Preparing Your Roller Packa for Use:

	Place retaining clip on base of cartridge. (14oz / 400gm Packa only)

	Slide the blue sleeve over the cartridge.
	Insert the Piston into the cartridge and screw the yellow cap onto the blue tube.
	Your Packa is ready to go!
	TIP: Don't discard the used 450g grease cartridge: it is perfect as a replacement cylinder liner for your Roller Cleaner 1.

To Grease a Bearing Using the Cone Plug Method

	Invert the Packa and on the workbench.
	Remove the blue end cap and blue cone plug.

	Place the bearing and the cone inside the Packa as shown.
	Apply downward pressure ONLY on the blue cone, until bearing is greased sufficiently.
	Lift the bearing out using the blue cone plug and repeat for each bearing.
	When all bearings have been packed, use one finger to remove the grease from the yellow cone, and use the grease to pack the bearing hub.
	Place the blue cone plug back into the yellow cone to seal the Packa.
	Return the end cap for clean storage, or...
	...return the Packa to the Shelf and Plate Holder.

To Grease a Bearing Using the Plate Plug Method

(Used for larger 4x4, aircraft and light truck / commercial vehicle wheel roller bearings)

	Invert the Packa and on the workbench.
	Select a plate to suit the bearing from the four plates supplied with the Packa. NOTE: Plate must fit as shown, blanking off the axle base whilst keeping cage unobstructed,
	Place the plate and bearing into the yellow cone. Clamp fingers firmly against yellow cone as shown.
	Apply pressure with thumbs to inner race of the bearing. The plate will rise on the grease. Take care to ensure the plate is centered, adjust if necessary.
	Whilst holding this clamping force, press the entire Packa downwards until the bearing is adequately greased.
	Lift the bearing out of the cone for fitment.
	When all bearings have been packed, remove the plate, and the grease off into the outer cone.
	Place plates on Storage System. Residual grease will keep plates in place and keep dust away from plate surface.
