PRIMING THE CONTINUOUS SHOT
GREASE GUN
With the gun loaded with grease and the gun hooked to an
air supply, activate the trigger until grease flows from the
hose or pipe. To relieve air pockets, operate the air vent
valve #31 while depressing the trigger. If grease does not
flow after 10-15 seconds of operation, remove the hose or
pipe and activate the trigger until grease flows from the
hose/pipe outlet. Make sure the bearing, fitting and
lubrication line are clear and free flowing before operating
the gun. If the bearing, fitting or lubrication line is blocked,
the gun can stall.
