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 AIR
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 #7
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.
