GARAGE
Lift garage door slowly and spray each hinge where it meets the bend in the track. This will lubricate the door's moving parts and make opening and closing much smoother. On each hinge apply one or two sprays. 5. Open door & spray Gear Hugger on each of the hinges.
Rollers are the circular moving pieces attached to each of your hinges. Spray lubricant inside the rollers with the thin hose attachment (do not spray nylon rollers). Rollers contain small ball bearings that must be lubricated for the door to open and close smoothly. Lubricate any exposed ball bearings thoroughly and wipe away any excess lubricant. 6. Lubricate the rollers.
The springs can usually be found at top of garage door. Bearing plates are moving circular parts on both sides springs. Spray down outside and near center then open close your door to spread grease around. 7. Spray the outside of your springs & bearing plates.
Lubricating the lock will make it easier to lock your garage door and prevent rust. Spray the lubricant into the lock's keyhole. Finish by spraying the lubricant on the large armbar at the top of your garage door. 8. Spray the armbar & lock.
The chain has a natural protectant on it that eliminates the need for regular lubrication. The rail is the portion of your chain that runs along the ceiling of your garage. Because the top portion of the rail is where your chain rides, it is the part that needs to be lubricated. Spray the top of the rail, then spread it around with a rag. Then you’re done! 9. Lubricate the top of the rail.
