THE GREASE GUN

Unscrew cap, withdraw plunger, and fill barrel with grease by means of the special scoop. Use Daimler Chassis Grease or best ball bearing grease. Do not use ordinary yellow grease.

Screw connector onto nipple, and inject grease by turning the main handle. (N.B. The nipple lifts a valve in the connector and grease will not flow until this valve is lifted.)

Extra pressure can be obtained when necessary by using the intensifier, but before using the intensifier the main handle must be released a few turns.
