Removing Empty Grease Cartridge
1) Pull back on the follower handle until the follower
rod is fully extended and latch the follower rod
groove into the slot on the tube cap.
2) Unscrew the grease tube assembly (9) (Fig. 6) from
the PowerLuber.
3) Carefully release the follower handle to eject the
empty cartridge from container tube.
Installing Grease Cartridge
1) Visually check the follower seal lip direction
be
fore loading a new cartridge. The follower seal lip
must be directed toward the follower handle or rear
side for cartridge loading. See Fig. 3. To change
the direction of the follower seal, unscrew tube cap
from grease tube assembly and pull on the handle
to remove follower seal from tube. Flip follower seal
over and re-assemble.
2) Pull back on the follower handle and latch the fol-
lower rod groove into the slot on the tube cap.
3) Remove the plastic cap from the grease cartridge
and insert cartridge into the container tube.
4) Remove the pull tab from grease cartridge and
screw grease tube assembly (9) into pump assem-
bly (4).
5) Release follower rod from slot. Purge air from
pump. See air purging instructions.
TO CONVERT GUN TO ALLOW FILLING
FROM BULK CONTAINER OR FILLER
PUMP
1) Unscrew the grease tube assembly cap from the
grease tube assembly. Pull on the follower handle
to extract the follower and spring from the grease
tube assembly.
2) Grasp follower between thumb and forefinger and flip
the follower lip from the rear to the front side.
NOTE. The follower resembles a cup. When the
gun is assembled for use with bulk lubricant,
the cup opens toward the pump assembly.
3) Reassemble follower into grease tube assembly
and position with the follower handle so that the
grease tube assembly cap can be tightened onto the
container tube.
TO FILL THE GUN FROM BULK CON-
TAINER
1) Remove pump assembly from grease tube assembly.
2) Pack lubricant into cavity of the pump assembly.
3) Insert the open end of the grease tube assembly into
lubricant. Slowly pull the follower handle back while
pushing the grease tube assembly deeper into the
lubricant to prevent air pockets from being pulled into
the grease tube assembly.
4) When the follower rod is fully extended, pull it side-
ways to latch the rod groove into the keyhole slot in
the grease tube assembly cap.
5) Loosely assemble the pump assembly to the grease
tube assembly. Release the follower rod from the
grease tube assembly cap and disengage the fol-
lower rod from the follower by rotating the follower

handle. Push the follower rod into the grease tube
assembly. Slowly unscrew the grease tube assembly
from the pump assembly until lubricant oozes from
the interface. Tighten grease tube assembly into the
pump assembly.
TO FILL THE GUN WITH A FILLER PUMP
Engage the follower rod with the follower by rotating the
follower handle. Insert the gun filler nipple into the filler
pump socket. Operate the filler pump to fill the container.
When the follower rod groove is exposed, the grease
tube assembly is filled. The follower rod will be extended
approximately 8 inches (20 cm). Disengage the follower
rod from the follower by rotating the follower handle.
Push the follower rod into the grease tube assembly.

Remove Air Pocket! Air pocket at grease inlet will
prevent grease from being pumped. Pushing the vent
valve intermittently will remove small air pockets. If
the air pocket is substanial and no grease flows from
coupler after trigger is pulled for 15 seconds, see
folliwng steps.
TO EXPEL AIR POCKETS
1) Withdraw the follower rod from the grease tube
assembly cap and engage it with the follower by ro-
tating the follower handle. Exert force on the follower
handle while holding down the vent valve 23
(Figure 7).
2) Pull the trigger in short bursts to operate gun until
trapped air is expelled. Disengage the follower rod
from the follower by rotating the follower handle.
Push the follower rod into the grease tube assembly.
3) If step 2 fails, unscrew the grease tube assembly
1-1/2 turns from the pump assembly.
4) Exert force on the follower handle until lubricant
oozes from the grease tube assembly and pump
assembly interface.
5) Tighten grease tube assembly into the pump assem-
bly. Disengage the follower rod from the follower by
rotating the follower handle. Push the follower rod
into the grease tube assembly.
