thoroughly recommends reading these instructions before using the pump,
even if you have used one before. Reading these instructions carefully and understanding
them fully will enable you to assemble and use the pump in the correct manner.
SAFETY GUIDELINES

Be careful not to spill any grease on the floor as this can cause a serious
health and safety problem.
Always clean up any spills immediately using the correct methods laid down in
the safety data sheet for the grease being dispensed.

greases up to No.2 consistency ie. recommended for use with light and self collapsing greases.
