inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

CLEANING CONTAMINANTS FROM THE GREASE GUN
Cleaning Contamination from the Check Valve (Fig. 12)
Should the grease gun fail to
dispense grease, the check valve
(Y) should be cleaned.
1. Remove the check valve
plug (BB), then the disc (EE),
spring (DD) and check valve
ball (CC).
2. Clean the ball (CC) and the
check valve area in the main
casting.
3. Reinstall the ball (CC), the spring (DD), and then the disc (EE).
4. After all grease is cleaned from the area, reinstall the check valve
plug (BB).
Cleaning Contamination from the Filter (Fig. 2, 13)
Should the grease gun fail to dispense
grease, clean the filter (V).
NOTE: If there is still grease in the tube,
open the purge valve prior to pulling the
tube handle.
1. Pull the grease tube handle (L) out
as far as it will go, then secure
the grease tube rod (M) into the
retaining slot (O) by moving the rod
to the side. Ensure the rod is placed
securely in the slot to prevent it from
