OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Always wear safety glasses when using a grease
control valve. Keep work area clean and remove
any excess grease from tools, hands, and clothing
after use.
CAUTION: Excess grease, if left on floors, tools,
or equipment, can create surfaces that become
slippery.
FUNCTION
The grease control valve provides control of high
pressure lubricants. The valve is designed for use
with air operated grease pumps. When the air mo-
tor (not included) of the grease pump is supplied
with compressed air, the pump starts operating
when the handle of the control valve is squeezed.
The pump will stop when the control handle is
released. The control valve provides continuous
grease flow when the handle is fully squeezed.
The control valve can be used up-to a maximum
inlet grease pressure of 6000 PSI (413 BAR)and has
a pressure “boost” ability to increase outlet grea-
se pressure to up to 10,000 PSI (689 BAR). Pressure
boost is achieved through repeated actuation of
the control valve handle & very useful to open fro-
zen/clogged grease fittings.
CAUTION: Do not exceed maximum working
pressure of the lowest rated component. The con-
trol valve has a 6000 PSI (413 BAR) maximum inlet
grease pressure.
INSTALLATION:
1.
Connect the extension tube and cou-
pler onto the valve outlet. The connection bet-
ween the extension tube and the valve outlet
must be tight. Use thread sealant to ensure a leak-
proof joint.
2.
Now connect the grease outlet hose
from the air operated grease pump to the in-
let end of the grease control valve. Make sure
that the hose from the grease pump has mating
threads or else use an adaptor to match the two
threads. Use thread sealant to ensure a leak-proof
joint.
NOTE: This valve has a 360° Z swivel between the
grease hose & the inlet of the grease control val-
ve. It helps with maneuvering the grease control
valve, without causing the hose to bend or kink.
Make sure that all threaded connections are tight
& sealed using a thread sealant.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all in-
structions. Failure to follow all indications list-
ed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
DESCRIPTION
Designed for every-day lubrication of equipment
and machines that are equipped with grease fit-
tings. Unlike other grease control valves which
dispense grease at the same outlet pressure as the
inlet, this one has a pressure boost mechanism.
By simply pressing the trigger, inlet pressure can
be boosted, which is great for unblocking frozen/
clogged fittings. The valve is designed to boost
pressures up to 10 000 PSI (689 BAR) for
23615
& 8
000 PSI (XX BAR) for
23616
with an inlet pressure
of 6,000 PSI (413 BAR).
