956 - MaintenanceGrease Gun CalibrationBefore lubricating the sprayer, you must calibrate your grease gun to ensure that the correct amount of grease is appliedto each 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.4. If your grease pile weighs for example 10 grams (A), then 1stroke equals 1 gram 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 upon the scale (A).2. Now you can figure out how many strokes to use for applying acertain amount of grease to a lubrication point.Greasing the PumpThe pump is greased as follows:1. Factory greased:300 g grease into each lubrication point (A).2. Normal operation:MUST be greased every 50 hours with 30 g grease into eachlubrication point (A).3. After disassembling the pump (diaphragm renewal, etc.):MUST be greased with 200 g grease into each lubrication point(A).ATTENTION! In order to avoid excessive wear it is important touse a recommended lubricant! See “Recommended lubricants”on page 4.ATTENTION! The pump MUST be stopped during greasing!A10xA A
