Introduction

single hand operated grease gun.
Please read and retain this instruction sheet to assist
you in the operation and maintenance of this quality
product.

Product Description

Your Macnaught Flexigun is a pistol grip type grease gun
complete with high pressure flexible grease hose for easy
access to those hard to reach grease points.
The Flexigun is designed for use with 400g (K32) or 450g
(K29) cartridges or bulk grease. The filler/bleeder valve in
the head also allows clean filling from 20kg (35lb) grease
pails using a Macnaught "J3" Grease Gun Filler Pump.
The "variable stroke" feature of this grease gun allows you
to achieve higher greasing pressures using short piston
strokes or high volume with a full stroke.
CAUTION
Caution must
unscrewing the barrel or unscrewing the pull handle
from the follower rod as the large follower spring
inside the barrel is energised.
Select the correct Follower position
Most Macnaught grease guns are equipped with a single
lip, two position follower so you can use either cartridge or
bulk grease with minimum grease by-passing the follower.
