cleaning and lubrication

#1 · February 24, 2014, 10:34 pm

I just purchased a used Square Deal B from a friend who is upgrading. I can't wait to get started loading my own shells. My question is what to clean it with and where does it need lubrication. I just ordered a maintenance kit today that looks like it has the lubes included. Thanks.

What is correct lube practice for Square Deal and 550? what kinda of lube on SD? I use grease and gun oil on 550B is that good?

Thanks

@Dillon,

Would you send me the same document? I was using my SDB and with every cycle of the handle it got tougher and tougher to use. After taking it almost down to parts, I found the Crank Pin was not turning freely. What should I use to lube it, where, and how?

Thanks

On the Square Deal machines, use only grease.

On the RL550 series, use grease everywhere except on the main ram; there use 30 wt motor oil.

For specific specs, please email us and we can forward the lubrication drafts to you
