I.

Brakes

Keep the actuator clean of dirt, tar, and mud. The
actuator and internal parts should be lubri cated at all
times with SAE 30 weight oil. The hitch ball may be
lubricated with automotive grease or lubricant made
for hitch balls.
Periodically inspect the brake system for leaks.
Check all hoses for cuts or wear. Replace all defec-
tive hoses. The master cylinder should be filled within
1/2 inch from the top of the reservoir.
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 unavail able, a brake or auto
repair facility can perform the repair.
Refer to the manufact urer's litera ture included in
the owner's packet for additional information on the
brake system.
J. Bearings
Wheel bearings and seals should be inspected at the
same time as brakes. Have worn or defec tive parts
replaced.
Four Winns uses the Turbo Lube oil bath lubrication
system on SL 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 increas-
es 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 S17.

Some time should be given to allow oil to pass
through the bearings and level off.
3. Replace oil filling plug.
4. Check oil level. Add oil if necessary (repeating
step 1,2 & 3).
5. Check oil level in the Turbo Lube Hub before each
trip. Add oil if required to the bottom of the filler
hole on cap.
