3. Fill until the rod is pushed out of the grease tube
approximately 20 cm. Do not overfill. If the rod
fails to move during the filling process, stop.
This indicates that the rod is not connected to
the plunger and step one must be repeated
before proceeding.
4. Rotate rod to release and carefully push rod
back into the grease tube.
5. Use the purge valve (x) to bleed off any air
that may be trapped in the cartridge. Refer to
Purging Air Pockets.
Purging Air Pockets (fi g. 1, 5)
IMPORTANT: Air pockets in the grease can cause
the grease gun to lose prime. Eliminate air pockets
after each refill or if the grease gun fails to pump
grease:
1. Unscrew the purge valve (x) without removing it,
until all air has escaped.
2. Tighten the purge valve (x).
3. Uncap the flexible hose (g) then depress
the variable speed trigger switch (a) for
10–20 seconds.
4. If grease fails to flow through the hose, repeat
from step 1.
NOTE: This tool has been tested at the factory,
which may result in a small amount of grease
left in the grease tube and hose assembly. It is
recommended to purge the tool with the brand of
grease to be used before first use.

Proper hand position requires one hand on the
flexible hose safety spring guard (h) with the other
hand on the handle (c) as shown.
Using the Grease Gun (fi g. 1)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, always
maintain a grip on the handle (c)
when operating the grease gun or
positioning the hose onto fittings.
To operate the grease gun, hold the grease gun
by the handle (c), or place it on a stable surface
upright on its rubber feet (r) maintaining a grip on the
handle. Holding the hose by the flexible hose safety
spring guard (h), connect the flexible hose grease
coupler (i) or other appropriate grease coupler, onto
the grease fitting to be filled. Carefully depress the
variable speed trigger switch to begin the filling
process. Once the correct amount of grease has
been dispensed, release the trigger and remove the
coupler from the grease fitting. If the coupler does
not release, there may still be residual pressure in the
line. Moving the coupler from side to side can relieve
the residual pressure so it can be removed from the
coupling. If the coupler leaks excessively or does not
hold on to the grease fitting, it should be replaced.
