3. Should the equipment be used in a manner not specified, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired and the warranty voided.
4. Always wear safety glasses when using a grease gun. Keep work area clean & remove excess grease from tools, hands & clothing after use.
Do not use grease gun hose for other applications or at pressure levels above rated pressures.
Caution: Excess grease, if left on floors, tools or equipment can create surfaces that become slippery.
UNPACKING
1. Unpack all the components from the box.
When unpacking the Grease Gun, carefully inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit or storage.
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 K8007 Double Action Grease Gun requires the Extension hose to be assembled prior to use.
Connect the Extension hose 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 in any operation, if grease stops coming out, the most probable cause is trapped air in grease.
Refer to steps 5-9 of loading your grease gun for Priming of Grease Gun.
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.
Greasing A Grease Fitting / Nippl
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.
Changing Output Mode
The grease gun has two modes
High volume/Low pressure (Fig 3)
High volume is recommended if the tool is used to lubricate large bearings not requiring high pressure, beyond 3,000 PSI. Also, high output is recommended if tool
is used to refill small reservoirs of the automatic lubrication systems.
5. Push and hold the handle all the way in.
6. While still holding the handle with one hand, push the upper of the handle in towards the grease gun head and then push down on the mode lever.
Release handle
Low Volume/ High Pressure (Fig. 4)
Low volume is recommended if the tool is used in construction, mining applications and general lubrication. Low output will provide the maximum pressure of up
to 7,000 PSI the tool is capable of producing.
1. Push and hold the handle all the way in.
2. While still holding the handle with one hand, push the upper of the handle in towards the grease gun head and then push up on the mode lever.
3. Release handle
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Grease gun pumps little to no grease
Grease leaks from the connection between the Grease
Gun Head or the Extension hose or the Coupler
4. Grease leaks from the Coupler body joint or from
in-between the Coupler Jaws & Grease Nipple

`
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
Grease Mode lever
Gun Head
Handle
Barrel
Plunger
Handle
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 Hose. 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 passage of grease Clean & Re-assemble the Grease
Gun Head
Inspect and tighten the connection
using Teflon or another form of Thread Sealant
Replace the Coupler
