Lumax
Lubrication products are precision engineered tools, which are capable of creating pressures well above 10,000 PSI (690 BAR). Only professional use assures danger-free operation of these
products.
Warning:
Extreme pressure may cause nozzle extension or Grease Hose to burst. Always follow Grease Hose instructions and warnings. Keep hands clear of the extension during
operation of the Grease Gun.
Be extra careful while working with Needle point Grease Adapters and Dispensers. Keep your hands away from the Needle point at all times and when injecting Grease.
Maintain your equipment periodically and check before each use that all connections are securely fastened. High Working Pressures may result in liquid being injected into flesh upon malfunction of one of the
components. Only use components that show no indications of damage.
While working on the Grease Gun barrel, make certain that the open, threaded barrel-end always points away from yourself or others!
Never
touch a hose that is under pressure. Never point the outlet at yourself or others. Hoses are subject to rapid aging. Never use a hose that is older than 2 years. Hoses must never be bent or twisted with force. The
smallest bending radius for hose is 4” (100 mm). Seek immediate medical care after an injury.
GREASE FILLING - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Grease Gun can use a Lubricant Cartridge or be filled with Grease from Bulk Container or with a Filler Pump. Refer to Grease Filling Instructions, below.
Wipe grease fittings clean before lubricating. Remove any old grease and/or dirt that might get into the equipment to be Lubricated. Push coupler onto grease fitting at a slight angle (the coupler attaches easier at a
slight angle than when centered). Center coupler on the grease fitting. Operate lever handle to lubricate, taking care not to damage seals by excessive pressure or lubricant volume. After lubricating, turn the coupler
at a slight angle to release the grip of coupler jaws from the grease fitting.
