2. Screw grease gun fitting onto other end of
high-pressure hose and tighten securely (see
Figure 3).
Filling
1. Remove lid assembly from grease drum.
Tip: When removing lid assembly from drum,
tilt it slightly to one side. This relieves suction
and allows assembly to slide out more easily.

3. Attach grease pump to compressed air
source. To improve tool lifespan and avoid
contaminating grease with water from air
supply lines, use a filter/lubricator/regulator
setup, as shown in Figure 4.

2. Fill drum with bulk grease (see Specifications
on Page 1), ensuring that no air pockets
remain.
3. Slide lid assembly back into grease drum,
making sure follower plate is seated evenly
against side of drum body to prevent air pockets from forming (see Figure 5).

Do not allow pneumatic pump to run dry.
This can cause pump to overheat, which
can quickly damage the machine. This type
of damage is considered to be neglect and
will not be covered under warranty.

Operation
1. Connect grease pump to compressed air
regulated at 90–115 PSI (see Figure6).
Note:To alter pressure setting on pump, pull
regulator cap out. Turn left to decrease pressure; turn right to increase pressure. Push
cap back in when finished.
Maintenance
Clean and lubricate the pneumatic pump and
grease gun on a regular basis to ensure safe and
efficient operation. When not in use, the highpressure hose and grease gun should be disconnected from the grease pump. The grease pump
should be stored away from direct heat, in a dry
area with good ventilation.

2. Squeeze grease gun trigger once or twice to
expel any contaminants or old grease. Allow
just enough grease to escape to ensure it is
clean, then wipe off with rag.
3. Insert tip of grease gun into fitting to be lubricated, then squeeze trigger to inject grease.
Do not perform maintenance on pump until
it has been disconnected from air source.
Exposure to air under high pressure can
cause serious personal injury.
Cleaning
After each use, hold down grease gun trigger to
ensure that all grease has been expelled. Then
remove tip of grease gun and wipe down all parts.
Lubrication
Weekly, put 2 oz. of air-pump lubricant in the air
inlet hole (see Figure 7).

4. Once desired amount of grease has been
injected into fitting, release trigger.
5. When finished, disconnect compressed air
source.
Do not disconnect grease gun or highpressure hose while grease pump is connected to air source. Serious personal
injury can result otherwise.

SymptomPossible CausePossible Solution
Grease not pumping
through gun.
Grease pumping
slowly from gun.
Grease leaking at
outlet/hose connection.
1. Blockage in grease gun.
2. Air pocket in grease drum.
3. Not enough grease in drum.
1. Grease is too heavy (thick).
2. Insufficient air pressure.
3. Pump/air source leaks.
4. Obstruction in grease gun.
5. Obstruction between check valve and air
inlet valve.
1. Loose hose connection.1. Tighten hose on outlet connection.
1. Disassemble and clean gun assembly.
2. Remove lid assembly, then slowly re-insert; keep
follower plate square to grease drum.
3. Refill drum with more grease.
1. Add 8–10 oz. of SAE 40 or similar oil to grease drum;
use lighter weight grease.
2. Check air source for correct psi: 90–115.
3. Tighten fittings.
4. Disassemble grease gun and clean thoroughly.
5. Disassemble grease inlet valve and clean thoroughly.

run after grease gun
trigger is released.
