EZ Greaser Installation Instructions
The EZ Greaser® lubrication system is designed to lubricate 8, 14, or 16 points from a single fitting—all at the same time from one convenient location. The EZ Greaser ensures that you are getting the proper amount of lubricant to each fitting – every time. Each kit comes complete with the items necessary for installation so you can get back on the road quickly and stay on the road.
NOTE: Do not plug any outlets on the EZ Greaser block. The block will not operate correctly.
INSTALLATION
Verify the number of lubrication points and locations and 1. inspect to ensure lube points will accommodate use of the included threaded fittings. Optional press-in fittings are available from your EZ Greaser Distributor. See vehicle layout on page 3.
Install mounting plate either by welding or bolting to a spot 2. that allows easy access to the grease fitting on the top of the block and within ten (10) feet of the furthest lube point. Mount block to the mounting plate
Using the included diagrams, route the tubing lines to 5. the appropriate points following the color scheme on the diagrams. Bundle tubes together when routing tubes from the block to the lube points. Use wire ties every 6-8 inches and anchor to the frame and steering components making sure the tubes move with these objects. This will assure that the tubes stay in place under normal operating conditions.
IMPORTANT: Allow ample slack for tube movement and ease of installation. A self-aligned captured ferrule is supplied with all 3/16" fittings. It is not necessary to remove the nut and ferrule to seat the tube into the fitting. Care should be taken to make sure the tube is well seated into each fitting before tightening.
Attach the Orange tube from the Tri-tube bundle to the Upper 6. King Pin grease fitting. Attach the Blue tube to the Lower King Pin grease fitting. Attach Black tube to Tie Rod grease fitting. This fitting should be pointing towards the rear of the vehicle and on a 45° angle toward the inside centerline of the vehicle. Repeat for other side of the vehicle. Do not attach grease tubes to hydraulic brake lines.
Attach single Black tubes to front and rear Drag Link grease 7. fittings. Allow for movement of the arm. Be sure to secure the line to the steering arm so that line moves when steering the vehicle but does not rub or slide against frame, shock absorber or steering components. Tubes and steering components should move as one (1) unit.
Remove all the existing grease fittings from the points to 3. be attached to the EZ Greaser and replace with fittings according to the diagrams for the specific kit.
Prepare tubing:4.
Cut the outside sheath on multi-tube bundles back to a. the point where this bundle meets the first lube point. Be careful not to puncture or cut the tubes. Use a “Romex” stripper to help prevent this damage.
Peel back the outside sheath rolling it back on itself b. and cut off the excess. Be careful not to nick or cut the remaining tubes.
Align tubing with fitting and make a clean square cut c. with an anvil style cutter.
Attach other tubes to spring pins and spring hangers as 8. required.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the dust cover protective cap from the grease fitting on the divider module. Ensure the fitting is free from dirt and contamination and connect a grease gun or low volume power grease gun to the grease fitting. Pump a manual gun one time for each lube point in the system: 8 strokes for 8-point system, 14 strokes for the 14-point system, and 16 strokes for a 16-point system. Wipe off the end of the fitting and put the protective cap back onto the fitting. Repeat every 2-3 weeks or more often when operating the vehicle in wet or high dust environments to flush out contaminants with fresh grease.
