MAINTENANCE
The Macnaught K7/KR Mini-Lube is a completely
portable high pressure manual greasing system,
supplied with spring loaded pump, lid, rubber-edged
follower plate, 1.5 metres of special Macnaught grease
hose, and unique KR Pressurite (High pressure / High
Volume) grease gun.
Please read and retain this instruction manual to
assist you in the operation and maintenance of this
quality product.
1)Remove the follower plate from the pump tube .
4) To prime, push the rod cap down several times with
your foot. When the hose is full of grease, the rod cap will
stay down.
5) Squeeze the KR gun handle and hold closed to bleed
air out of the system. When fully bled, container grease will
emerge from the gun end.
Note: Grease must travel through the entire length of the
hose. It may be necessary to repeat step 4 to fully bleed
the system.
When greasing, the rod cap will rise slowly. When the rod
is fully up and the gun loses pressure, push the rod cap
down once or twice to re-prime the pump and continue
greasing.
Each pump prime will provide sufficient grease for up to 30
shots of grease.
The gun is normally operated on the HI-VOLUME switch
position. Should high pressure be required, simply push
the switch on the gun to the HI-PRESSURE position.
Note: To remove air bubbles bump the container base
several times on a solid surface.
REFILLING CONTAINERS
For easy refilling of containers, use the Macnaught Model
J3 grease pump
.
Should the strainer require cleaning, undo the nut at the
base of the pump spring with a suitable spanner, remove
assembly, lever off strainer cover and remove strainer as
illustrated. Clean all parts, replace any damaged or worn
components before reassembly.
If replacing hose assembly only use a genuine
Macnaught hose, failure to do so may damage the
pump.
