follower by rotating the follower handle.
Exert force on the follower handle while
holding down the vent valve 23 (Figure 7).
2.
Pull the trigger in short bursts to operate
gun until trapped air is expelled. Disen-
gage the follower rod from the follower
by rotating the follower handle. Push the
follower rod into the grease tube assembly.
3.
If step 2 fails, unscrew the grease tube
assembly 1-1/2 turns from the pump as-
sembly.
4.

CHARGER OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Before using your PowerLuber for the first
time, the battery pack should be charged for
12 hours. If the battery pack is installed in the
PowerLuber, remove it by following instructions
under.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same
as that shown on the charger specification
plate, Connect charger to power source.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The
red (charging) light will blink continuously
indicating that the charging process has
started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated
by the red light remaining ON continuously.
The pack is fully charged and may be used
at this time.
4. The battery pack may be left on the trickle
charge until you are ready to use.
5. Disconnect charger from power source when
not in use.
120 volts present at charging terminals. Do
not probe with conductive objects. Danger
of electric shock or electrocution.

INDICATOR LIGHT OPERATION
CHARGE INDICATORS
The charger is designed to detect certain
problems that can arise with battery packs.
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing
at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery
pack into the charger. If the problem persists,
try a different battery pack to determine if the
charger is O.K. If the new pack charges cor-
rectly, then the original pack is defective and
should be returned to a service center or other
collection site for recycling. If the new battery
pack elicits the same trouble indication as the
original, have the charger tested at an autho-
rized service center.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE
CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left con-
nected with the red light glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh
and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge
when kept out of the charger. If the battery
pack has not been kept on maintenance
charge, it may need to be recharged before
use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its
charge if left in a charger that is not plugged
into an appropriate AC source.
As a battery pack approaches the discharged
state, you will notice a sharp drop in tool perfor-
mance. When the tool is unable to perform the
task at hand, it is time to recharge the battery
pack. Recharging the battery pack before this
condition is reached will reduce the total work
life of the pack. Discharging the pack beyond
this point can damage the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during
and shortly after use. Batteries may not accept
a full charge if they are charged immediately
after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before charging for best results.
CAUTION: Vent slots in top and bottom of
charger must not be obstructed. Do not charge
battery when temperature is BELOW 32°F (0°
C) or ABOVE 104°F (40° C).
