visually observed being forced out of
the exit of the coupler.
- Insert the stick into the empty barrel.
- One stick fills a barrel.
- Continue pumping by screwing in the

•The GRM “SNIPER” Grease Guns are heavy-duty, industrial grade and
precision-made. Use it where proper valve lubrication is a part of a
planned maintenance program.
•The equipment is inexpensive and many users dedicate a gun to
each type of valve lubricant used. The guns are made to pump “J” or
“K” size sticks of heavy-duty valve lubricants or injectable packings
where pressure of 10,000 psi is needed for proper lubrication.
•Utilization of industry-standard lubrication fittings will reduce
manpower needs and improve lubrication efficiency.
•The GRM “SNIPER” is constructed of high-quality materials and
engineered for years of heavy-duty use. They are virtually
maintenance-free, and in-stock replacement parts are
immediately available to insure years of continuous service.
•This gun comes equipped with an 18” swivel hose assembly and
giant buttonhead coupler compatible with industry-standard
valve lubrication fittings.
•The GRM high pressure gauge and adapter accessory is
available to assist maintenance people in more efficient valve
service.

FOUR EASY STEPS TO LOADING THE GRM “SNIPER” HAND GUN
- Unwrap the lubricant.
- Lubricants in “J” and “K” size sticks
are wrapped in easy to remove plastic.

ORDERING INFORMATION
GRM HIGH PRESSURE GAUGE (OPTIONAL)
• A high pressure silicone oil filled gauge measuring 0 to 15,000 psi
•Case is stainless steel with male 1/4” connection
•Equipped with heavy-duty glass 2 1/2” dial
• Designed specifically for lubrication equipment
•When the lubricant pressure reaches the proper point, the gauge needle
will drop indicating the valve is fully serviced
•It can be used to indicate proper valve adjustment and other valve
function
Please contact us to confirm availability of other parts.
TIPS ON PROPER VALVE LUBRICATION
There are five kinds of fittings that the
buttonhead coupler will attach to. When
fitted together, lubrication can be made
while the valve is under pressure.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISENGAGE UNTIL
GUN IS FREE OF PRESSURE.
AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT
On guns with a pressure gauge, pump lubricant
into the valve as long as the pressure rises and
the valve takes lubricant. When the valve is full,
the pressure will cause a drop reading on the
gauge. If no gauge is used, the lubricant begins
pumping freer. Stop the pumping and turn the
valve to check operation, if possible.
LUBRICATION CYCLES
The amount of lubricant varies greatly
depending on how ofter the valve is
opened and closed. Less lubricant in the
seating area is lost when valves remain
open. Constant opening and closing may
require more frequent lubrication. Gauge: GG155305 Gauge Tee: GG155310

LUBRICATION EQUIPMENT
(Be sure to read complete instructions before using these Guns)
I. OPERATION & DESCRIPTION
All models of the GRM Grease Gun are high-pressure tools that should be used with caution and according to
these instructions.
IMPORTANT - do not exceed 10,000 psi
These guns are screw prime, lever operated. After loading the Gun (see II. LOADING) prime the Gun. The Gun is
now ready for operation.
During operation, lever action of the Plunger Handle (16) causes the Plunger (17) to move in and out of the Head
(1). As the Plunger (17) goes into the Head (1) it forces the material (lubricant, packing, sealant or cleaner) from
the Barrel (9) out through the Head (1) discharge port. Numerous options are available for Head (1) attachments
to transmit material to the desired pump, valve, or other equipment. Be sure to have the appropriate material
transmission apparatus or hose assembly firmly attached to Head (1) before Gun operation.
To ensure the GRM “SNIPER” will perform and operate properly after use, keep the gun out of the weather, clean
and maintained.
II. LOADING
Each new GRM “SNIPER” is ready to use, following this procedure:
A. To load the GRM “SNIPER” lever operated Grease Gun(s) with material (lubricant, packing, sealant, or cleaner)
remove the Primer Assembly from the Barrel (9) by unscrewing the Collar (10) from the Barrel (9).
Primer Assembly Includes:
- Screw Handle (11)
- Collar (10)
- Primer Spring Assembly (6)
B. Pull the Primer Assembly out of the Barrel (9).
C. Screw the Collar (10) towards the Primer Spring Assembly (6) to the end of the thread engagement. Make sure
Collar (10) does not jam against Primer Spring Assembly (6).
D. Load the Barrel (9) with material in either “J” or “K” sized sticks or bulk. If loading with bulk, leave room in the
Barrel (9) for the Primer Spring Assembly (6).
E. Push the Primer Assembly into the Barrel (9) and screw the Collar (10) onto the Barrel (9), by hand until full
thread engagement.
F. To prime the Gun, turn the Screw Handle (11) clockwise so that the Primer Spring Assembly (6) collapses and
reaches complete compression.
G. Always make sure the Head (1) and Collar (10) are firmly attached to the Barrel (9) and be sure there is full
thread engagement between parts before Gun operation.
H. Engage Gun Head (1) discharge port, hose, coupler or other material transmission apparatus with fitting or
other receptive device. Make sure connection is secure.
I. The Gun is now ready for use.
J. As the Gun loses its prime, repeat procedure F until material is completely discharged.
K. Repeat procedures A through J as necessary. Before procedure A is completed be sure Primer Spring
Assembly (6) is not compressed and Screw Handle (11) is turned counter-clockwise before removing Primer
Assembly from Barrel (9). There must be no tension on the Primer Spring Assembly (6).
To remove the Gun from operation, make sure there is no back pressure. Back-off (turn counter-clockwise) the
Screw Handle (11).
IMPORTANT - Warranty will be voided if Gun is altered.
NOTE - Contact us for other operation, repair or rebuilding procedures.
