Inserting a new grease cartridge:
Remove the sealing cap from the full cartridge, and guide this into the grease gun cylinder.
Only then tear off the cartridge‘s “pull-off” closure and screw on the grease gun head.
Pull on the push rod, actuate the safety catch, and push the push rod back into the cylinder.
Bleed the grease gun (see instructions on releasing trapped air in section 3.2).
Tip
When fitting accessories, ensure cleanliness and that the accessory makes a perfect connection
to the grease gun.
Use suitable sealants and adhesives (e.g. Teflon tape).
3.1.2 Filling using a grease gun filling unit
To fill the grease gun with a grease gun filling unit, the following modifications must be made:
Remove the collar, bend over the rubber with your thumb and forefinger and install the collar again.
■
■
Remove the plug at the head of the grease gun.
■
■
Mount filling valve (12670).
■
■
Place the grease gun onto the filling valve of the grease gun filling unit, and hold it in place with light
counter pressure.
Fill the grease gun by activating the filling unit. Filling may cause the push rod to be pushed out of the
grease gun cylinder.
Pull on the push rod, actuate the safety catch, and push the push rod back into the cylinder.
3.2 Preparation for use
Check that the grease gun head and cylinder are tightly screwed together.
To release trapped air, press the bleed valve while moving the push rod forward.
Keep pressing the bleed valve and then press the On switch several times until the trapped air escapes.
The grease gun is now ready for use.
3.3 Charging the battery
If the battery is in the unit, it can be removed by pressing together the two plastic buttons on the bottom
of the battery.
If the battery is almost empty, the performance of the grease gun will be reduced. It is time to recharge the
battery. Recharging the battery too soon will shorten the life of the battery!
Start the charging process by inserting the battery into the charger; it will lock into place.
When the battery is charged (1-2 hours) disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the
battery.
Tip
For charging: To start the charging process you have to press the “Set” button.
(A green lamp lights up.)
The battery cannot be fully charged right after use, since the temperature of the battery rises
during use of the grease gun. Before starting the charging process, let the battery cool to room
temperature.
