2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions before operating this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury.

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when operating the grease pump.
• Ensure the air compressor is disconnected and the pressure is relieved before performing any maintenance or assembly.
• Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure specified for the pump (6-8 bar).
• Use only lubricants compatible with the pump and the components being greased.
• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating the pump.
• Never point the grease gun nozzle at yourself or others. High-pressure grease injection can cause severe injury.
• Inspect the hose and connections for damage before each use. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Ensure the pump is stable on a level surface during operation.

4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present according to the packing list (not provided, assume standard components). Note: The wheels and castors are located inside the pressure tank for shipping.
2. Wheel Assembly: Attach the wheels and castors to the base of the unit. Ensure they are securely fastened for stability and mobility.
3. Handle Installation: Securely attach the handle to the main body of the pump.
4. Grease Filling:
   • Open the lid of the 15L grease reservoir.
   • Fill the reservoir with the appropriate type of grease. Ensure the grease is clean and free of contaminants.
   • Place the follower plate (if separate) on top of the grease to prevent air pockets and ensure consistent feeding.
   • Securely close the reservoir lid.
5. Hose and Gun Connection: Connect the high-pressure grease hose to the pump outlet and the grease gun to the other end of the hose. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
6. Air Supply Connection: Connect your air compressor hose to the air inlet fitting on the pump's pressure regulator. Ensure the air supply is clean and dry.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Air Supply: Ensure your air compressor is set to deliver between 6-8 bar (87-116 PSI) of pressure.
2. Adjust Regulator: Use the pressure regulator on the pump to fine-tune the air pressure entering the pump mechanism. Refer to Figure 3.4.
3. Prime the Pump (Initial Use):
   • With the grease gun nozzle pointed safely away from people and objects, slowly open the air supply to the pump.
   • Operate the grease gun trigger until grease begins to flow smoothly, indicating the pump is primed and air has been purged from the system.
4. Lubrication:
   • Attach the grease gun nozzle securely to the grease fitting (zerk) on the component to be lubricated.
   • Press the grease gun trigger to dispense grease. Apply grease until resistance is felt or until the specified amount for the component is reached. Avoid over-greasing.
   • Release the trigger to stop the flow of grease.
5. After Use:
   • Close the air supply valve to the pump.
   • Relieve any remaining pressure in the system by briefly pressing the grease gun trigger (point safely away).
   • Disconnect the air hose from the pump.
   • Clean the grease gun and hose to prevent contamination and store the unit in a clean, dry place.

6. Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump, hose, and grease gun clean. Wipe off any spilled grease immediately.
• Hose and Fitting Inspection: Periodically inspect the high-pressure hose for cracks, kinks, or damage. Check all fittings for tightness and signs of leakage. Replace damaged components promptly.
• Air Filter/Lubricator: If your air supply system includes an air filter or lubricator, ensure it is regularly maintained according to its manufacturer's instructions. Clean and drain the air filter bowl as needed.
• Grease Quality: Always use high-quality, clean grease. Contaminated grease can damage the pump mechanism and the components being lubricated.
• Storage: Store the grease pump in a dry, clean environment, protected from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
