Default Help with head - Peggy???

So, assuming I misremember (happens more and more lately), where,
exactly, do I put this heavy squirt? As I (think I) understand how
this thing works, if I were to take it off the base as I did, and
merely put a large dollop of the grease in it, reassemble, and pump
away, it would immediately go out the joker, other than that which
managed to scrape against the sides.


Here's what Raritan says:

"Remove the pump from the base, pull the piston all the way up, then
smear the grease all around the pump cylinder, beneath the piston.
Sure, some it it will be forced out through the joker valve, but
there's no other way to lubricate it. No, you don't have to ids-
assemble the pump (although, to some people, just removing the pump
from the base might be considering disassembling the head. )"
