FAQs

What type of grease can I use with this gun?

This grease gun is compatible with most standard greases available in cartridges or in bulk form. Always ensure the grease type is appropriate for the application (e.g., lithium-based, high-temperature).

How do I switch between cartridge and loose grease?

To use a cartridge, insert it directly into the barrel after removing the barrel end and follower plate. To use loose grease, pack the barrel with grease after removing the barrel end and follower plate, ensuring minimal air pockets.

What is the pressure rating of this grease gun?

The grease gun has a maximum pressure rating of 550 Bar, which is approximately 8,000 PSI.

How often should I clean the grease gun?

It is recommended to wipe down the exterior after each use. A more thorough internal cleaning might be needed if switching grease types or if the gun has been stored for an extended period.

What is the capacity of the grease gun?

The grease gun has a capacity of 500cc.

Is this grease gun suitable for home use?

Yes, it is suitable for home use, especially for vehicles, motorcycles, or machinery that require regular, heavy-duty lubrication. For very light or infrequent tasks, a smaller or lighter-duty model might also suffice.

Troubleshooting

Grease gun not dispensing grease.

Ensure the barrel is fully loaded and the follower plate is pushed firmly against the grease. Check that the air bleeder valve (if present) is closed and operate the lever to prime the system. Verify the cartridge is properly seated and the plastic seal has been removed.

Grease leaking from the barrel or head.

Check that the barrel is securely screwed onto the head. Inspect the follower plate seal and the barrel's internal seals for damage or wear. If damaged, they may need replacement.

Difficulty operating the lever.

The grease may be too stiff for the ambient temperature, or the lubrication point may have excessively high back pressure. Try warming the grease or the gun slightly. Ensure the gun is properly primed. Clean any obstructions from the grease fitting.

Air in the system, causing pulsing or no flow.

When loading loose grease or a new cartridge, air can become trapped. Operate the lever slowly and repeatedly to purge the air. Some models have a dedicated air bleeder valve to assist with this process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable varnished steel construction for professional use.
  • High pressure output (550 Bar) tackles difficult lubrication tasks.
  • Flexible loading options (cartridge or loose grease).
  • Large 500cc capacity reduces downtime for refills.
  • Provides controlled grease application via lever action.

Cons

  • Manual lever operation requires physical effort, especially for prolonged use.
  • Bulkier size (380mm) may be less maneuverable in very confined spaces.
  • Primarily suited for professional or heavy-duty DIY applications; may be overkill for light tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Loading Grease (Cartridge): Unscrew the barrel, remove the cartridge follower plate, insert a standard grease cartridge, remove the cartridge's plastic seal, and reassemble the follower plate and barrel.
  2. Loading Grease (Loose): Unscrew the barrel, remove the follower plate, pack the barrel with loose grease, ensuring no air pockets, and reassemble.
  3. Priming: Operate the lever several times until grease is expelled from the nozzle, indicating the system is primed and ready for use.

Compatibility:

  • This grease gun is compatible with standard 14oz (approx. 400g) grease cartridges.
  • It also accepts bulk or loose grease, providing flexibility.
  • Designed for standard grease fittings found on most vehicles and machinery.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a clean, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments. Ensure the follower plate is engaged but not under excessive pressure when stored.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the follower plate and seals for wear. Lubricate the pump mechanism occasionally if operation becomes stiff.
