2-6. OPERATION OF AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

Suction Gun (1). You can use the suction gun to empty or fill transmissions, differentials, or any part of a

vehicle that requires emptying, other than by draining through a bottom outlet. Fill the suction gun by

inserting the nozzle into the oil or fluid. Pull out the handle as far as it will go. When you use the suction gun

for filling purposes, it is operated by inserting the nozzle in the oil hole. Push the handle forward until a

sufficient quantity of oil has been delivered. When you use the suction gun for draining purposes, it is

operated by inserting the nozzle into the drain hole of the housing. Pull out the suction gun handle as far as

it will go, and a gun full of fluid can be removed. To empty, you must remove the nozzle from the drain hole

and push in the handle as far as it will go.

Hacksaw Frame and Blade (2). The hacksaw frame and blade, for use in cutting hose when replacing

reusable hose and fittings.

Hand Lever Grease Gun (3). Use the high-pressure hand lever gun for dispensing lubricants in small

quantities, or for dispensing special lubricants. When you operate the hand lever gun, you will get best

results by taking full strokes with the lever handle. If you are using a heavy lubricant, it may be necessary to

prime the lever gun occasionally. Special couplers and adapters provide adaptation to all types of fittings.

To fill the lever gun, proceed as follows:

(1)

Unscrew head and lever from cylinder.

(2)

Engage follower and push into a full stop.

(3)

Place open end of the cylinder into lubricant approximately 2 inches.

(4)

If barrel is not completely full, pack tightly by hand to eliminate air pockets.
