REFILLING CONTAINERS
For easy refilling of containers, use the
Macnaught Model J2 grease pump. After
filling the container, bump the container
base several times on a solid surface to
consolidate the grease and help remove
any trapped air.
MAINTENANCE
Should the strainer require cleaning, undo
the nut at the base of the pump spring with a
suitable spanner, remove assembly, lever
off strainer cover and remove assembly as
illustrated. Clean all parts and check and
replace any damaged or worn components
before reassembly.

Caution
When replacing the hose assembly only use a genuine
Macnaught replacement hose, failure to do so may
result in pump damage.
KR PRESSURITE GUN FEATURES
Note: To select either high pressure or high volume, refer
to Fig 5.
Fig 5
Operation on the High Pressure Setting
Operation on the High Volume Setting
1) The switch is pushed foward and lifts ball ‘A’ off its
seat.
2) As the piston is pushed foward by the handle, the
grease in chamber 1 is pushed back past ball ‘A’ into
the supply hose.
3)The grease in chamber 2 (small volume) is
pressurised up to 69MPa (10,000 psi). This pressure
seats ball ‘B’ and lifts ball ‘C’, then forces grease
through to the equipment being greased.
1) The switch is withdrawn allowing ball ‘A’ to seat.
2) The piston is pushed foward by the handle. As ball A
is seated, grease cannot return back into the hose.
Therefore both volumes of grease in chambers 1 and
2 are combined (high volume) and pressurised for
delivery to the equipment requiring greasing.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When the KR gun has been serviced and the trouble is
found to have been caused by dirt in the valves, the pump
unit should also be cleaned out thoroughly to eliminate
the dirt at its source.
Dirt and foreign matter (lint, etc.) can seriously affect the
operation of this unit.
Dismantling and reassembly of this unit should only be
attempted in clean conditions.

COUPLER FROM A GREASE NIPPLE

3) During the operation balls ‘B’ and ‘C’ are forced off
their seats by both volumes of grease passing.
