AIR SUPPLY

Recommended hook-up is shown in (fig.1).
Ensure that the trigger is in the OFF position when connecting to the air supply.
- WARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and is between 60-150psi. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the life of the gun due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the gun.
Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose size should be 1/4” internal diameter and fittings must have compatible dimensions.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.

OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.

PRIMING THE GREASE GUN
Before loading the grease gun with a cartridge or filling via a grease bucket, it is ideal to prime the gun.
To prime the gun simply pack grease into the cavity located at the entrance of the gun assembly (where the grease tube screws into the gun) and operate the trigger, this will induce the intake of grease into the gun assembly.

LOADING WITH FILLER PUMP (fig.2)

Fully draw back the plunger handle.
Insert bulk loader valve (fig.3) into filler pump socket.

If you encounter air pockets during operation simply exert force on the plunger, press the air vent valve (fig.3) and operate trigger in short, sharp bursts until grease begins to flow from the nozzle.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Disconnect gun from air supply before performing maintenance.

Lubricate the air tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil such as Sealey ATO/500 or ATO/1000. If the compressed air system has no oiler, a few drops of oil can be poured into the air inlet of the gun each day.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

NOTE: Faults in the compressed air system may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connectors of incorrect size may reduce the air supply. NOTE: If the SA401.V3 is used with cartridges for a long period, it is possible that the rubber plunger may become damaged. If it is then used with manual or bulk filling systems, the plunger may allow grease to seep from the bottom of the grease tube. To prevent this happening, check the condition of the rubber plunger, and if worn, replace before using a different fill method.
