GENERAL CAUTIONARY NOTES
Do not allow bystanders, children or other
on-lookers in the work area as they can cause
distractions, which may lead to mistakes
and accidents.
Carefully inspect the equipment for damaged,
loose or missing parts. If the unit is worn or
damaged, do not use it and contact an authorized
service center for evaluation or repair.
The continuous shot action grease gun must be
primed after each refill or grease cartridge
change. You should also check the priming of
the gun before each use.
For best performance and to extend product
life, add a few drops of air tool oil through the
air fitting at the bottom of the handle if gun
begins to cycle slowly or erratically.
CAUTION!
Air pockets in the cartridge will cause the gun to
lose prime.
PRIMING THE CONTINUOUS SHOT GREASE GUN
With the gun loaded with grease and the gun
hooked to an air supply, activate the trigger until
grease flows from the hose or pipe. To relieve
air pockets, operate the air vent valve #31 while
depressing the trigger. If grease does not flow
after 10-15 seconds of operation, remove the
hose or pipe and activate the trigger until
grease flows from the hose/pipe outlet. Make
sure the bearing, fitting and lubrication line are
clear and free flowing before operating the gun.
If the bearing, fitting or lubrication line is
blocked, the gun can stall.
