Description
The Procat oil can with fixed spout is a 350 ml metal oil can with a thumb-operated lever pump and a rigid 145 mm metal spout. It dispenses lubricating oil drop by drop or in a thin stream straight to the lubrication point. The rigid spout holds its direction and reaches deep into tight spaces.
The reservoir holds 350 ml. The body is red-painted metal. On top of the lid is a metal pump lever, and next to it is the pump outlet tube that the spout attaches to. The handle is a strip of red-painted metal that curves along the side of the can.
You hold the can by the handle in one hand and press the pump lever with the thumb of the same hand. Each press feeds oil into the spout, so you control the amount by the number of presses. There is no need to tilt the can.
The spout is a 145 mm long metal tube, fastened to the pump outlet tube with a hex nut. The tube curves gently near the tip. The small hole in the tapered tip directs the oil into a narrow stream.
Intended use and suitability:
The oil can is designed for dispensing lubricating oil in small, controlled amounts. The rigid 145 mm spout stays pointed in the direction you aim it, so you can get oil deep inside a structure without taking it apart.
- Machinery: Oiling sliding surfaces, joints and lubrication holes in machines and equipment. The spout tip goes straight to the lubrication point, so no oil runs onto the surrounding surfaces.
- Hinges: Lubricating the hinges of doors, gates and hatches. A few drops are enough. Wipe off any excess oil.
- Chains: Lubricating chain links. Apply oil to the links while moving the chain slowly.
- Bearings: Oiling open bearings and bushings. The rigid tube reaches the lubrication point through narrow openings.
- Tools: Lubricating the joints and threads of pliers, scissors, vices and other hand tools, and applying a thin film of oil to metal surfaces for storage.

How to use the Procat oil can with fixed spout:

- Remove the protective cap from the end of the pump outlet tube.
- Fit the spout onto the outlet tube and tighten the hex nut.
- Check that the spout is firmly in place and the connection does not wobble.
Use:
- Hold the can by the handle so that your thumb reaches the pump lever.
- Bring the spout tip to the lubrication point.
- Press the lever with your thumb. The first time you use the can, pump the lever a few times until oil comes out of the tip.
- Dispense the oil drop by drop and check the result. Wipe off any excess oil.
Maintenance and storage:
- Store the can upright.
- Wipe the spout tip clean after use.
- Check from time to time that the hex nut is tight.
Warnings:
- Children: Keep the can and the oil out of the reach of children.
- Oil safety: Follow the label and the safety data sheet of the oil you use.
- Risk of slipping: Wipe up any oil spilled on the floor or work surface immediately.
- Tight connection: Before pumping, check that the hex nut of the spout is tightened. A loose connection may leak.
- Direction: Do not point the spout tip at your face or at other people while pumping.
- Moving parts: Lubricate machines only when they are stopped and disconnected from the power supply.
- Rigid spout: Do not use the spout as a lever or a scraper. A bent or flattened tube can block the flow of oil.
