Question:
We bought the autoslide from you last year. We arent sure of the best type of grease to use for regular maintenance and which components need to be greased. The manual is light on detail.

Expert Reply:
For your Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034, the maintenance is fairly easy compared to the function of the slider. You will wan to remove the two side gear covers and inspect the gear system for any wear or issues. Then you may apply light grease on the gear area.
On the jaw handle, apply light coat of grease between the arrows.
Inspect lower guide plates and roller. Apply lithium grease to the side guide plates. Remove 1/2 inch bolt and washer from roller. Grease Inner diameter of roller and reinstall with blue threadlocker # LT37643 and torque to spec on page 6 of your manual.
For your grease, I recommend the UltraLube LMX # L11390 or # L10300
