3) Push the pump tube through the follower boss and
down until the lid sits on the rim of the grease container.
Hand tighten the 3 thumbscrews evenly under the rim
of the container.
4) To achieve initial prime, push the rod cap down several
times with your foot to start grease flowing through
the grease hose. When the hose is full of grease, the
rod cap will stay down.

5) Squeeze the KR gun handle and hold closed to bleed
air out of the system. When fully bled, container grease
will emerge from the gun coupler.
Note: Grease must travel through the entire length of the
hose to accomplish full bleeding and it may be
necessary to repeat step 4.
If the unit fails to prime, bump the container base several
times on a solid surface, to settle the grease.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After completing the assembly instructions described in
the previous section, your Mini-Lube is now ready for use.
When greasing, the rod cap will rise slowly. When the rod
is fully up and the gun loses pressure, push the rod cap
down once or twice to re-prime the pump and continue
greasing.
Each pump prime will provide sufficient grease for up to
30 shots of grease.
The KR Pressurite gun is normally operated on the
HI-VOLUME switch position. Should high pressure be
required to clear a blocked or seized grease nipple, simply
push the switch on the gun to the HI-PRESSURE position.
Note: Once bled of air, the Mini-Lube does not usually
require bleeding when changing over containers. If using
a grease container that is only partly filled with grease,
settle the grease and remove air bubbles by bumping
the container base several times on a solid surface.
