as follows:
