INSPECTION

Visually inspect for damaged, loose or miss-
ing parts. If equipment is worn or damaged,
remove from service. Contact an authorized
service center for damage assessment or
repair.

OPERATION

Changing "L" or "H" Mode
To change the mode of operation:
To prevent damage to the gears in the
transmission, the motor must be com-
pletely stopped before changing the lever
to the "L" or "H" (low or high) mode of
operation.
"L" (low output/high pressure)
"H" (high output/low pressure)
When motor is not running, push the lever
(Fig. 1) until letter "L" or "H" will be completely
visible in the window.
In case the lever is not completely shifted/
engaged, hold this lever and bump the switch
to engage gears.
High output is recommended if the tool is
used to lubricate large bearings not requiring
high pressure, beyond 3,000 PSI (206 bar).
Also, high output is recommended if tool is
used to refill small reservoirs of automatic
lubrication systems.
Low output is recommended if the tool is
used in construction, mining applications and
general lubrication. Low output will provide
the maximum pressure of up to 7,000 PSI
(482 bar) the tool is capable of producing.

It is normal for batteries to lose their power
retention capacity over hundreds of charge
cycles. Replace the battery when this hap-
pens.
Prime the PowerLuber after each refill or
grease cartridge change. Prime the gun
before using it to lubricate grease points.
To prime, operate the gun until grease flows
from the hose. Use vent valve (Fig.1) to expel
air pockets.

Installing Grease Cartridge
1. Unscrew the grease tube assembly from the
PowerLuber.
2. Visually check the follower seal lip direction
before loading a new cartridge. The follower
seal lip must be directed toward the follower
handle or rear side for cartridge loading.
See Fig. 2. (To change the direction of the
follower seal, unscrew tube cap from grease
tube assembly and pull on the handle to
remove follower seal from tube. Flip follower
seal over and reassemble.)
3. Pull back on the follower handle and latch the
follower rod groove into the slot on the tube
cap.
4. Remove the plastic cap from the grease
cartridge and insert cartridge into the
container tube.
5. Remove the pull tab from grease cartridge
and screw grease tube assembly into pump
assembly.
6. Thread grease tube assembly back onto the
Powerhead.
7. Release follower rod from slot. Purge air
from pump. See air purging instructions.
Air pockets in the cartridge lubricant will
cause the gun to lose its prime.
Removing Empty Grease Cartridge
1. Pull back on the follower handle until the
follower rod is fully extended and latch the
follower rod groove into the slot on the tube
cap.
2. Unscrew the grease tube assembly from the
PowerLuber.
3. Carefully release the follower handle to eject
the empty cartridge from container tube.
To Convert Gun to Allow Filling From
Bulk Containter or Filler Pump
1. Unscrew the grease tube assembly cap
from the grease tube assembly. Pull on the
follower handle to extract the follower and
spring from the grease tube assembly.
2. Grasp follower between thumb and forefinger
and flip the follower lip from the rear to the
front side.
NOTE. The follower resembles a cup. When
the gun is assembled for use with bulk
lubricant, the cup opens toward the pump
assembly.
