6 - Maintenance120Grease NippleWhen lubricating the sprayer, please use a greasing gun which fits thedimensions of the grease nipples. ATTENTION! If grease is leaking from the nipple near its threadedpart, when grease is being applied, please tighten the nipple byusing a spanner or similar. Replace the nipple, if it is damaged orbent out of shape. ATTENTION! If applying grease into the nipple seems difficult,unscrew the nipple. Check if the nipple is blocked inside, or if thespring-loaded ball is stuck. Clean or repair as needed.Grease Gun CalibrationBefore lubricating the sprayer, you must calibrate your grease gun to ensure that the correct amount of grease is applied toeach lubrication point. The correct amount of grease applied will prolong the lifetime of the sprayer.Calibration example1. Insert the correct grease cartridge in your grease gun.2. Apply grease onto a tissue or a piece of paper. Complete 10 fullstrokes of the grease gun.3. Place the paper with grease on a scale (A).4. If your grease pile weighs e. g. 10 grams, then 1 stroke equals 1gram of grease.When calibrated, you can count how many strokes to complete, whenlubricating the different grease points on the sprayer according to thespecifications.Alternative method1. Count the strokes, until you have 10 grams of grease piled up onthe scale (A).2. Now you can figure out how many strokes to use for applying acertain amount of grease to a lubrication point.Nipple head type: DIN 71412Nipple head size (A): 6.5 mmA
