OPERATION
 Slowly rotate the grease tube handle clockwise until it
engages the rest of the plunger assembly.
 Disconnect the grease gun from the filler pump (not
provided).
 Tilt the grease gun upward to avoid spillage, then replace
the coupler (not provided) with the fill plug.
 Use a clean dry cloth to remove excess grease.
 Slowly allow the grease tube handle to move forward and
into the grease tube.
NOTE: After the grease is loaded, use the purge valve to
purge any air trapped in the grease tube. For more details,
see Using the Purge Valve later in the manual.
OPERATING THE GREASE GUN
See Figure 11, page 13.
This tool is shipped from the factory with residual grease
in the grease tube and high pressure hose. Before first use
and whenever you are switching types of grease, load the
tool with the grease of your choice, point the grease coupler
towards an approved grease container, and run the tool until
the old grease is expelled and the new grease begins to flow.
WARNING:
Do not direct grease toward hands, eyes, or other body
parts. Failure to follow this rule can result in pressurized
grease being injected into your skin or eyes resulting in
infection or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, do not add grease to machinery
while it is in operation or still hot. Fire could result in death
or serious injury.
 Load grease as described earlier in the manual.
 Install the battery pack.
 Hold the grease gun near the object being lubricated or
sit it on its base in a stable location.
 Grasp the high pressure hose by the spring guard and
remove it from the hose clips.
WARNING:
Hold the high pressure hose by the spring guard and
keep hands away from the exposed rubber portions
of the hose. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
injection.
 Connect the grease coupler to the fitting or component
being lubricated.
NOTE: Gently pull on the grease coupler to make sure it is
secure. If it does not hold on to the fitting or component,
the coupler could be damaged and may need to be
replaced.
 Slide lock-off button to the unlocked position, and press
the switch trigger to start the flow of grease.
WARNING:
During operation, check the high pressure hose, grease
coupler, purge valve and other components of the
tool for leaks. If a leak is present, stop the grease gun
immediately and discontinue use until the leak has been
fixed. Leaking hoses and fittings are capable of causing
injection injury.
 The tool should provide a continuous flow of grease while
the switch trigger is depressed. If the grease gun fails to
pump grease, pockets of air may be present in the grease
tube. Use the purge valve to purge any air trapped in the
tube. For more details, see Using the Purge Valve later
in the manual.
 When the job is complete, release the switch trigger and
remove the coupler.
NOTE: If the coupler is difficult to remove, move it side
to side to remove any residual pressure and try again.
 Before storing the tool, slide lock-off button to the locked
position and remove the battery pack.
USING THE PURGE VALVE
See Figure 12, page 13.
The presence of air inside the grease tube can cause the
grease gun to stall or stop during operation. Use the purge
valve to purge this air from the system after loading grease
or as needed during operation.
 Slide lock-off button to the locked position and remove
the battery pack.
 Loosen but do not remove the purge valve to allow
trapped air to escape.
 Tighten the purge valve.
 Install the battery pack.
 Grasp the high pressure hose by the spring guard and
remove it from the hose clips.
 Point the grease coupler towards an approved grease
container.
 Slide lock-off button to the unlocked position, and press
the switch trigger to start the flow of grease.
 If the grease gun continues to stall and grease does not
flow, repeat these steps.
