1. Introduction
Liquid Rescue, formerly known as Liquid Bearings, is a 100% synthetic lubricant engineered to provide superior performance for all types of printers and copiers. Unlike conventional petroleum-based oils, Liquid Rescue does not evaporate or become gummy over time, preventing the formation of sticky residues that can hinder device operation. Its unique molecular structure ensures consistent lubrication, keeping your equipment running smoothly and quietly.
This synthetic lubricant is designed to displace old petro-oils, prevent rust, and is safe for use on all plastics, finishes, and painted surfaces. It is essentially odorless, making it pleasant to use in any environment.
2. Setup and Package Contents
Before using Liquid Rescue, please ensure all package contents are present and undamaged.
2.1 Package Contents
- One (1) 1 oz bottle of Liquid Rescue 100% Synthetic Oil.
- Three (3) stainless steel needle tips: 1/2 inch, 1-1/2 inch, and 3 inch, each with a silicone tip scabbard.
2.2 Initial Preparation
No special preparation or pre-cleaning is required. Liquid Rescue is fully compatible with all vintage and current oils. It will gradually flush away residues from evaporated petroleum-based oils over time.

3. Operating Instructions
Liquid Rescue is designed for easy and effective application to lubricate moving parts in printers and copiers.
3.1 Application Steps
- Select Needle Tip: Choose the appropriate stainless steel needle tip (1/2", 1-1/2", or 3") based on the accessibility of the area to be lubricated. Attach it securely to the bottle.
- Identify Lubrication Points: Consult your printer or copier's specific service manual to identify recommended lubrication points. Common areas include moving gears, sliding rails, shafts, and bearings.
- Apply Lubricant: Apply a small drop of Liquid Rescue directly to the moving parts. A little goes a long way. Avoid over-application.
- Operate Device: Briefly operate the printer or copier to allow the lubricant to spread evenly across the moving surfaces.
- Wipe Excess: If any excess oil is visible, gently wipe it away with a clean, lint-free cloth.
You will immediately notice smoother and quieter operation of the machinery, especially if petroleum-based oils were previously used.
4. Maintenance
Regular lubrication with Liquid Rescue helps maintain the longevity and performance of your printers and copiers.
- Frequency: The frequency of application depends on the usage intensity of your equipment. For heavily used devices, consider applying every 3-6 months. For lighter use, annual application may suffice. Always refer to your equipment's manufacturer recommendations.
- Benefits: Consistent use prevents wear and tear, reduces friction, eliminates squeaks, and protects against rust formation on metal surfaces.
- Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the needle tips are covered with their silicone scabbards when not in use to prevent contamination and accidental spills.
5. Troubleshooting
Liquid Rescue is formulated for broad compatibility and effectiveness. However, if you encounter any issues, consider the following:
- Device Still Gummy: If the device remains sticky after initial application, it may be due to significant build-up from old petroleum oils. Liquid Rescue will gradually flush these residues. Continue regular application, and the condition should improve over time.
- No Improvement in Noise/Smoothness: Ensure the lubricant is applied to the correct moving parts. Some mechanical issues may require professional repair beyond lubrication.
- Compatibility Concerns: Liquid Rescue is compatible with all vintage and current oils and safe for most materials. If you observe any adverse reactions (highly unlikely), discontinue use and contact support.
