7.1 Filling the grease gun
There are various possibilities to fill the grease gun:
– Filling with grease cartridge according to DIN 1284.
– Filling with grease gun filling device by filling nipple.
– Filling with bulk grease from a large container.
7.1.1. Filling with grease cartridge according to DIN 1284
Removing an empty cartridge:
CAUTION
Injuries due to overpressure
■ ■
Do not open the grease gun under pressure!
■ ■
Before disconnecting the grease gun head and tube, the push rod must be
pulled back and locked automatically by the locking pawl.
■ ■
Unscrew the grease gun tube from the device.
■ ■
Slowly loosen the handle, pull the grease cartridge up and out of the device.
Installing a new grease cartridge:
■ ■
Remove the plastic cap from the full grease cartridge and insert it into the grease gun tube.
■ ■
Only then tear off the „pull-off“ closure of the cartridge and screw up the grease gun head.
■ ■
While pulling on the push rod, activate the locking pawl and slide the push rod back into the tube.
■ ■
Use the venting valve to bleed off any air that may be trapped in the cartridge
(see
a chapter 7.1.4.).
NOTE
■ ■
Ensure cleanliness during installation and that the accessories are correctly
connected with the grease gun head.
■ ■
Use appropriate sealants and adhesives (e. g. Teflon tape).

■ ■
Unscrew the grease gun tube from the grease gun.
■ ■
Plunge the open end of the grease gun tube into the grease container.
■ ■
Hold the grease gun tube and slowly pull the piston back by means of the grip.
Ensure that the open end of the grease gun tube is always completely immersed in the grease in order
to avoid the intake of air.
■ ■
Stop filling when the piston is completely pulled out.
■ ■
Screw the grease gun tube down again to the head of the grease gun.
■ ■
While pulling on the push rod, activate the locking pawl and slide the push rod back into the tube.
