Connecting the nozzle to the Grease nipple
Fig 1. Push the nozzle vertically onto the fitting until it grips the fitting, then start greasing.
GREASING A GREASE NIPPLE
The grease coupler provided at the end of the grease gun extension has a jaw type construction.
The coupler jaws will snap on to a grease nipple and maintain a tight fit.
When connecting the coupler to the grease fitting, press the coupler straight onto the grease
fitting to form a snug fit. Start operating the grease gun with the coupler as square to the grease
fitting as possible.
Once greasing is completed, slightly tilt the grease nipples nozzle, twist and pull back. The tilt
and twist action will allow easy removal of the grease nipple nozzle from the grease fitting.
WARNING
Never try to dis-engage the grease coupler by pulling it out straight (Fig 1)
Tilt the grease coupler as in (fig 2) to remove it.
Note:
If however you still have a problem removing the nozzle from the grease nipple you can
release the pressure of the clamping action by unscrewing the nozzle several turns from its main
body, do not unscrew all the way or the clamping mechanism will fall away from the body.
Maintenance
Although the grease gun does not require special routine maintenance check, be careful not to
introduce foreign material into grease. As the fitting at the lubrication inlet gathers dirt and sand,
keep it clean along with the grease gun.
Trouble shooting
Grease may not come out easily when you use the grease gun for the first time due to Air trapped
in the gun head, In that case, be sure to fully open or close the lever, applying some extra pressure
to the sprung rod end (7) will assist in removing the initial air within the head.
Note:
that operating the lever halfway through the stroke cannot draw grease in the grease cylinder.
