Figure 1 & Figure 2 - Cartridge Loading Steps

To Expel Air Pockets from Grease

Normally, the gun will self-expel air pockets by pumping the handle 5 to 10 times. After each reload of grease:

1. Take off the spout from the gun head.
2. Unscrew the container tube 1-2 turns from the gun head.
3. Pull the plunger rod and rotate to engage the follower, and push the plunger rod into the container tube to help expel air pockets.
4. Draw back the plunger rod fully and release it quickly.
5. Press the handle to check the flow of grease output.
6. Repeat the above steps if necessary.
7. Retighten the head firmly and re-screw the spout securely.
8. Your grease gun is ready to use.

Caution

1. Remove any dirt or grease from the fitting to be lubricated.
2. For longer service life and efficient operation of the coupler, do not suddenly pull the coupling away from the lubrication fitting. Remove the coupler by lifting it sideways and rolling it away from the fitting.
