MAINTENANCE
If the grease gun fails to work effectively, perform the
following checks:
• Check the air inlet is free of any dirt or blockages.
• Ensure the grease gun is lubricated properly.
• Check that the pressure on the air compressor is within its
||
working range. If not, let the compressor rest to
||
re-pressurise / refer to the compressor instruction manual.
• Check plunger has been released
• Check grease level in chamber
• Check for blockages or leaks
Note:
Operating Pressure range is 30 - 90psi (2 - 6.2Bar). Ensure your compressor is set no higher than 90psi (6.2Bar)
Note:
This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water seperator.
• If the enclosure of the gun requires cleaning, do not use
solvents but a moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside
the gun; never immerse any part of the gun into a liquid.
