Performance Tool W54290 User manual

Heavy Duty Lever Grease Gun
OWNER’S MANUAL
Stock Number W54290
FOR YOUR SAFETY,
please read these instructions carefully
and retain them for future use.

NOTE - Because they
lack lubrication on the
rubber plunger, new
grease guns may be
difficult to load with grease cartridges the first time.Apply a liberal coating of grease to
plunger when using gun for the first time. This grease gun requires a 14 oz. grease cartridge.
2. Draw handle back fully so that the plunger rod
catches and locks into place. (Figure 2)
CAUTION: Depressing the lock release when
empty causes the handle to snap back quickly.
3. After removing the plastic cap from the grease
cartridge, apply a small amount of grease to the
inside edge of the cartridge. This will make insertion
of the plunger easier. (Figure 3)
4. Push grease cartridge into gun barrel completely, until metal edge tightly seals on top of
the grease gun barrel. Detach flip-top seal from cartridge. (Figure 4)
NOTE - This is a basic instruction manual which covers various models of grease guns.

5. Screw on head cap approximately two turns, being sure not to tighten. Release plunger
rod from its locked position and push in. Push on plunger rod handle to force plunger into
cartridge. At the same time, pump the lever or handle to release trapped air. When grease
comes through vents and the head of the gun, fully tighten the head cap to the barrel.
6. As soon as the gun is pumping grease, carefully depress
the lock release and push plunger rod back into gun.

NOTE - Used cartridges must be removed prior to suction filling.
1. Remove the gun head cap from the barrel.
2. Submerge open end of the barrel into grease bucket. Be sure
the plunger handle is depressed completely. Grasp the barrel
firmly and pull back slowly on the plunger handle. Be sure the
mouth of the barrel is always under the surface so that air is not
transferred into the barrel. (Figure 6)
3. Loading is complete when plunger rod is fully extended.
4. Reattach the gun head cap to the barrel. Depress lock release
and push the plunger rod back into the gun.
NOTE - Grease guns may lose their prime on occasion, because of air pockets in the grease.
If this occurs, remove the trapped air by bleeding the head cap and resume pumping.
