DH says that before he ever puts the cartridge in the grease gun he smacks it on the workbench a few times and then periodically while using it. He said he noticed more problems with the cartridges that he buys that were laying on their sides in the store and not as much trouble with the ones that are stored sitting up.

If this works, I owe you a pizza and all the beer you can drink.

The backhoe requires almost daily maintenance depending on hours
used. The grease gun air pockets have been a constant irritation. The
manufacturer instructions say to engage the follower, unscrew the
body up to a full turn and let the plunger push the air out. Hah!
After doing that several times with no change I highly desire a
direct line to the president of the company.
