Priming
Overview
Priming a grease gun depends on:
– viscosity of grease
– temperature of grease
– condition of gun.
NOTE
Do not try to prime with switch (4) in
pressure (P) position. Prime only in
volume (V) position.
Prime
1 Place selector valve (4) in volume (V)
position.
2 Operate lever (2) several times until
grease is being pumped from coupler (9).
NOTE
If grease is not being pumped from
coupler (7) after operating lever (2)
several times, remove trapped air.
3 Turn valve (7) counter-clockwise to open.
4 Operate lever (2) several times.
NOTE
Grease will appear under valve (7) when
air is removed.
