Nev-R-Lube Drums/Bearings

All Caravel models are equipped with Nev-R-
Lube bearings� Dexter's Nev-R-Lube bearings are
comprised of opposed tapered roller bearing cones
sealed inside a precision-ground, one-piece, double-
cup arrangement� These bearings are designed with
a small amount of axial end-play� The end-play is
essential to the longevity of the bearing's service life�

operate the jack by placing the manual override
