Care and feeding of my BKO (for Fax and Squidly)

[[AK]Faxman]

Don't worry. Beast, you aren't missing much in the box. I had a replacement macroline, a replacement air fitting, an allen key, and an instruction manual. Let me know if you want a copy of the manual, and I'll scan it sometime this weekend.
For lube, use generic white lithium grease, available at auto parts stores, and Home Depot. Dow also makes a slightly more expensive lubricant with similar ingredients (I think it's called Dow 33). You can get a large tube of the generic stuff for less than three dollars. Conversely, Smart Parts offers a much smaller tube of a similar nature for $7.00 + Shipping.
If you get a PDF of the BKO breakdown it will show you what fittings to grease. The manual recommends greasing the fittings once every 5000 shots (if I remember correctly).

The manual, I've got. It's the allen key I want. I checked my standard-sized set last night, and wouldn't you know, the ONE that I'm missing (out of easily a dozen) is the size that comes in the box.

Greasing instructions is good to know. Looks like it needs a greasing every other game. I think I'll buy the big tube of pocket fox...I mean lithium grease. It doesn't dry up or otherwise spoil over time, right?

Ok, I got your box, manual, and a small bag of parts (the stuff that's supposed to come with it.) I don't know what's in the bag, because other than glancing I haven't looked.

BTW - if you guys are interested, On-Target is holding a "Big Game" on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Awesome--thanks, Squidly. I probably won't be around to play on Friday, but hopefully Fax and I will get some Reading play in on that Saturday.

The bag does include an allen wrench...
