OPERATION CONT.
SUCTION FILLING:
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 5)
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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem:
Coupler won't fit or stay on the
grease fitting .............................
When gun is operated grease
escapes from around the fitting
and/or coupler...........................
Grease gun pumps little or no
grease.......................................
Possible cause:
Grease couplers jaws are
threaded closed.
Either fitting is plugged with
solidified grease, or couplers
not tight enough on fitting.
NOTE: Twist coupler head to
open and close the jaws, to
fit different sizes of fittings.
Air is trapped in head of the
grease gun.
Blocked hose.
Grease too thick or cold.
Fig. 5
Solution:
The coupler has adjustable jaws.
Twist nose of coupler, this will
open and close the 4 internal jaws.
Coupler is adjustable, a slight turn
of the nose opens the jaws. Turn
the nose the opposite direction to
firm up the connection. Positive
pressure will ensure grease enters
grease fitting, and coupler won't
detach. Done correctly this can
clear out any solidified grease
without needing to clean fitting.
Unscrew the barrel of the grease
gun two turns. Move Plunger rod
back & forth in and out to force out
any trapped air. Expel air by
pressing the air purge valve or
pumping the handle.
Remove the hose and operate the
grease gun. If the gun dispenses
grease then the gun is fine and
you need to either clean the
extension or replace it.
Store grease gun and grease
away from extreme cold, best if
stored at room temp.
