LUBRICATION
The Safety Arm System has been designed to operate without the need for lubrication. Due to an anodization of the
metallic parts, using a silicone-base lubricant can be used but it is not necessary. If you’re not sure about the product
to use, please contact technical support or customer service.
CAUTION

Failure to use authorized parts, lubricants, etc. could cause damage to the cot/stretcher and will void the warranty
of the product.
