Priming the Loaded Gun
Overview
Priming is the act of removing air and introducing
grease into the gun’s pumping mechanism.
Whether a gun primes is dependent on the:
• viscosity of the grease
• temperature of the grease
• condition of the gun
Operate the Gun
IMPORTANT: Make sure the gun is in the
volume position. See Figure 7.
In most cases the gun will prime simply by operating
the Lever several times.
Should grease fail to appear, the Head Assembly must
be bled.
* Locate the second groove on model 1056-LE4.
