How do you get air out of a grease gun?

In order to get air out of a grease gun, you have to follow a few steps.

  • 2. Next you want to pull the plunger back and lock it with the end of the cap.
  • 3. Once locked in, completely tighten the grease gun head onto the cylinder.
  • 4. Have the grease gun in an open position and disconnect the plunger rod from the end cap while rotating the rod. The notch that towards the end of the plunger should unlock at the opening of the steel cap. Make sure that you lock the plunger into the rod.
  • 5. Push the plunger rod inside the cylinder while keeping the air release valve pressed. If the rod goes in easily, it is not locked. Repeat until all trapped air is released.
  • 6. Now rotate the plunger rod again to disconnect it from the plunger and push it inside the grease gun cylinder. Once you do this, start to operate the grease gun and grease will begin to come out. make sure you let it flow out until you see bubbles.
