How to Use a Grease Gun
- 1). Remove the barrel from the handle by unscrewing it counter clockwise. The barrel holds the grease.
- 2). Line up the opening of the barrel with the center of a tub of grease. Make sure the plunger is all the way inside the barrel.
- 3). Push the barrel into the grease while pulling back on the plunger. The suction will force the grease into the barrel.
- 4). Wipe off the end of the barrel after it is full, and screw it back onto the handle.
- 5). Pump the trigger a few times to get the grease started, just as you would a pump lotion or soap. Once you create a stream of grease, you can apply it to the needed parts.
