7.6 Lubricating the Cot

Disinfect and clean the chair before applying lubricant.
There are two identical lubrication points, located on
opposite sides of the chair at the main hinge (see Figure
37).
Apply one or two drops of a light lubricant such as
EZ-1 or SAE 30-weight oil inside the opening, then
work the chair through alternating chair and cot
positions a few times to distribute the lubricant.
Wipe away excess lubricant.
Do not lubricate any other parts of the cot. Doing so
can cause dirt and foreign particles to collect on those
parts and cause poor performance.
Important
Lubricating parts that should not be lubricated
allows dirt and foreign particles to collect on
those parts, resulting in damage. Lubricate only
the points shown.
