Lubrication products are precision engineered tools, which are capable of creating pressures well above 10,000 PSI (690 BAR). Only professional use assures danger-free operation of these products.
Warning
:
Extreme pressure may cause nozzle extension or Grease Hose to burst. Always follow Grease Hose instructions and warnings. Keep hands clear of the extension during operation of the Grease Gun.
Be extra
careful while working with Needle point Grease Adapters and Dispensers. Keep your hands away from the Needle point at all times and when injecting Grease.
Maintain your equipment periodically and check before each use that all connections are securely fastened. High Working Pressures may result in liquid being injected into flesh upon malfunction of one of the
components. Only use components that show no indications of damage.
While working on the Grease Gun barrel, make certain that the open, threaded barrel-end always points away from yourself or others!
Never
touch a hose that is under pressure. Never point the outlet at yourself or others. Hoses are subject to rapid aging. Never use a hose that is older than 2 years. Hoses must never be bent or twisted with force. The
smallest bending radius for hose is 4” (100 mm). Seek immediate medical care after an injury.

WARNING: Failure to heed the following Warnings, including misuse, over pressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible chemicals and fluids,
or using worn or damaged parts, may result in equipment damage and/or serious personal injury, fire, explosion, or property damage.
LX-1160, Single Shot, Air Operated Grease Gun
LX-1160 is designed
as a ‘Single Shot’ Operation,
Air Operated Grease Gun
.
LX-1160 is designed to operate at maximum
incoming
Air Pressure of 40-90 PSI (3-6 Bar).
LX-1160 must not exceed Maximum
Operating Pressure of 3,000 PSI (205 Bar)
. High-pressure performance with 60-90 PSI (4-6 Bar)
incoming
Air Pressure allows the Grease Gun to deliver 2400 to 3000 PSI (40 : 1 ratio) of pressure into the desired
fitting. Lower
incoming
Air Pressure will reduce the performance of the Grease Gun, while
incoming
Air Pressure higher than the rated 90 PSI (6 Bar) will damage the internal components of the Grease Gun. Use
of higher
incoming
Air Pressure can also cause injury. Also, the use of higher
incoming
Air Pressure places the internal components under undue loads and stresses that they are not designed for, and could cause
premature Grease Gun failure.
DO NOT EXCEED
90 PSI (6 Bar)
incoming
Air Pressure
when using the rigid extension. DO NOT EXCEED 60 PSI (4 Bar) incoming
Air Pressure
when using a flexible extension.
Gun working pressure can exceed 3000 PSI (205 Bar) where incoming
Air Pressure
exceeds 60 PSI (4 Bar)
