Clearing Contamination
If the motor runs when the trigger is pulled, but there
is no pumping sound and grease is not dispensed,
there may be contamination in the grease gun. Al-
ways make sure the barrel (inside and outside) and
surfaces contacting the barrel are clean of dirt, dust
and debris. This debris can be pulled into the grease
gun and clog the valve.
To clear the contamination:
1. Check to be sure the tool is properly primed and
that there is suffi cient grease in the barrel.
If the problem persists...
2. Remove the hose assembly.
3. Pull and hold the trigger for up to 45 seconds. If
grease begins to pump out of the tool the debris
has been cleared. Reattach the hose assembly
and begin using the tool.
If the problem persists...
4. Remove the bolt from below the hose assembly.
5. Pull trigger for 15 seconds to clear the contamina-
tion.
6. If a spring or ball are
expelled, wipe away any
contamination and re-
insert, as shown.
7. Reattach the bolt and
tighten securely.
8. Pull trigger for 30 sec-
onds.
