Perfomance Tool W50014 - Grease Gun Operation

To Convert The Gun To Allow Filling From Bulk Container 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thefollowerbetweenyourthumbandforengerandip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.
3. Reassemble the follower into the grease tube assembly and position with the follower
handle so that the grease tube assembly cap can be tightened onto the container tube.
To Fill The Gun From A Bulk Container
1. Rotate the grease tube assembly counterclockwise to unscrew the grease tube
assembly from the gun.
2. Insert the open end of the grease tube assembly into the lubricant. Slowly pull the
follower handle back while pushing the grease tube assembly deeper into the lubricant to
prevent air pockets from being pulled into the grease tube assembly.
3. When the follower rod is fully extended (approximately 8 in. or 20 cm), the grease tube
assembly is full. Release the follower key to hold the follower rod in its extended position.
4. Screw the grease tube assembly clockwise into the gun. To release the follower rod,
depress the follower key and push the follower rod forward into the grease tube assembly.
Purge the air from the pump. See the section To Re-prime.
5. Clean any excess grease from the gun body.
