Spray silicone lubriant (Move Boots to Lubricate)

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the

pivot points which have special nylon bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that will shorten the life of

the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
