GREASING A GREASE FITTING / GREASE NIPPLE
The grease coupler provided at the end of the grease gun extension has a jaw type construction.
The coupler jaws will snap on to a grease fitting and maintain a tight fit.
When connecting the coupler to the grease fitting, press the coupler straight onto
the grease fitting to form a snug fit.
Start operating the grease gun with the coupler as square to the grease fitting as
possible.
Once greasing is completed, slightly tilt the coupler, twist and pull back.
The tilt and twist action will allow easy removal of the coupler from the grease fitting.
Warning
Never try to dis-engage the coupler by pulling it out straight.
