Check for tears, loose parts, missing parts or damaged parts.
2. Ensure all packaging material are disposed of as per your local council guide lines.

ASSEMBLY

The K8058 Lever Grease Gun requires the extension pipe to be assembled prior to use.
Connect the Extension Pipe and Coupler onto the Grease Gun Outlet of the Grease Gun Head using a thread sealant such as Teflon (not included), to make a seal-proof connection.
(DO NOT over tighten as this may fracture the Grease Gun Outlet which could result in an air leak).

OPERATION

Priming Grease Guns

A common occurrence with all grease guns is trapped air pockets within grease. Trapped air causes No or reduced grease discharge. Removing Air Pockets from Grease is referred to
as Priming or Bleeding.
It is highly recommended to prime your grease gun, before it is used, if grease stops coming out, the most probable cause is trapped air in grease. If your grease gun is regularly used,
Priming can be done without having to remove the Grease Gun Extension & Coupler from the Grease Gun Head.
1. Screw the Grease Gun Head onto the Barrel Clockwise, once the Grease Gun Head is hand tightened, unscrew the head 2-3 turns to help expel any trapped air.
2. Place the plunger handle on a flat surface while depressing the bleeder valve and the plunger release and push down firmly on the grease gun. Some grease will appear before air
is expelled.
3. Start operating the Handle till grease starts flowing out continuously. (Note that the first discharge of grease may have some air bubbles). If grease is accompanied with air
bubbles, repeat steps 5, 6, 7 to Prime the Grease Gun.
4. Once all air bubbles are removed, fully tighten the Grease Gun Head onto the Barrel.

Greasing A Grease Fitting / Nipple

The grease coupler provided at the end of the grease gun extension has a jaw type construction.
The coupler jaws will snap on to a grease fitting and maintain a tight fit. When connecting the coupler to the grease fitting,
press the coupler straight onto the grease fitting to form a snug fit (Fig 1). Start operating the grease gun with the coupler
as square to the grease fitting as possible.
Once greasing is completed, slightly tilt the coupler, twist and pull back (fig 2).
The tilt and twist action will allow easy removal of the coupler from the grease fitting.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem
Grease gun pumps little to no grease
Grease leaks from the connection between the Grease
Gun Head or the Extension pipe or the Coupler
Grease leaks from the Coupler body joint or from in-be-
tween the Coupler Jaws & Grease Nipple
Grease gun Head
Extension
Coupler
Pipe
Cause
a. Air pockets in grease
b. Dense or Frozen Grease
c. Grease Gun Extension Blocked
d. Grease Gun Head Blocked
a. Loose Connection
a. Damaged Grease Coupler
Handle
Barrel
Remedy
a. Prime Grease Gun (refer to steps 5-9 of grease gun loading)
b. Use a lower viscosity Grease / add some oil to grease to make it more
viscous / heat the Grease Gun Barrel to lower unfreeze the grease
c. Remove Extension pipe. If Grease gun pumps grease without the extension, then the
problem is with the extension, which should be cleaned / replaced
d. Dis-assemble the Grease Gun Head to check for any contaminants blocking the pas-
sage of grease Clean & Re-assemble the Grease Gun Head
a. Inspect and tighten the connection using Teflon or another form of Thread Sealant.
