Systems which will be dispensing fluids
under pressure may need to be protect-
ed by using a thermal relief kit, which
will safely limit the pressures caused by
thermal expansion. Please contact your
local Lincoln distributor and refer to
Service Page Section K5, Page 31 for
more details. Failure to include thermal
relief protection may cause damage not
covered under Lincoln’s warranty policy.

General
The Lincoln electronic lube meter is
designed spe cifically to dispense motor oils
(SAE 5-50), gear oils (SAE 80-240), auto-
matic transmission fluid, antifreeze (Ethyl-
ene glycol), brake fluid, engine cool ant, and
windshield wiper fluid solutions. Modular
design, low cost, lightweight and rugged
design make the model 981 the best choice
for overhead reel systems.
The electronic register mo dule contains
a micro processor powered by a lithium bat-
tery. It can be pro grammed to dispense in
pints, quarts, liters, or gal lons and will total-
ize in liters or gallons. The meter calibration
factor is determined during factory test. The
meter can be recalibrated in the field for flu-
ids of different viscosity. A six-digit liquid
crystal display, accurate to the second deci-
mal place, shows the exact amount of fluid
dispensed. The electronic-register, module
housing is made of shock-resistant nylon
that is protected by a rubber boot to handle
the harshest of environments.
Please ensure that all fluid is properly
filtered before it enters the meter.
Foreign particles in the meter could
cause inaccurate meter readings, and
could possibly damage the meter.

Operation
As fluid passes through the metering cham-
ber by entering the inlet port, it forces the
internal gears to rotate and exits through
the outlet port. Each rotation of the gear
displaces a given volume of fluid.
The display shows the amount of fluid
dispensed since the last time the reset but-
ton was pushed. Pushing the reset button
will reset the display to zero for the next
dispense.
To change the unit of measure:
1
Press the TOTAL button three times, fol-
lowed by the RESET button three times
within a time frame of two seconds. The
active unit of measure symbol begins
flashing, indicating that you are in pro-
gramming mode.
2
Press the RESET button repeatedly until
the desired unit of measure appears
flashing in the display.
3
Simultaneously press and hold the RESET
button and the TOTAL button for about
three seconds to enter the new unit of
measure and exit programming mode.
Meter is not for resale measurement of fluid.
