Lubrication Requirements
Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Do not use silicone-based lubricants. Equipment damage could occur.
Hill-Rom uses maintenance-free DU bushings at major load and pivot points
throughout the bed. These bushings are designed to run dry without
lubrication. If the bushing squeaks during operation, apply anti-seize
compound to its bearing surface.
Visually inspect the bushings annually. If wear is apparent, replace
them. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
The following lubricants can be safely used on the DU bushings:
• P/N SA4269 anti-seize lube (aerosol can)
• P/N 37929 anti-seize lube (brush top lid)
Oilite® bearings and bushings are utilized in several places on the system. By
retaining oil, the pores give a self-lubricating quality to the bearings and
bushings. If any silicone-based lubricant is applied to the bearings and
bushings or anywhere else on the system, this self-lubricating quality is
neutralized.
It is safe to apply the following lubricants to the system (see table 6-1 on page
6-5):
