I don't see any instructions or suggestion on lubing the lift ? I have the Direct-Life PP9 Plus.

To lubricate the Direct-Lift PP9 Plus, use penetrating oil and wipe down the components. It is important to keep the lift free of corrosive agents and solvents, as failure to do so can reduce the service life of components, cause cable failure, and potentially lead to property damage or personal injury.
