Autoloader needs grease?

Hi!

I have a HP Autoloader C1557A.

The device has problems turning the table due to physical friction. I
narrowed the problem down to "resinated" grease on the table's teeth. I
cleaned it carefully, now it works a little better but obviously some kind
of grease is needed.

What grease do I use?

Thanks for your assistance.

Best Regards,
Martin

A petroleum-based lubricant is not the answer. In lieu of any other
possibilities, you can use a silicon-based spray lubricant, spraying it on a
dry, lint-free preferably cotton cloth, and rubbing on the gears. Silicon
lubricants behave well in normal operating temperatures, and do not drip or run
when applied properly... Ben Myers

Silicon Grease available from most bearing supplier (used for
example to lubricate the slide pins on some automotive brake
callipers).
