A. HOW TO SUCTION LOAD YOUR GREASE GUN :
7. Prime the gun (Priming is the act of removing air and introducing Grease into the Grease Gun’s pumping mechanism). When filling the Grease Gun, it is
very important to prevent air pockets and to purge any air that may be trapped in the barrel. Caution : Air pockets in the lubricant will cause the
Lever Grease Gun to lose its prime. Prime the Grease Gun while pressing the Air Bleeder Valve to vent Air Pockets in the Grease Chamber. In most cases
the Grease Gun will prime simply by operating the Lever handle several times. Should Grease fail to appear, the Head Assembly must be bled.
8.Pump the Lever handle several times until Grease flows from the Coupler.
B. HOW TO BULK-LOAD YOUR GREASE GUN USING A GREASE FILLER PUMP : This procedure applies to all Lumax Grease Guns
(except LX-1100 and LX-1112)
.All Lumax Grease Guns are equipped
(except LX-1100 and LX-1112)
with a Filler Nipple (Bulk-loader Fitting)
on the head. CAUTION : The Filler Nipple on the Grease Gun must mate with the Loader Coupler on the Pump. The Pump may not operate
if the components are not compatible.
WARNING : The Grease Gun is equipped with a low-pressure Filler Nipple. Do not substitute with a high-pressure Grease Fitting.
Personal injury can occur due to excessive pressure. The use of a Grease Fitting will also void the warranty.
1. Wipe the Filler Nipple with a clean cloth.
2.Push the Plunger Rod (Follower-rod) all the way into the barrel of the Grease Gun.
3.Insert the Filler Nipple into the Loader Coupler on the Pump and extend the lever handle away from the barrel (See Figure 5).
4.Operate the pump until the Grease Gun barrel is full of Grease. The Plunger Rod will be fully extended when the barrel is full.
5.Remove the Filler Nipple from the Loader Coupler on the Pump.
6.Unlock the Plunger Rod from the end cap, by releasing the Plunger Lock. This would push the Plunger Rod into the barrel.
7. Refer to Point A (7), above
C. HOW TO LOAD YOUR GREASE GUN WITH A LUBRICANT CARTRIDGE :
1. Unscrew the Head Assembly from the barrel of the Grease Gun (See Figure 1). Pack head with Grease (See Figure 2).
2.Pull back the Plunger Rod. When the rod is fully extended, the Plunger Rod locks into place with posi-stop Plunger Lock.
3.Remove the plastic cap from the end of Grease Cartridge and, insert open end first, into the barrel of Grease Gun (See Figure 6)
4.Push the Grease Cartridge into the barrel until the rim of the pull-tab end contacts the rim of the barrel (See Figure 7).
Then remove the pull-tub seal from the end of the Grease Cartridge (See Figure 8).
5.Screw the head back onto the barrel. Tighten the Head Assembly securely (See Figure 4).
6.Unlock the Plunger Rod from the end cap, by releasing the Plunger Lock. This would push the Plunger Rod into the barrel.
7. Refer to Point A (7), above
8.Pump the Lever handle several times until Grease flows from the Coupler.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
Problem :
Gun will not dispense Grease
Possible Cause :
1. Grease Cartridge or Barrel is empty. 2. Air is trapped in the Grease Gun head.
Solution :
• Replace the grease cartridge or refill the barrel.

Problem :
Grease Cartridge will not empty completely. Also, if you are not sure whether the Cartridge is completely empty or not.
Possible Cause :
Tabs on rod are binding to rubber plunger assembly.
Solution :
• Connect the rod to the rubber plunger assembly.
• Push the rod into the barrel as far as it will go to move the grease forward.
• Measure the rod handle from the end cap on the barrel to the tip of the rod handle.
• If the measurement is more than 1-3/4", the grease cartridge is not empty.
• If not completely empty, disconnect rod from rubber plunger assembly after grease has been pushed forward.
Problem :
Grease leakage visible between Barrel and Head Assembly
Possible Cause :
Initial tightening of Barrel into Head Assembly not sufficient or the Rubber Seal inside the Head Assembly is damaged or missing.
Solution :
• Tighten Barrel into Head Assembly securely or replace the Rubber Seal
Problem :
Grease leakage visible at Extension or at Head Assembly
Possible Cause :
1. Initial tightening of extension into Head Assembly and/or Coupler not sufficient 2. Filler Nipple may be loose
3. Worn or damaged piston and/or bore in Head Assembly 4. Worn Air Bleeder Valve “O” Ring
Solution :
• Tighten Extension into Head Assembly and Coupler into the Extension
• Tighten Filler Nipple into Head Assembly securely
• Replace “O” Ring or Air Bleeder Valve
