Tip of the Week No. 286 - 06/28/10 - Equipment Maintenance
Do not oil or lubricate moving parts unless instructed to do so by the manufacturer. For some parts, such as rollers or bearings, which are subject to heavy use or dirt, such lubrication may be reasonable.
On the other hand, oil could interfere with descent-device brake efficiency, which is unacceptable.
