Fill Pump Reservoir
•
Fill the pump with grease through the grease zerk
using a grease gun (F
•
Do not overfill the reservoir. See fill level on the front of the pump reservoir. Grease will flow out of the reservoir
overflow located on the back of the pump if the reservoir is overfilled.

•
Use a waste container to capture excess grease from the grease hoses.
•
Identify when hoses are filled and air is purged from the hose.
NOTE:
