5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
ˆ
5.1.
Priming the Grease Gun
5.1.1.
Before loading the grease gun with a cartridge or filling via a grease bucket, it is ideal to prime the gun.
5.1.2.
To prime the gun simply pack grease into the cavity located at the entrance of the gun assembly (where the grease
tube screws into the gun) and operate the trigger, this will induce the intake of grease into the gun assembly.
5.2.
Cartridge Loading (fig.2)
5.2.1.
Remove the gun head from the grease tube.
5.2.2.
Fully draw back the plunger handle.
5.2.3.
Insert the open end of the cartridge into the grease tube and push it all the way in. Remove the seal or pull tab end from the
cartridge.
5.2.4.
Reassemble the gun head to the grease tube. Press the catch plate and release the plunger rod. Push down on the plunger
handle.
5.3.
Suction Filling (fig.2)
5.3.1.
Remove the gun head from the grease tube.
5.3.2.
Submerge the open end of the grease tube into grease bucket by approximately 50mm and slowly pull the plunger handle out fully.
5.3.3.
Reassemble the gun head to the grease tube. Press the catch plate and release the plunger rod. Push down on the plunger
handle.
5.4.
Loading with Filler Pump (fig.2)
5.4.1.
Fully draw back the plunger handle.
5.4.2.
Insert bulk loader valve (fig.3) into filler pump socket.
5.4.3.
Operate the filler pump to fill the grease tube.
5.4.4.
Disconnect the grease gun from the filler pump.
5.4.5.
Press the catch plate and release the plunger rod. Push down on the plunger handle.
5.5.
Operation
5.5.1.
To operate the grease gun simply push the grease outlet onto the the grease nipple and operate the trigger until the desired
amount of grease has been dispensed.
5.5.2.
If you encounter air pockets during operation simply exert force on the plunger, press the air vent valve (fig.3) and operate trigger
in short, sharp bursts until grease begins to flow from the nozzle.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect gun from air supply before performing maintenance.
ˆ
6.1.
Lubricate the air tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil such as Sealey ATO/500 or ATO/1000. If the compressed air system has
no oiler, a few drops of oil can be poured into the air inlet of the gun each day.
6.2.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
Note: Faults in the compressed air system may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain
on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connectors of incorrect size may reduce the air supply.
Grit or gum deposits in the tool will reduce power and may be removed by flushing out the gun with gum solvent oil or an equal
mixture of SAE10 oil and kerosene.
Note: If the SA401.V2 is used with cartridges for a long period, it is possible that the rubber plunger may become damaged. If it is
then used with manual or bulk filling systems, the plunger may allow grease to seep from the bottom of the grease tube. To prevent
this happening, check the condition of the rubber plunger, and if worn, replace before using a different fill method.
