Four Winns uses the Turbo Lube oil bath lubrication
system on SL series model trailers. The Turbo Lube
design rotates individual roller bearings through oil
multiple times per wheel revolution. This system
keeps your hub and bearings cooler, reduces wear
and increases tow vehicle mileage. The Turbo Lube
system is submersible. With the Turbo Lube system
the need to disassemble hubs and repack the wheel
bearings is eliminated. See Figure S18.
