Gun operation

Battery (39) is intentionally shipped with a
low charge. Charge battery prior to use.
• Refer to the battery charger operation
section for details.
CAUTION

The gun is equipped with software to
protect the motor. When a blocked bear-
ing, line, or grease fitting causes the gun
to stall, the software will cut power to
the motor and the LCD will illuminate
with solid red LED backlight. If this situ-
ation occurs, release the trigger
immediately.
For maximum motor life, avoid oper-
ating at stall.

Speed selection

The gun is equipped with a two speed elec-
tronic transmission to provide a high and low
flow rate, refer to specifications for perfor-
mance at each speed. The gun is in high
speed when "2" is shown on the slide switch
(50) († Fig. 1). Maximum pressure can be
achieved in both high (2) and low speed (1)
(† Fig. 1).

LCD functions

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) (46) fea-
tures an electronic grease meter, grease
level gauge, and battery level indicator. To
turn the LCD ON, tap the reset button (49)
one time († Fig. 1).
To enter reset mode, press and hold the
reset button. After 2 seconds the digits of the
grease meter begin to flash, unit of measure
(oz/g).
Releasing the reset button when grease
meter digits is flashing will reset the meter to
zero, releasing the button while the grease
cylinder level segments are flashing will
restore the gauge to full, and releasing the
button while the unit of measure is flashing
will change unit of measure.
Stall indication
During stall condition (in the case of a
clogged fitting or line) the gun will stop
pumping grease and the LCD display will be
illuminated with red backlight. If this condi-
tion occurs, release trigger immediately.
Inspect, clean, and/or fix the grease passage
before trying to dispense grease into the
system.
Loss of prime indication
Loss of prime occurs when there is an air
pocket in the grease or when the grease cyl-
inder is empty. When this occurs the LCD
screen will flash red to indicate that the gun
is not pumping grease. During loss of prime
the grease meter does not count empty pis-
ton strokes.

ton one time. If the LCD screen is not already
ON, two taps of the reset button would be
required to turn the flashlight ON.
To turn the flashlight OFF, simply tap the
reset button one time. The flashlight will
automatically turn OFF after 20 seconds
unless the trigger is operated to dispense
grease. If trigger is pressed to operate the
gun, the light will remain ON until 20 sec-
