HANDLING GREASE GUN 3
When using the Komatsu genuine greasing gun, follow the procedure given below.
1. Pull chain (3) and lock it in the groove of grease cylinder (1).
2. Twist grease cylinder (1) back and remove it from body (2).
3. Remove cap (5) of grease cartridge (4), then screw it into body (2).
NOTICE
When not using grease cartridge (4), charge grease cylinder (1) directly with grease. When doing this, be
careful not to let air or dirt get into the grease cylinder.
4. Install grease cylinder (1) to body (2).
5. Release the lock of chain (3), then stow inside grease cylinder (1).
6. Pump lever (6) up and down and 2 or 3 times and check that grease comes out from the tip of nozzle (7).
REMARK
When using grease cylinder (1) directly charged with grease, the grease may not come out easily even when the
lever is operated. This problem is caused by an air pocket in the grease, so loosen grease cylinder (1) 1 or 2 turns
to release the air.
