FAQs
What size grease cartridges does this gun use?
This grease gun accepts standard 400g (approx. 14.1 oz) grease cartridges.
Can I fill this grease gun directly with bulk grease?
Yes, the 0.5-litre capacity barrel can be filled directly with bulk grease instead of using a cartridge.
What is the purpose of the bleed valve?
The bleed valve allows you to release trapped air from the grease gun system, ensuring consistent grease flow and easier operation.
How do I attach the hoses?
The hoses screw directly onto the grease gun head. Ensure they are tightened securely before use.
Is this grease gun suitable for industrial use?
Yes, its heavy-duty construction and lever pump action make it suitable for demanding, frequent use in various applications.
What is the difference between the solid and flexible hoses?
The solid hose is best for straightforward access, while the flexible hose allows you to reach awkward or recessed lubrication points.
Troubleshooting
Grease gun not dispensing grease
Ensure the lever is fully engaged and the bleed valve is closed. Check that the cartridge or bulk fill is properly seated and that there is no air in the system. Try operating the bleed valve briefly to release trapped air.
Grease leaking from the pump head
Check that the main body is screwed on tightly. Inspect the plunger seal for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the cartridge is not damaged.
Difficulty operating the lever
The grease may be too stiff for the ambient temperature. Try warming the grease gun slightly. Ensure the bleed valve is fully closed. If using a cartridge, check that it is correctly installed and not obstructed.
Air in the system (spluttering or no grease)
Fully extend the lever to disengage the follower rod. Push the lever firmly to expel air via the bleed valve. Once grease flows, close the bleed valve.
