Loading Grease (Cartridge or Bulk)
The grease gun supports both standard 14 oz grease cartridges and bulk grease. Always use NLGI #0, #1, or #2 grease.
Image: The grease gun is compatible with both 14 oz grease cartridges and bulk grease.
For 14 oz Grease Cartridges:
- Unscrew the barrel from the gun head.
- Pull the plunger rod all the way back and lock it into place.
- Remove both ends of the grease cartridge.
- Insert the cartridge into the barrel.
- Reattach the barrel to the gun head.
- Release the plunger rod.
For Bulk Grease:
- Unscrew the barrel from the gun head.
- Pull the plunger rod all the way back and lock it into place.
- Fill the barrel directly with bulk grease.
- Reattach the barrel to the gun head.
- Release the plunger rod.
Important: After loading grease, it is crucial to purge any air from the system to ensure proper operation. Loosen the air bleed valve (usually a small knob or screw near the hose connection) until grease begins to flow, then tighten it.

Operating Instructions
General Operation
- Ensure the grease gun is properly loaded and air is purged.
- Attach the desired coupler (e.g., lock-on, 90-degree) to the flexible hose or metal extension tube.
- Connect the coupler firmly to the grease fitting on the equipment to be lubricated.
- Press the trigger to dispense grease. Release the trigger to stop the flow.
- Monitor the amount of grease dispensed to avoid over-lubrication.
- After greasing, disconnect the coupler from the fitting.

2-in-1 Rotating Handle
The handle can be rotated to switch between a pistol grip for tight spaces and a straight grip for extended reach or heavy-duty applications.
- Pistol Grip: Ideal for maneuvering in confined areas.
- Straight Grip: Provides better leverage and control for applications requiring more force or reach.
Image: The handle can be adjusted to a pistol grip or straight grip for versatility.
LED Work Light
The integrated LED light illuminates the work area, which is particularly useful in dark or hard-to-reach locations. The light activates automatically when the trigger is pressed.

Flexible Hose and Couplers
The 39-inch flexible hose allows access to grease fittings in challenging locations. The kit includes four versatile couplers:
- Lock-on Coupler: Provides a secure, leak-free connection for hands-free greasing.
- 90° Coupler: Designed for reaching fittings at awkward angles.
- Pointed Tip Coupler: For specific types of grease fittings.
- Straight Coupling: Standard coupler for general use.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the tool clean and free of grease and debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Storage: Store the grease gun in its carrying case in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Remove the battery pack before storage.
- Couplers and Hose: Regularly inspect couplers and the flexible hose for wear or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately to prevent leaks and ensure efficient operation.
- Plunger Rod: Ensure the plunger rod moves freely. If it becomes stiff, clean it and apply a light lubricant.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No grease flow | Air trapped in the system | Purge air by loosening the air bleed valve until grease flows, then retighten. |
| No grease flow | Empty grease cartridge/barrel | Replace grease cartridge or refill with bulk grease. |
| No grease flow | Clogged coupler or fitting | Clean or replace the coupler. Clean the grease fitting on the equipment. |
| Gun not turning on | Battery not installed correctly or discharged | Ensure battery is fully seated. Charge or replace the battery. |
| Grease leakage | Loose connections or damaged hose/coupler | Tighten all connections. Inspect and replace damaged hose or couplers. |
