Possible Solution
Grease not pumping
through nozzle.
1. Blockage in nozzle.
2. Air pocket in grease drum.
3. Drum empty.
1. Disassemble and clean out nozzle assembly.
2. Remove lid assembly, then slowly re-insert; keep
follower plate seated against side of drum body.
3. Fill drum with grease.

1. Tighten hose on outlet.
Grease
flowing
slowly from nozzle.
1. Grease is too heavy (thick).
2. Hose is kinked.
3. Grease drum not pressurized.
1. Add 8–10 oz. of SAE 40 or similar oil to grease in
drum.
2. Unkink hose.
3. Pump hand lever to repressurize system; or remove

seated against side of drum body.
Note: When valve handle is parallel with
grease nozzle, valve is open; when handle

surize system. This will vary according to how
full the grease drum is.

then turn valve handle to open position (see
Figure 6) to inject grease.
5. Once desired amount of grease has been
injected into fitting, turn valve handle to
