Gun operation
Battery () is intentionally shipped with a
low charge. Charge battery prior to use.
• Refer to the battery charger operation
section for details.
NOTE*
Grease gun is equipped with software to
protect motor. Software will cut power
to motor and LCD will light with solid red
backlight when blocked bearing, line, or
grease fitting causes gun to stall.
Release trigger immediately if this
situation occurs.
For maximum motor life, avoid
operating at stall.
Failure to comply may result in
property damage.
Speed selection
Two speed electronic transmission provides
a high and low flow rate. Refer to perfor-
mance specifications for delivery rate. Gun is
in high speed when  is shown on the slide
switch () († Fig. , page ). Maximum
pressure can be achieved in both high ()
and low speed ().
NOTE*
Grease gun will automatically switch
from low speed  to high speed 
around   psi (241 bar) to obtain a
higher pressure.
LCD functions
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) () features an
electronic grease meter, grease level gauge,
and battery level indicator. To turn the LCD
ON, tap the reset button () one time
(† Fig. , page ).
To enter reset mode, press and hold the
reset button. After  seconds the digits of the
grease meter begin to flash, unit of measure
(oz/g).
Releasing the reset button when grease
meter digits are flashing will reset the meter
to zero, releasing the button while the
grease cylinder level segments are flashing
will restore the gauge to full, and releasing
the button while the unit of measure is flash-
ing will change unit of measure.
Stall*
During stall condition (in the case of a
clogged fitting or line) the gun will stop
pumping grease and the LCD display will be
illuminated with red backlight. If this
condition occurs, release trigger
immediately. Inspect, clean, and/or fix the
grease passage before trying to dispense
grease into the system.
NOTE*
Gun must develop a minimum of  
psi (483 bar) before software initially
cuts off power to motor (stall condition).
 Allow gun to remain in stall condition for
duration of  seconds before supplying
power to motor again.
 Hold trigger continuously until gun stalls
one additional time to develop
  to   psi (586 to 724 bar) at
final stall.
 Release trigger and allow grease gun to
cool for  seconds before gun will operate.
Loss of prime
Loss of prime occurs when there is an air
pocket in the grease or when the grease cyl-
inder is empty. When this occurs the LCD
screen will flash red to indicate that the gun
is not pumping grease. During loss of prime
the grease meter does not count empty pis-
ton strokes.

Flashlight
To turn the flashlight ON, tap the reset but-
ton one time. If the LCD screen is not already
ON, tap reset button twice.
To turn the flashlight OFF, simply tap the
reset button one time. The flashlight will
automatically turn OFF after  seconds
unless the trigger is operated to dispense
grease. If trigger is pressed to operate the
gun, the light will remain ON until  sec-
onds after the trigger is released.
CAUTION*

Do not stare into light beam.
Failure to comply may lead to light
personal injury.
