Step 12
Important
By turning the stem of the Grease Gun (23) at a rate of 4 to 6 turns per minute, the lubricant is
forced through the Slide Valve Seat (18) channels at a rate that allows the lubricant to travel
freely, yet not separate the valve strip from the valve seat. This method will keep fresh grease in
the lubrication passages.
Although the fluid pressure contained in the Top (14) is reduced to ambient conditions in the
following operations, remnants of the fluid still remain in that chamber. The operator must
employ a system to address the remaining fluid based upon the fluids’ chemical composition
and toxicity.
