Air Supply
Recommended hook-up is shown in fig. 1.
3.1. Ensure that the trigger is in the Off position when connecting to the air supply.
pWARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and is between 30-150psi. Too high an air
pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the life of the gun due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.2. Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the gun.
3.3. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.

cartridges, bulk or manual fill.

pWARNING! Disconnect gun from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or
performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1. Lubricate the air tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil such as Sealey ATO/500 or
ATO/1000. If the compressed air system has no oiler, a few drops of oil can be poured into
the air inlet of the gun each day.
5.2. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
Note: Faults in the compressed air system may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced
compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the
use of hose connectors of incorrect size may reduce the air supply.
Grit or gum deposits in the tool will reduce power and may be removed by flushing out the
gun with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE 10 oil and kerosene.

pWARNING! If the gun fails to work properly, it may be due to air pockets in the grease.
To remove the air, unscrew the gun head 1 to 1½ turns and perform the following:
6.1. Draw back the plunger rod fully and release quickly. Repeat several times. This will exert
the force required to move the plunger into the cartridge (which is essential for the grease
gun to work).
Push the plunger rod all the way in.
Tighten the head to the barrel.
6.2. Press the air vent valve several times to free the air.
Note: If the SA40 is used with cartridges for a long period, it is possible
that the rubber plunger (15) may be damaged. If it is, then if used with
dispenser or bulk filling, the plunger may allow grease to seep from the
bottom of the container tube (18). To prevent this happening, use only
one type of fill method for each gun.
3.4. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose size should be 1/4 I.D. and fittings must have the same internal bore.
3.5. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and make certain
that all connections are secure.
