Troubleshooting
Pump is not drawing grease
Ensure the follower plate is correctly seated and making contact with the grease. Check that the pump is properly sealed to the keg and there are no air leaks. Operate the pump handle more vigorously to initiate suction.
Grease flow is inconsistent or sputtering
Air may be entering the system. Ensure the follower plate is adequately covering the grease surface. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hose. Clean the pump's intake if necessary.
Hose or fittings are leaking
Inspect the hose and all connection points for damage or wear. Tighten any loose fittings. If the hose is damaged, replace it with a compatible 1.5m hose.
Pump handle is difficult to operate
Check that the grease is not too cold or stiff; warming the keg slightly may help. Ensure the follower plate is not binding. Clean any debris from the pump mechanism.
