Preventive Maintenance
PELLERIN MILNOR CORPORATION
• Operate the grease gun slowly (10 to 12 seconds for one cycle).
• Calibrate the grease gun before you count grease gun cycles to apply grease (see Section
2.1 ).
2.1.
Grease Gun Procedure
—This instruction gives grease quantities in cycles, fluid ounces,
and grams. A cycle is each time that you pull the trigger. One cycle = 0.0624 ounces (1.77
grams). Your grease gun can give more or less than this in one cycle. Adjust the number of
cycles if necessary. Calibrate your grease gun as follows:
1. Make sure that the grease gun operates correctly.
2. Operate the grease gun to put grease into a small container with ounce increments. Pull the
trigger fully and slowly.
3. Add a sufficient quantity of grease to measure accurately. Count the number of cycles of the
grease gun (the number of times that you pull the trigger).
4. Calculate the quantity for each cycle of the grease gun.
Example: 2 ounces / 64 cycles = 0.0313 ounces for each cycle
In this example, you must apply two times the number of cycles this instruction gives.
