PACKAGE CONTENTS

PREPARATION

Before assembling this tool, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package contents

list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the tool.

Estimated Assembly Time: 3 - 5 minutes

Tools and Materials Required for Assembly (not included):

Adjustable wrench (optional)

Grease (bulk or cartridge)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Screw the extension (E) with coupler

(F) securely onto the head (B) by aligning

threads and turning clockwise. If necessary,

tighten with adjustable wrench but do not

overtighten (See Figure A).

2. Before installing flex hose (I) remove bulk filler valve (H)

from top of gun. Screw bulk filler valve(H) into inlet port

where the extension tube was attached. Screw felx hose (I)

into top inlet port where the bulk filer valve was.

GREASE LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

METHOD 2: GREASE TUB LOADING

With close-fitting plastic washer covering grease in tub.

1. Unscrew the barrel (A) from the head (B) by turning counterclockwise (See Figure 1).

2. Place the tub of grease where you can use the grease gun barrel to push down on the close-fitting

plastic washer while pulling back on the plunger (C) at the same time (See Figure 2).

3. Line up the open end of the barrel over the hole in the washer. Holding the barrel securely with one

hand, use it to push down on the washer while pulling back on the plunger at the same time.

Grease will be forced up through the hole in the washer and sucked into the grease gun barrel

(See Figure 2).

4. When the grease gun barrel is full, slide it sideways to "cut off" the pillar of grease you've made

inside the barrel (See Figure 3)

5. Screw the barrel back on the head by turning clockwise and tighten by hand (See Figure 4).

6. Loosen the head a 1/4 turn to help purge air. Carefully release the plunger by pressing down on the

spring plunger release (G). Tighten the head back to the barrel.

7. Pump the trigger until grease begins to flow from the coupler (F). It will take several pumps until

grease begins to flow. If grease does not flow, make sure the plunger is free to push grease up the

barrel by pressing the spring plunger release (G). Repeat until grease flows correctly.

NOTE: Trapped air and air bubbles in the grease are the most common causes of poor grease flow.

Always purge trapped air using method above.

GREASE LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Quantity

Use caution when loading grease to prevent damaging substances (dirt, metal shavings or particles,

etc.) from contaminating the grease.

There are two methods for loading grease:

Method 1:

Grease Cartridge Loading (most common)

Method 2:

Grease Tub Loading (from bulk container)

METHOD 1: GREASE CARTRIDGE LOADING

1. Unscrew the barrel (A) from the head (B) by turning counterclockwise.

2. Holding the barrel securely with one hand, pull the plunger (C) all the way out. Make sure it locks

into place before relaxing your grip on the barrel or plunger.

3. To prepare the grease cartridge, first remove the plastic lid from one end, then insert the cartridge

(open end first) all the way into the barrel. The metal pull-tab lid will be visible.

4. Remove the metal pull-tab lid. Make sure no metal slivers fall into the grease.

5. With the grease cartridge fully inserted, screw the barrel back on the head by turning clockwise and

tighten by hand (See Figure 5).

6. Loosen the head a 1/4 turn to help purge air. Carefully release the plunger by pressing down on

the spring plunger release (G). Tighten the head back to the barrel.

7. Pump the trigger until grease begins to flow from the coupler (F). It will take several pumps until

grease begins to flow. If grease does not flow, make sure the plunger is free to push grease up the

barrel by pressing the spring pluger release (G). Repeat until grease flows correctly (See Figure 6).

NOTE: Trapped air and air bubbles in the grease are the most common causes of poor grease flow.

Always purge trapped air using method above.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

Always make sure the dispensing nozzle or coupler (F) is clean before using. Pump out a small

amount of grease, then wipe off with a clean rag or lint-free cloth before attaching to the grease

fitting to be lubricated.

Always make sure grease fittings are clean before lubricating. Clean away all dirt before attaching

the grease gun, even if grease fitting caps are used. Inspect and replace damaged fittings.

Clean grease fittings after applying grease.

Ensure the proper type of grease is used at every grease point. Applying the wrong grease can

cause incompatibility problems and lead to bearing failure. Use colored labels, adhesive dots, or

paint markers to identify which type of grease should be used on various lubrication points.

1. The grease coupler provided at the end of the grease gun

extension has small "jaws" that snap on to a grease fitting and

maintain a tight fit.

To connect the coupler to a grease fitting, press the coupler

straight onto the fitting to form a snug fit. Always keep the

extension and coupler straight on to the grease fitting when

pumping grease.

2. To remove, slightly tilt the coupler until resistance is felt, then

twist and pull back. This tilt-and-twist movement will allow the

coupler to properly detach from the grease fitting.

If coupler is difficult to remove, loosen grease coupler a 1/4 turn or

until jaws have relaxed their grip enough to remove the grease

coupler from the grease fitting.

WARNING

Disengaging the coupler by pulling it out straight could break

grease fitting.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Use a wet towel to clean the grease gun head, barrel and parts after each use, and dry it thoroughly.

Make sure the tool is properly cleaned and that there are no contaminates on it before storing.

STORAGE

Grease guns should be stored unpressurized in a horizontal position, in a clean, cool dry area to help

prevent grease from separating. Grease gun clamps are recommended (not included) to make

storage simpler and safer.
