Grease Nipple
When lubricating the sprayer, please use a grease gun that fit the
dimensions of the grease nipples.
μ
ATTENTION! If grease is leaking from the nipple near its threaded
part, when grease is being applied, please tighten the nipple by
using a spanner or similar. If damaged or bent out of shape,
replace the nipple.
μ
ATTENTION! If applying grease into the nipple seems difficult, unscrew the nipple. Check for blocking inside the
nipple, or if the spring-loaded ball is stuck. Clean or repair as needed.
Grease Gun Calibration
Before lubricating the sprayer, you must calibrate your grease gun to ensure applying the correct quantity of grease to each
lubrication point. The correct quantity of grease applied will prolong the lifetime of the sprayer.
Calibration Example
1. Insert the correct grease cartridge in your grease gun.
2. Apply grease onto a tissue or a piece of paper. Complete 10 full
strokes of the grease gun.
3. Place the paper with grease on a scale (A).
4. If your grease pile weighs e.g. 10 grams, then 1 stroke equals 1
gram of grease.
When calibrated, you can count how many strokes to complete, when
lubricating the different grease points on the sprayer according to the
specifications.
Alternative Method
1. Count the strokes, until you have 10 grams of grease piled up on
the scale (A).
2. Now you can figure out how many strokes to use for applying a
certain amount of grease to a lubrication point.
