Troubleshooting
Grease gun not dispensing grease.
Ensure the follower rod is fully engaged and pushing grease towards the pump. Check that the barrel is securely attached. Operate the pistol grip multiple times to prime the system. If using a cartridge, ensure the inner seal is pierced or removed. Check for air pockets by slightly loosening the barrel and allowing air to escape before re-tightening.
Grease leaking from the barrel seal.
Inspect the barrel seal and piston O-ring for damage or wear. Clean the seal area and re-seat the O-ring. If damaged, replace the O-ring or relevant seal parts.
Low pressure output.
Verify that the grease cartridge or bulk fill is not empty. Check for any blockages in the nozzle or hydraulic connector. Ensure the follower rod is properly engaged and creating sufficient pressure.
Difficulty attaching cartridge.
Ensure you are using a standard 3oz (94g) cartridge. Remove any plastic seals or protectors from the cartridge end if applicable. Make sure the follower rod is aligned correctly before reassembling the barrel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Loading a Cartridge: Remove the follower rod. Unscrew the main barrel. Insert a 3oz (94g) grease cartridge, ensuring the follower rod pushes the cartridge seal (if present). Reassemble the barrel and re-insert the follower rod.
Bulk Loading: Remove the follower rod and barrel. Fill the barrel with grease directly. Reassemble the barrel and re-insert the follower rod, pushing it firmly to prime the pump.
Nozzle Attachment: Choose your desired nozzle location (side or end) and securely thread the hydraulic connector into the chosen port.
Priming: Operate the pistol grip repeatedly until grease dispenses from the nozzle. You may need to use the follower rod to push grease towards the pump mechanism initially.
