DAVIS LUBE II - Manual

INSTRUCTIONS
#425
LUBE II™ steering rod sealer and lubricator allows sticky, hard
to move steering rods to be properly and easily lubricated for
smooth, easy steering action. The system includes a stainless
steel lubricating nut with an oil seal and a grease (zerk) fitting.
This lubricator’s unique design keeps moisture and contami-
nants out while enabling you to pour or pump several types of
lubricant in. Your choice: (1) Max-Lube™ (#422) synthetic
lubricant with high water separation qualities and anti-corrosion
protection. This is the best lubricant available for the purpose.
(2) A high grade 90w synthetic gear oil. (3) High quality white
lithium grease.
Lube II™ helps correct and prevent steering problems. For
both mechanical and hydraulic systems. 7/8" x 14 threads fit
Johnson / Evinrude and all Japanese outboard motors. Easy, 10
minute installation. Marine grade stainless steel for salt and
fresh water use.

Installing Lube II
1. Remove the steering arm linkage nut and discon-
nect arm. Extend the steering rod out of the tilt tube
as far as possible. Clean the steering rod.
2. With seal facing out, slide the Lube II™ Nut over
the steering rod and thread onto tilt tube. If fewer than
3 threads are exposed on tilt tube, threads may be
gained by loosening coupler nut and lock nut on other
side of tilt tube and then tightening lock nut on steer-
ing rod side. This method may be used to gain 1 or 2 threads. Snugly tighten Lube II; do not over tighten.
It is best if lubricating hole on side of nut is easily
accessible. Slide rod back and forth to be sure action
is smooth. If the stop pin (inside of nut) is touching
the rod, remove Lube II and tap the pin out slightly,
then reinstall Lube II.
