Product description
With your inquiry you submitted a leaflet describing the G.Gun lubricating machine. The G.Gun is a portable appliance designed for the lubrication of agricultural, construction, and mining equipment. It basically consists of a round metal drum with a removable lid, a hinged handle, a foot-operated, two-stage self priming pump, and a two or three meter length of rubber hose. A fitting on the end of the hose allows it to be attached to a grease nipple. The tank is capable of holding from four to eight kilograms of grease which is manually dispensed from the unit by means of the positive displacement piston pump. The G.Gun stands 15 inches high and delivers three milliliters of grease per stroke. We assume the G.Gun will be imported without any grease in its tank.
