How to Apply Grease to Slider of Reese Elite Series 18K Slider
Question:
I own this Reese Elite 18K slider hitch and need to grease slider. Instructions show several grease guide slots on rails but no direction as to how to use them to grease anything. Any videos or detailed instructions would be helpful. Thanks

I have attached some clips from the instructions for the Reese Elite Series 18K Slider # RP30144, the second of which is what I believe you are referring to.
The guide slots are used to show you where to apply the grease, like part # L11354, and then you simply move the hitch back and forth over the grease to apply the grease to the rollers, lock arm & spring, and lock cam. They point those parts out just so you can make sure you know what you're supposed to be applying grease to.
