OPERATING & MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow these precautions could result in
personal injury, and/or damage to property.
1. ALWAYS wear approved impact resistant safety
goggles. (Eye glasses are NOT safety glasses).
2. ALWAYS disconnect the tool when not in use,
before changing accessories and before carrying
out any maintenance
3. ALWAYS have trigger in the OFF position when
connecting to an air supply.
4. ALWAYS keep a safe distance between yourself
and other people when using the tool.
5. Maintain the tool with care. Keep it clean for
best and safest performance.
6. Quick change couplings should not be
located at the tool. They add weight and
could fail due to vibration.
7. DO NOT over-reach. Keep your proper footing
and balance at all times.
8. DO NOT force or misuse the tool. It will do a
better and safer job at the rate for which
it was designed.
9. DO NOT abuse hoses or connectors. NEVER
carry a tool by the hose, or yank it to
disconnect from the air supply. Keep hoses
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Check hoses for weak or worn condition
before use, and ensure that all connections
are secure.
10. DO NOT exceed 90 PSI at the tool.
11. DO NOT modify the tool in any way.
AIR SUPPLY
Tools of this type, operate on a wide range
of air pressures. It is recommended that
air pressure to this tool does not exceed
90 PSI, at the tool when running. Higher
pressure and unclean air, will shorten the
tools’ life because of faster wear, and
could be a safety hazard.
Water in the air line will cause damage to
the tool, ensure it is properly maintained
at all times.
The recommended procedure to connect
this tool to an air supply, is shown at fig. 1.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply,
has a standard ¼” BSP thread.
Line pressure, or hose inside diameter, should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses
(over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 5/16" (8mm) ID., and fittings should have the same
inside dimen.sions.
OPERATION
Ensure the air supply is disconnected before filling the grease chamber.
1. Unscrew and remove the grease chamber complete.
2. Enter a grease cartridge (available from your Clarke dealer), into the open end of the grease chamber,
then gently and progressively pull the piston rod (19) out fully, against spring pressure, whilst guiding the
cartridge into the chamber. Lock the piston Rod in place using the locking plate (21).
3. Clean the edge of the chamber before screwing back on to the body of the gun.
4. Release the piston rod by pressing the locking plate.
5. Open the Air vent valve (10) to expel any air in the chamber, and close again when solid grease is
expelled.

MAINTENANCE
Daily
1. Before use, drain water from air tank, air line and compressor.
2. If no line Lubricator is used, ensure that oil is applied to the tool (see below).
Weekly
Clean the air inlet filter.
Monthly
Run a few drops of oil through the tool. It may be entered into the tool air inlet (B), ensuring the strainer
is clear, or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply. Then run the tool. A rust inhibitive
oil, available from auto supply stores etc., is acceptable.
Be aware that factors other than the tool may effect its operation and efficiency, such as reduced
compressor output, excessive drain on the airline, moisture or restrictions in the line, or the use of
connectors of improper size or poor condition which will reduce air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the
tool may also reduce efficiency. This condition can be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and
flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil, or failing this, the tool should be dis-assembled, thoroughly
cleaned, dried and re-assembled.
Keep the tool clean at all times,
