In order for the pump to actually pump track roller grease the lever needs to be held, that means the cable would be hooked in such a way to keep the grease from recycling. This was meant to quickly release pressure against the track roller seals.
In operation one would pump very easy feeling for resistance, then let go of the lever and continue placing the pump lever down. Then take a screwdriver or some pointed object and release pressure in the roller bearing cage by depressing the button in the grease zerk(?).

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
