6.9 Lubricating the Cot
Disinfect and clean the cot before applying lubricant. Use the lubricants
designated below to lubricate the cot. Do not lubricate points marked
with the "do not lubricate" symbol.
Use a small amount of lubricant (one or two drops). Lubricate identical
points on each side of the cot (Figure 43). After applying lubricant, wipe
off excess.

2.
Slider Rail (both sides, both ends)
Safety Bar Pivot: Apply lubricant as needed to the slot on both sides of
the red handle. Wipe off excess.
Slider Rails: If the sliding rails squeak during use, clean the rails. If this
does not solve the problem, clean and then apply a light coating of PTFE
dry-film spray lubricant to the rails. PTFE is the generic name of products
similar to Teflon® (a registered trademark of the DuPont Company, E. I.
du Pont de Nemours and Company or its affiliates.)
