OPERATION
GREASE CARTRIDGE LOADING:
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. (Fig. 1)
Fig. 1
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. (Fig. 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. (Fig. 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. (Fig. 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.
