Star Reloaders / LUBRICATING A STAR UNIVERSAL PRESS
« on: January 22, 2004, 04:17:28 pm »
Hello,
I have operated a gently used Star Universal Press for a year now. I can find no reference to lubricatiing the Star Universal Press.
To lubricate, I use 30W non-detergent oil on the two oil wells on the upper cross arm and on the link arm pivots. I finger wipe oil on the main shaft the tool head assembly rides on, put a drop of oil on the shell plate where it rotates on the column, and lightly oil the primer lever pivot. I also use a dab of grease where the primer lever contacts the trip arm on the upper assembly. All other moving parts that are above the base are dusted with graphite powder. I have not lubricated anything under the unit.
Does this seem adequate and follow manufacturers recommendations?
Regards,
