ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
3
1. Assembly of rigid extension
Rigid extension can be used in easily accessible grease fittings and it also makes
greasing a one hand operation. Rigid extension has two threaded ends, one end
closer to the bend must be used to screw coupler & the other end must be screwed
with the gun head opening.
2. Removing empty cartridge
Remove any cartridge in the grease gun barrel prior to refilling. To check if a cartridge
is in the barrel, first compress the spring by pulling the plunger handle fully outward.
Remove the grease gun head by turning it counter clockwise. Release the plunger
rod from the notch and push it forward allowing the grease cartridge to come out.
3. Locking and unlocking the plunger rod
This gun incorporates a groove on its plunger rod just below the follower & a notch in
its end cap. Plunger rod can be locked in its extreme position by simply pushing the
groove inside the notch. To release the plunger rod simply pull out the rod from the
notch & slowly push the plunger rod inside.Ensure slow movement, as releasing the
plunger rod quickly with open barrel can cause accident.
4. Priming
Usually after loading, all grease equipment have some trapped air pockets in grease.
Trapped air causes zero or reduced grease discharge. Removing these air pockets
from grease is referred to as Priming or Air Bleeding. It is highly recommended to
prime the grease gun after every loading. If the grease gun has been in regular use,
priming can be done without having to remove the grease gun extension & coupler
from the grease gun head.
