Awning lubrication?

When we open out Zip Dee awnings the screeching is worse than a cat fight, I cannot find any any mention of annual lubrication in the archives . Should I have been putting oil on the ends of the roller shafts?

Thank you both
Had some dry silicone lube and gave them all a spray, now they operate silently!
No more embarrassing moments in the campground.
