4. Discontinue pump operation once the groove on the
follower rod is visible.
5. Disengage follower rod from follower and push
into the Grease Cylinder.
Priming the Gun
In most cases the gun will prime simply by
operating the Trigger several times.
Should grease fail to appear, air must be bled.
Force Prime
This process manually assists air within the gun to
be bled at the Bleed Valve.
1. Pull the follower rod and engage the follower by
rotating the rod.
2. Depress Bleed Valve (35) and at the same time
push on the follower rod.
Once the air is eliminated, operate the gun several
times.
Once grease appears, disengage the follower rod
from the follower and push into the Grease Cylinder.
Gun Operation
Battery Pack (50) is intentionally shipped with a
low charge.
Charge Battery Pack prior to use.
• Refer to the following section for details.
The battery needs to be charged before first use
and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power
on jobs that were easily done before. The battery
may become warm while charging; this is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Low Battery Indicator
The low battery indicator illuminates when there
is sufficient battery charge to dispense approximately
three cartridges of grease.
Stall Indicator
The stall indicator illuminates when a stall
condition causes the thermal protector to open.
Release the trigger to turn off the stall indicator.
The thermal protector resets automatically.

CAUTION
Air pockets in the grease can cause the gun to lose
prime. Check for prime after each refill and before
lubrication.
The gun is equipped with a thermal protector to
prevent the motor from overheating. When a blocked
bearing, line, or grease fitting causes the gun to stall,
the thermal protector will open.
For maximum motor life, avoid operating at stall
Check Valve Contamination
Should the gun fail, the outlet check may be held
open. Remove Plug (47), clean Ball (44), and the Ball
seat of Head (17).

the extension cord are the same number, size, and
shape as those of the plug on the Charger. Make sure
that the extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
