Troubleshooting
Grease gun not dispensing grease
Check battery charge and connection. Ensure the cartridge is properly seated or the bulk fill chamber is adequately loaded. Verify the pressure release valve is closed. Clear any potential blockages in the hose or nozzle.
Low pressure output
Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check for air leaks in the system. Clean any filters or the intake if bulk filling. Verify the adjustable flow rate dial is not set too low for the application.
Grease leaking from the hose connection
Tighten the hose connection securely. Inspect the hose for cracks or damage. Ensure the sealing O-rings are present and in good condition.
Difficulty changing cartridges
Ensure the pressure release valve is fully opened to relieve system pressure before attempting to unscrew the barrel or remove the cartridge.
