BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Description

Air-operated grease guns are designed for lubricating automobiles, recreational vehicles, machinery and lawn/farm equipment in shots—this tool does NOT apply grease in a continuous flow. The container tube is capable of dispensing bulk-filled or 14 ounce grease cartridges. A 9 inch flexible hose allows access to hard to reach fittings.

UNPACKING

After unpacking the unit, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing or damaged parts. Check to be sure all supplied accessories are enclosed with the unit. In case of questions, damaged or missing parts, please visit www.campbellhausfeld.com for customer assistance.

Do not operate with WARNING

if damaged during shipping, handling or use. Damage may result in bursting and

cause injury or property damage.

Other Parts (Not Provided)

You will need the following items and/or accessories to properly set-up and use this air-operated grease gun:

• 1/4 in. Plug NPT (M)
- For less stress on your air hose and you, try a flex plug.
• 1/4 in. (ID) Air Hose
• 1/4 in. Coupler NPT (F)

• Eliminate coupler confusion with a universal coupler style.
• Quick-connect couplers quickly, easily join hoses to tools.
• If you don't use a flex plug, consider a swivel coupler to prevent hose kinks and reduce stress on your air hose.

• 1 Gallon air compressor or larger
• 14 Ounce grease cartridge or bulk grease
- Adjustable wrench and PTFE tape to ensure tight connections

See www.campbellhausfeld.com for additional information on accessories to support your air tools and pneumatic system.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Your grease gun comes from the manufacturer in 3 pieces. Unwrap each piece from their protective poly bag. Thread the grease hose into the inlet port of the grease gun and tighten. To prevent grease from seeping between grease hose and grease gun, use PTFE tape and an adjustable wrench to ensure a leak-proof connection.

Determine the method you will be using to fill the grease container tube from the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS below.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fill container tube with grease using one of the 3 methods described below.

Grease Cartridges:

1. Unscrew the grease gun from the container tube.
2. Pull the plunger handle back and out of the container tube as far as it will go.

3. Insert the open end of a 14 ounce grease cartridge into the container tube and push the cartridge completely in to the container tube.

4. Remove the seal from the grease cartridge.

2. Press the handle release down to activate the plunger handle rod and push the plunger handle back into the container tube.

3. Press the air vent valve several times to relieve any air pockets near the top of the container tube.

Filler-Pump Method:

1. Thread the container tube on to the grease gun and turn until tight.
2. Pull the plunger handle back and out of the container tube as far as it will go.
3. Connect the filler-pump hose to the bulk-fill port.
4. Pump grease in to the container tube until filled; disconnect the grease gun from the filler-pump hose.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

Bulk-Filled Grease:

1. Unscrew the grease gun from the container tube.
2. Insert open end of container tube in to grease bucket (fully submerging the opening).
3. Pull the plunger handle back to suck grease in to the container tube. Pull slowly and with consistent force to ensure that the container tube is full of grease by the time the plunger handle is fully extended.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Failure to lubricate and maintain your air tools properly will dramatically shorten their life. Use "air tool" oil every time you use your grease gun to lubricate, clean and inhibit rust in one step. Campbell Hausfeld sells air tool oil under part number ST1270.

In addition to regular lubrication of your air tool, the grease gun piston must be lubricated periodically. Under heavy usage, the piston should be greased with bearing grease every four months. For light usage only once a year.

To grease the piston:

1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
2. Remove the 4 screws on the gun head.
3. Separate the gun head from the pistol grip and remove the spring and the piston.
4. Apply a film of bearing grease around the exterior of the rubber skirt on the piston and a thin film of grease on the inside of the cylinder.
5. Install the spring and piston and reassemble the gun head and the pistol grip. Insert and tighten 4 screws.
