Cordless Grease Gun

Priming the Gun

In most cases the gun will prime simply by operating the Trigger
several times. Should grease fail to appear, air must be bled.
Force Prime
This process manually assists air within the gun to be bled at the
Bleed Valve.
1. Pull the follower rod and engage the follower by rotating the rod.
2. Depress Bleed Valve (32) and at the same time push on the
follower rod.
Once the air is eliminated, operate the gun several times.
Once grease appears, disengage the follower rod from the follower
and push into the Grease Cylinder.
Check Valve Contamination
Should the gun fail to prime; the outlet check may be held open.
Remove Plug (44), clean Ball (41), and the Ball seat of Head (21).

Gun Operation

Battery (39) is intentionally shipped with a low charge. Charge the
Battery prior to use.
• Refer to the Battery Charger Operation section for details.
C AU T I O N : The gun is equipped with software to protect the
motor. When a blocked bearing, line, or grease fitting causes
the gun to stall, the software will cut power to the motor and
the LCD will illuminate with solid red LED backlight. If this
situation occurs, release the trigger immediately.
For maximum motor life, avoid operating at stall.
Speed Selection
The gun is equipped with a two speed electronic transmission to
provide a high and low low rate, refer to Speciications for perfor-
mance at each speed. The gun is in high speed when "2" is shown on
the slide switch (50), see igure for illustration. Maximum pressure
can be achieved in both High (2) and Low Speed (1). See Figure 3

Stall Indication
During stall condition (in the case of a clogged itting or line) the
gun will stop pumping grease and the LCD display will be illumi-
nated with Red backlight. If this condition occurs, release trigger
immediately. Inspect, clean, and/or ix the grease passage before
trying to dispense grease into the system.
Loss of Prime Indication
Loss of prime occurs when there is an air pocket in the grease or
when the grease cylinder is empty. When this occurs the LCD screen
will lash Red to indicate that the gun is not pumping grease. During
loss of prime the grease meter does not count empty piston strokes.
