A. HOW TO SUCTION LOAD YOUR GREASE GUN :
1. Unscrew the Head Assembly from the barrel of the Grease Gun (See Figure 1). Pack head with Grease (See Figure 2).
2.Unscrew the end-cap from the barrel. Pull on the Plunger T-handle to extract the Plunger Assembly and spring from the barrel. Visually inspect the follower seal lip direction before fiiling the Gun.
The follower seal lip must be “flipped over” toward the Head Assembly [flip the follower seal lip over and away from the follower spring by grasping follower between thumb and forefinger and flip
the follower lip from the rear to the front side toward the Head Assembly]. (See Figure 3). Re-assemble the Follower Assembly into barrel and tighten the end-cap onto the barrel.
3.Insert the open end of the barrel below the surface of the Grease (See Figure 4).
4.Slowly pull the Follower-rod while pushing the barrel deeper into the Grease to prevent air pockets from being pulled into the barrel.
5.When the Follower-rod is fully extended, pull it sideways to latch the rod groove into the keyhole slot in the end-cap to lock the Follower-rod in place
(See Figure 5). Screw the Head Assembly loosely onto the barrel.
