[SEL] Sattley manual

[Curt]

Dunno Luke? As a lubricant kero is actually pretty decent. Much better 
than gasoline. In fact I lube my EK and PR mags with kero instead of 
oil. Keeps them working in cold weather.
Take my 6 HP Herc (kero) sawrig for example. Per Sattley's instructions 
I should be dripping 30 drips per minute when working it. I'd never get 
any wood sawed for all the time I'd be spending filling the #4 oiler!
