NOTE
- Used cartridges must be removed prior to suction filling.
1. Remove the gun head cap from the barrel.
2. Submerge open end of the barrel into grease bucket. Be sure the plunger
handle is depressed completely. Grasp the barrel firmly and pull back slowly on
the plunger handle. Be sure the mouth of the barrel is always under the surface
so that air is not transferred into the barrel. (Figure 6)
3. Loading is complete when plunger rod is fully
extended.
4. Reattach the gun head cap to the barrel. Depress
lock release and push the plunger rod back into the
gun.
NOTE
- Grease guns may lose their prime on
occasion, because of air pockets in the grease. If this
occurs, remove the trapped air by bleeding the head
cap and resume pumping
.
NOTE
- This is a basic instruction manual which covers various models of
grease guns. The illustrations below may not depict exactly your specific gun.
1. Rotating counter clockwise, unscrew Head Cap from gun Barrel. (Figure 1)
GREASE CARTRIDGE LOADING
NOTE
- Because they lack lubrication on the rubber plunger, new grease guns
may be difficult to load with grease cartridges the first time. Apply a liberal
coating of grease to plunger when using gun for the first time.
This grease gun
requires a 14 oz. grease cartridge.
2. Draw handle back fully so that the
plunger rod catches and locks into place.
(Figure 2)
CAUTION:
Depressing the lock release when
empty causes the handle to snap back quickly.
3. After removing the plastic cap from the grease cartridge, apply a small amount
of grease to the inside edge of the cartridge. This will make insertion of the
plunger easier. (Figure 3)
4. Push grease cartridge into gun barrel completely, until metal edge tightly seals
on top of the grease gun barrel. Detach flip-top seal from cartridge. (Figure 4)
5. Screw on head cap approximately two turns, being sure not to tighten.
Release plunger rod from its locked position and push in. Push on plunger
rod handle to force plunger into cartridge. At the same time, pump the lever or
handle to release trapped air. When grease comes through vents and the head
of the gun, fully tighten the head cap to the barrel.
6. As soon as the gun is pumping grease, carefully depress the lock release and
push plunger rod back into gun.
