4.1 Air Bleeding Procedure

Before initial use or after reloading grease, it is crucial to remove any trapped air from the system to ensure proper grease flow:

1. Locate the air vent valve on the pump head of the grease gun.
2. Slowly unscrew the air vent valve a few turns.
3. Press the trigger to activate the grease gun. Continue to hold the trigger until grease begins to emerge from the air vent.
4. Once grease appears, re-tighten the air vent valve securely.

Video 2: This video demonstrates how to troubleshoot a grease gun by releasing trapped air from the cylinder, a common issue that prevents grease flow.

4.2 Greasing Procedure

1. Ensure the grease gun is properly loaded and air has been bled.
2. Attach the coupler firmly to the grease fitting on the equipment. For hard-to-reach areas, utilize the 40-inch flexible hose or the extension pipe.
3. Press the trigger to begin dispensing grease. The built-in LED light will illuminate the fitting area.
4. Para gre continuoasing, engage the lock-on trigger feature. This allows grease to flow without constant pressure on the trigger.
5. Continue greasing until fresh grease appears around the fitting or as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
6. Release the trigger (or disengage the lock-on feature) and detach the coupler from the fitting.

1. Ensure the grease cartridge is not empty and is properly seated.
2. Verify the plunger rod is fully engaged and pushing the grease forward.
3. Perform the air bleeding procedure as described in Section 4.1. Unscrew the air vent valve until grease emerges, then re-tighten.

6.2 Low Pressure

If the grease gun is operating but delivering low pressure:

• Check the battery charge level. A low battery can reduce motor performance.
• Inspect the hose and coupler for any blockages or damage.
