Operation
WARNING
The maximum delivery pressure of the lubricator
gun, when charged and disconnected from the
dispenser, is 10,000 psi (700 bar). Fluid emitted
under such high pressure can cause serious injury.
See the warnings on page 3.
NOTE: Numbers and letters in parenthesis refer to
callouts in the Figures and Parts Drawing.
Filling the Gun (See Fig. 1)
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, use only hand–powered
pumps to fill this gun with lubricant.
1.
Connect a hose from the hand-powered lubricant
supply pump to the grease fitting (2).
2.
Without squeezing the handle (12), pump the
supply pump handle until lubricant flows through
the adapter (A).
3.
Disconnect the supply hose by twisting the coupler
to one side.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the coupler,
do not pull it straight
off. Make sure that you twist the coupler while re-
moving it.
Operating the Gun
1.
Wipe clean the coupler (A) and the grease fitting
on the part you are lubricating.
2.
Connect the coupler and fitting.
3.
Continuous delivery:
Keep the supply pump hose connected to the gun.
Squeeze the gun handle and continue pumping the
supply pump handle to provide a constant flow of
fluid.
High pressure delivery, or remote dispensing:
Be sure the supply hose is disconnected. Squeeze
and release the gun handle one or more times until
the part is well lubricated.
WARNING
Never force lubricant into a fitting. If the lubricant is
not flowing, or the coupler clogs,
STOP
DISPENSING IMMEDIA
TELY. Forcing lubricant
may cause excessive back pressure, which could
cause component rupture and serious injury.
Replace damaged grease fittings.
NOTE: Most “frozen” fittings are caused by dirt, rust,
scale, poor lubrication, or neglect. Replace damaged
fittings before continuing.
