To add hydraulic oil to an old Belmont barber chair, locate the nut on the base of the chair down by the foot area. Remove the nut and add the oil by using a small funnel. A Belmont barber chair must not be laid on its side for transporting because the oil will leak out.
Hydraulic oil.
For safety sake always warn people that the jack is not on-go outside and yell "JACK OFF" at least three times at the top of your lungs-
How do you put oil in my Ritter motor chair
It is an oil painting.
Use hydraulic jack oil, available pretty much anywhere - I used Johnson's, 1qt bottles are $7.99 at my local O'Reilly. To fill, or replace, the fluid you'll first remove the seat cushion. It should just lift off. Under that there will be a hole in the center of the base, it may or may not be covered by a plastic cap or a screw on older models. Remove the cap to access the fluid reservoir. I would suggest removing as much existing fluid as you can before adding more, to avoid overfilling the pump. You can find a suction gun at harbor freight for about $15 which you can use to remove as much of the fluid in the chair as possible, without having to disassemble the pump mechanism. Place your control lever in the full down position, this will allow clear access to feed in the suction tube, as well as assure the chair is fully "down" and thus the reservoir as full as possible. Once empty, refill with hydraulic jack oil. Add one quart to start, and pump the chair up. If it gurgles while raising and before topping out, or when lowering, lower and add another 2-4oz and repeat the process until it makes no liquid noises when being raised, and doesn't gurgle or gush when being lowered. If you add too much fluid, the seals may be damaged and/or the chair will be very difficult to lower after being raised. Also do not EVER use any oil/fluid which mentions "stop leak".
If the chair is made out of metal - ioron ore If the char is made out of wood - trees If the chair is made out of plastic - oil If the chair is made out of leather - animals
Oil
A saddle chair is typically made from a heavy weight leather hence the name saddle chair. The finish is also typically oil rubbed which is also similar to a real saddle.
The cloth or doily on the headrest of a chair is called an antimacassar. It was originally placed there to protect the chair's upholstery from Macasser hair grooming oil (anti-macasser). It became a display place for fancy crochet work.
The antimacassar got dirty from my hair oil but it protected the fabric of the chair.
It depends on the chair. Wood chairs are grass, plastic ones would be ground (Oil comes from the ground), and metal ones would be steel.
