12 Supplement of the Cana dia ýi a tesman, April 28, 1976 uBearinghs ned cre to traiiedrate ta lubricate the ratiers or bails, spacers and races. Should yau travel on wet raads for a long periad at time, or back a boat trailer inta the water, the saap thickener may absarb same water and meit, (as a bar of soap daes in the. bathtub) and with no thickener available, the ail wi Il seep out of the bearings and cause griet. If the bearing rotates taa fast tar the grade of grease used, then it isforced away fram the roiiers and leaves the races dry. If the bearing gets hot due ta prolonged highway speeds in summer, the soap will melt, leaving aniy ail, that may run out and Ileave the races dry. Chahging whteel bearings is a messy job but if a good qualtty grease is used the job need flot be done as otten. Wheel bearing failure or seizure is a common oc- curence with trailers, especially travel traillers. Its na picnic to have ane wheel of your trailer iack up like a vice, especiaiiy when yau're daing 70 mp' h on the high- wjay or waorse stii, ta have the bearings heat ta such an extent that it sets the'brake uines an ftire. It can be very uncamrfartabie'tawing a bont ire, especially on a busy highwNay. one sure way ta pratect yourself and yaur trailer fram wheei bearing seizure is ta insure the bearings are praperly packed, and lubricated at ail times.' Bath bal and ralier bearings, if they are praperiy handled and fitted with care, and subsequentiy iubricated with the carrect grade af'ail ar grease, wili give lang-and very U.seful lite, pravided they are nat subjected ta averioads. When discussing lubricatian we must realize exactiy what grease is and haw it warks. To explain, let us state that grease daesn't lubricate - ail lubricates. To simplify, grease is just ail in which variaus types of saap is add ed ta act as a thickener. Compare this toaa spange that is full of ail.

When chaasing a i'ubricant fIor such a severe job, one shouldn't skimp on quality for the service expected tram bearings. Cheap greases are' used more often because af price than for any other reasan, but the extra fractianai amaunt spent an quality moiybden'umized lubricants can pay dividends many times over in reduced maintenance casts. Peace of mind that yaur equipment is safety pratected f ram the normal failures of conventionai lubricants, is a feature of Maiysiip Muti-Purpose Grease and safety has no price tag. The molySlip Multi-Purpose grease will stand up under any severe conditions. With lack of lubricatian beariflgs can't be expected to last too long. These prabiems have a number of praduct solutions but one that stands out in mind is Malyslip Multi- Purpase Grease. Moiyslip Multi-Purpose Grease is farmulated with a synthetic "spange" (thickener) that makes it campieteiy waterproof. and wiil nat soften under the most arduaus conditions and, as a matter of tact, wiiI nat meit at any temperature. Molyslip Muiti- Purpase Grease can be pumped in temperature5 down ta - 30 degrees F, and remains effective up ta 425 degrees F (at which point the ail campanent wiil carbonize) and the iaad capacity s in excess of 200,000 psi. Because Molysiip M.P.G. contains moiybdenum disuphide (MoS2) there is a micrascapic plating of MoS2 ta the races, bails or raliers and spacers that wiil prevent metai-to-metai cortact and eliminate corrosion. Smhali wheel bearings must carry about 90% of the total weight of yaur trailer. Ail road shocks and vibrations are. transtered through the wheeis ta the axies, via the bearings.
