Even following the manufacturer recommended procedure you can/will contaminate the brakes when the cheap factory seals bypass filling the drums with grease, greasing brake shoes it not recommended.
If it's a new trailer, or new to you, I'd recommend doing it the 1st chance you have just for piece of mind.

^^^ Totally agree with this, which is why I stated, "until you (or a competent mechanic) disassembles and checks the components"
The EZ Lube system is a "gimmick to sell axles" and is no substitute for inspecting the components INSIDE the axle that can't be seen or maintained properly with the EZ Lube technique.....
