CAUTION
This is a 50:1 ratio high pressure grease pump. Because
of the high pressures developed by this pump, the
possibility of fluid injection into the flesh, or eyes, is a
potential hazard.
Never allow any part of the human body to come in front
of, or in direct contact with a material outlet. Never point
the nozzle of the gun at yourself or anyone else.
Most injections occur because of component rupture. Never
exceed the pressure rating of any component in the
system. Remember, fluid pressure generated is fifty times
the air inlet pressure.
Weak, worn or damaged hoses are also a hazard. Before
operation check hoses for signs of wear, leaks or loose
fittings. Tighten all fluid connections regularly and replace
weak or damaged hose. Your personal safety and well
being are at stake.
If accidental injection should occur, seek immediate
emergency medical attention.
Do not use air pressure greater than 1035kPa /150psi /
10.3bar
Do not hit the unit if it fails to operate.
CAUTION
Before attempting any maintenance or repairs of this
product, disconnect air supply then squeeze gun trigger
to release pressure.
ASSEMBLY
This carton contains an Air Motor / Suction Tube assembly
(Pump unit), Lid, Follower, High Pressure Grease Hose,
B2 Booster Gun / Swivel assembly and a plastic bag
containing 3 slotted screws and an instruction sheet.
1) Remove the components from the protective packaging.
Reposition the 3 lid positioning screws so the threaded
ends are flush with the inside of the lid (Fig 1).
2) Slide the suction tube through the lid. Line up the holes
in the lid with the threaded holes in the air motor base,
so that the grease outlet of the pump faces one of the lid
handles (Fig4). This allows easy fitting and removal of
the air -line. Secure the lid to the air motor with the 3
slotted screws provided (Fig 2).

    • S
      Stephanie JonesAug 12, 2025
      If the gun leaks continuously out of the coupler, it could be due to: * Incorrect trigger adjustment: Adjust the trigger to allow 3 to 6mm (1/8” to 1/4”) free movement. * Bent or damaged plunger: Replace the plunger (60).

    • T
      Thomas MorganAug 16, 2025
      If the air motor cycles intermittently when you are not using the pump, consider these potential causes: * Grease leaking at hose and/or swivel connections: Check all connections, use thread sealant, and tighten any leaking connections. * High pressure seal worn or damaged: Replace the high pressure seal (45).

    How to troubleshoot Macnaught P3 POWERLUBE air motor that runs but does not pump grease?
    • C
      carlsonjuanAug 20, 2025
      If the air motor runs but the grease is not being pumped, the issue may be: * The grease is too thick or too cold: Use NLGI no 2 or thinner grease. Store grease in a warm place. * The grease container is damaged causing the follower to stop: Repair or replace the container, ensuring the follower can move freely.

    Why Macnaught Tools air motor runs slower than normal?
    • V
      vazquezlindsayAug 23, 2025
      The air motor may be running slower than normal because the air pressure is too low. Increase the air pressure; the minimum is 400 kPa/60 psi/4 bar, and the maximum is 1000 kPa/150 psi/10 bar.

    What to do if Macnaught P3 POWERLUBE air motor does not operate, but will cycle when the reset button is pressed?
    • Z
      zsandersAug 27, 2025
      If the air motor does not operate but cycles when the reset button is pressed, the issue could be: * The spool is jammed in the valve body: Push the reset button. If the motor starts, disconnect the air line and apply 3 or 4 drops of light oil to the air inlet of the pump. If the motor does not start, replace the spool and clean valve bore. When re-assembled, apply 3 or 4 drops of light oil to the air inlet of the pump. * Top poppet spring is fatigued: Replace the top poppet spring.

    What does it mean if grease leaks out of the seal condition hole on Macnaught P3 POWERLUBE Tools?
    • C
      christopherfloresSep 3, 2025
      If grease leaks out of the seal condition hole: * A small quantity of grease indicates the seal lubrication is OK, and no action is required. * A continuous ‘worm’ of grease indicates the seal is worn or damaged, and you should replace the Piston rod seal (18).
