Read and carefully observe these operating instructions

before unpacking and operating the Air Grease Gun. The gun 

must be operated, maintained and repaired exclusively by a 

person familiar with the operation instructions. Operate the 

gun only after safety instructions and this operation manual 

are fully understood.  

This grease gun generates high grease pressure. Extreme 

caution should be used when operating the gun as material 

leaks from loose and ruptured components can inject fluid 

through the skin and into the body causing serious bodily 

injury.  Adequate protection is recommended to prevent splash-

ing of material onto the skin or into the eyes. 

1.  Always wear eye protection. The Air Grease Gun can

  generate up to 6,000 Psig (414 Bar)

2.  Use only Lincoln P/N 1218, 1224, 1230 or 1236 outlet

  whip hoses. Grease injection injuries are a very serious

  injury.  Hold the hose only in the area of the spring guard.

3.  Avoid accidental starting. Be sure trigger is not 

  depressed when attaching inlet air hose.

4.  Do not bend the hose in small radii.

5.  Replace the hose at the first sign of wear, kink or

  damage to the outside jacket. 

1.  Attach high pressure grease hose and coupler, (1) to outlet 

in the head (5).  Copper gasket must be used to seal hose 

thread to head.  Tighten securely.

2.  Attach air coupler nipple (21) to port in bottom of handle (6) 

and tighten securely.

3.  Fill grease container (See appropriate section of manual for 

various options).

4.  Prime grease gun by operating slowly until grease flows from 

coupler (2).  See Operation section for detailed priming proce-

dure.

5.  Adjust air pressure to grease gun as required, and gun is now 

ready for use.

6.  Disconnect air supply to grease gun when not in use.

Lincoln Air Operated Grease Gun is fully pneumatic 

operational and automatic unit. The gun was developed for 

manual lubrication of the grease points and has ability to stall in 

case of a blocked bearing, fitting or lubrication line. The gun is a 

positive displacement single action pump that delivers lubricant 

each time the plunger (13) moves forward.

The gun features a throttling trigger valve.  A slight pull of the 

trigger (8) will cause the gun to operate slowly.  As more finger 

force is applied to the trigger, the speed of the gun will gradually 

increase until maximum speed is reached with the trigger fully 

pulled.  The maximum speed of the gun is limited to reduce the 

problems associated with dispensing lubricant too quickly, such 

as damaging bearing seals or dust boots.

The gun operates when the trigger (8) is depressed.  Air is admit-

ted to Chamber A (see Fig 1.) and pushes the piston (7) with the 

plunger (13) to the left. Vent valve B is closed. The grease, under 

pressure from plunger (13), opens the check valve (3) and deliv-

ers one shot of the lubricant. 

When the piston (7) reaches the bypass groove C (see Fig. 2) air 

is admitted into chamber D and opens the vent valve B. The air 

pressure from chamber A  is vented through valve B  and vent 

holes E to the chamber F which communicates with the atmo-

sphere through the hole G. The air pressure is equalized on both 

sides of the piston (7) and the force of the spring (12) will return 

the piston to the initial position, recharging the gun (see Fig 1). 

Vent valve B will be closed and air from chamber D is vented 

through the bypass groove C to the atmosphere.  The cycle 

repeats in the same manner while the trigger is depressed.

Grease gun can develop high pressure - up to 6,000 Psig

(414 Bar).  Use safety glasses and gloves for protection

during operation. Keep hands clear of the exposed rubber 

portion of hose.

Extreme pressure may cause whip hose to burst. 

Use only LINCOLN APPROVED hoses and follow the hose 

instructions and warnings. 

If any fluid appears to penetrate the skin, get emergency 

medical immediately. Do not treat as a simple cut. Tell at-

tending physician exactly what fluid was injected
