Setup
Charge Batteries Before First Use
CAUTION
Only charge the grease gun with the locking switch in

hours before initial use. (See Battery Charging, page
6).
Filling the Grease Gun
The grease gun can be filled two ways.
D
Using the grease gun loader valve for loading bulk

If only the loader valve is used to fill the grease gun,
it’s recommended that the rubber plunger inside the
grease gun barrel be turned around. This permits
trouble–free filling and greasing by ensuring that no
grease is pressed into the area behind the plunger.
See the procedure “Modifying the Grease Gun for use
with the Grease Gun Loader Valve” on page 4.
Note: The loader valve for bulk grease filling requires
the use of a filler adapter valve. See the Accessories
listing on page 9.
If prefilled tubes or a combination of tubes and bulk
filling are used for refilling the grease gun it is not
necessary to modify the grease gun. See page 5 for
loading the gun with prefilled tubes.
