American Forge & Foundry Cold Weather Grease Gun (8004)

The American Forge & Foundry Cold Weather Grease Gun (8004) is engineered to provide reliable lubrication for a wide range of machinery and vehicles, even in challenging cold weather conditions. This professional-grade tool features a thoughtful design that addresses common issues like lost prime in low temperatures, making it a dependable choice for mechanics, fleet managers, and maintenance crews. With its 7,500 PSI output and versatile loading options, the 8004 model ensures that you can perform critical lubrication tasks with precision and efficiency. Its robust construction and ergonomic design provide a comfortable and effective tool for any job, from routine vehicle maintenance to heavy equipment servicing.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Designed for Cold Weather: A large grease inlet with unique venturi action helps maintain prime and prevent air pockets, ensuring the gun functions properly and consistently even in freezing conditions.
• Versatile Loading: Offers three-way loading options: standard 14 oz. grease cartridges, bulk fill, or suction fill. A double-lipped follower allows for seamless transition between cartridge and bulk filling without adjustments.
• High-Pressure Output: With a maximum output of 7,500 PSI, this tool provides the pressure needed to properly lubricate tough-to-reach fittings and components, effectively pushing out old grease and contaminants.
• Built-in Air Bleeder: The head includes a unique bulk loader that doubles as an air bleeder valve, helping to quickly and easily remove trapped air for smooth and continuous grease flow.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Model Number: 8004
• Capacity: 14 oz. (cartridge) or 500cc (bulk fill)
• Pressure: 7,500 PSI
• Shipping Weight: 3.5 lbs.

HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Grease Gun: Unscrew the grease gun head from the barrel. Pull the plunger rod all the way back until it locks into place.
• Load the Grease:
  • For Cartridge Loading: Remove the plastic cap from both ends of the new 14 oz. grease cartridge and insert it into the barrel.
  • For Bulk Loading: Use a spatula or grease pump to fill the barrel with bulk grease, or use the suction method by placing the open end of the barrel into a container of grease and pulling the handle back.
• Secure and Prime: Screw the head back onto the barrel until secure. Release the plunger rod and press the air bleeder valve to remove trapped air.
• Connect and Apply: Attach the 4-jaw coupler to the zerk fitting. Pump the pistol grip handle until grease flows and old grease is purged.
• Remove the Coupler: Twist and pull the coupler away from the fitting once lubrication is complete.
