HOW TO PURGE AIR FROM A GREASE GUN
Airlocks are a common occurrence in grease guns, and often happen after a new cartridge is inserted. If you don’t know how to fix an airlock, you might think your tool is broken or malfunctioning.
Luckily, fixing one is straightforward, and with just a couple of adjustments, you’ll have your grease gun back working in under a minute.
Step 1
If you’ve just installed a new cartridge and your gun is not dispensing any liquid, simply turn the cartridge anticlockwise 2-3 times. This will help to get rid of the trapped air from the top of the tube.
Step 2
With the tube still loosened, pump the handle in and out until grease is released.
Step 3
With the handle compressed and held in, tighten the tube back up and your grease gun should be good to go, with the airlock gone.
