Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | There is PM needed if the Woods Power Grip suction cup on your EZ Guide plus is several years old or leaking.
That little pump has grease on the piston seal, and the grease gets dry and contaminated with dirt. After replacing the sun weathered rubber cup on my 3 year old mount, I found it still leaked nearly as bad.
I followed the instructions on the Woods site that tells how to test, clean , inspect and relube the pump.
Mine was really dirty with gritty cab dirt inside the pump, and the grease was gone with the seal and cylinder dry.
I cleaned the piston, cylinder and check valve, then reassembles with a coating of fresh silicone grease as indicated in the online instructions.
The cup appears to hold like new, no leak down :-)
The cup /pump was 3 years old and overdue for a cleaning/ re lube to keep dirt from scoring the pump. This is a job I will now do every two years. The pump is very simple to disassemble, just pulls apart.
