that is latched onto a slot in the end cap to
hold the plunger rod when fully extended. Be-
fore pushing the plunger rod into the barrel,
simply release it from the slot, allowing it to
slide forward.
3. Priming: Usually after loading, all grease
equipment have some trapped air pockets in
grease. Trapped air causes zero or reduced
grease discharge. Removing these air pockets
from grease is referred to as Priming or Air
Bleeding. It is highly recommended to prime
the grease gun after every loading.
CARTRIDGE LOADING
1. Pull the plunger rod
fully backwards and
latch the plunger rod
groove into the slot
on the end cap of the
grease barrel.
2. Unscrew the grease
barrel from the gun
head by rotating anti-
clockwise.
3.
Carefully
release
the plunger handle
to eject the empty
cartridge from grease
barrel.
4. Remove the plastic
cap from the grease
cartridge and insert
cartridge
into
the
grease barrel.
5. Remove the pull tab
from grease cartridge
and screw grease bar-
rel into gun head.
6. Release air from
grease by following
Priming Instructions.
BULK LOADING
1. Unscrew the grease
barrel from the gun
head by rotating anti-
clockwise. Insert the
open end of the bar-
rel about 2 into the
grease container.

2. Slowly pull the plunger handle back to draw
in grease into the empty barrel while pushing
the grease barrel deeper into the grease un-
til the plunger rod is fully extended. This will
prevent air pockets from being pulled into the
grease barrel.
3. The grease gun barrel should now be filled
with grease. The outside surface may have a
lot of grease stuck to it and should be wiped
clean for safety.
4. Shake the grease gun barrel to allow grease
to settle down. Screw back the grease gun
head tightly onto the barrel.
5. Release air from grease by following Priming
Instructions.
TRANSFER PUMP LOADING
1. Wipe the grease
gun's
bulk
loader
valve free of grease
and possible debris.
Activate the transfer
pump until a small
amount
of
grease
comes out. This step
will minimize transfer-
ring any trapped air.

2. Engage the plunger
rod with the follower
by rotating the plung-
er
handle.
Connect
the Bulk Loader Valve
tightly on the grease
gun to the loader
adapter on the trans-
fer pump line.
3. Start operating the
transfer pump, keep-
ing your hand on the
grease
gun,
lightly
pushing it down onto
the transfer pump.
4. Once the gun barrel is filled, pumping
would get very hard. The follower rod will be
extended approximately 8 inches exposing the
plunger rod groove. Stop at this time. Discon-
nect the Bulk Loader Valve from the transfer
pump line.
5. Release air from grease by following Priming
Instructions.
