WARNING! Disconnect gun from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or

performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.

Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

5.1. 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.

5.2. 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.

Grit or gum deposits in the tool will reduce power and may be removed by flushing out the

gun with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE 10 oil and kerosene.

6. TROUbLESHOOTING

WARNING! If the gun fails to work properly, it may be due to air pockets in the grease.

To remove the air, unscrew the gun head 1 to 1½ turns and perform the following:

6.1. Draw back the plunger rod fully and release quickly. Repeat several times. This will exert

the force required to move the plunger into the cartridge (which is essential for the grease

gun to work).

Push the plunger rod all the way in.

Tighten the head to the barrel.

6.2. Press the air vent valve several times to free the air.

Note: If the SA40 is used with cartridges for a long period, it is possible

that the rubber plunger (15) may be damaged. If it is, then if used with

dispenser or bulk filling, the plunger may allow grease to seep from the

bottom of the container tube (18). To prevent this happening, use only

one type of fill method for each gun.
