To operate your H0580 grease gun:
1.Connect the grease gun to compressed air regulated at a pressure between 30 and 100 PSI.
Note: For quick connection type air fittings, a 1/4" NPT female plug is needed (sold sepa- rately.)
2..Wipe all fittings clean with a shop towel.
3..Pull grease gun trigger once or twice to purge the coupler of any contaminates or old grease.

5..Pull the trigger to inject grease.
6..After lubricating, turn the coupler at a slight angle to release it from the fitting.
NOTICE
Some mechanical systems may only require a small amount of grease, while others require much more.. Understand the lubri- cation requirements of the part you are lubricating.. Failure to follow this instruction can damage seals or
