IMPORTANT:
LX-1160 is designed
as a 'Single Shot' Operation,
pressure if user attempts 'Rapid Fire' Operation. Depressing the trigger partially open can result in an air leak around the trigger stem. Connect the external air source to the gun and adjust the incoming air pressure
correctly for the selected rigid or flexible extension and the selected equipment grease fitting lubrication point.
Note: If gun fails to operate, you are probably experiencing Air Pockets. Air Pockets in the Barrel or Head Assembly will prevent the gun from priming and will affect performance.
WARNING:
Always use Clean, Dry Air. Excessive Moisture and Dirt will greatly reduce the life of the air motor.

of correct size and tightly secured. An automatic in-line Lubricator increases the life of your Grease Gun and keeps it in sustained operational condition. The Lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air
tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line Lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The Lubricator is properly set when a
light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the Grease Gun for an extended period of time, it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The Grease Gun should be run for approximately 30
seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the Grease Gun. The Grease Gun should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
IMPORTANT: The air cylinder is to be oiled daily with an air tool or equivalent oil. This procedure will increase air piston life and reduce unwarranted down time.

Air Pressure allows the Grease Gun to deliver 4000 to 6000 PSI of pressure into the desired fitting. Lower
Air Pressure higher than the rated 90 PSI (6 Bar) will damage the internal components of the Grease Gun. Use of higher

GREASE FILLING: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: The Grease Gun can use a Lubricant Cartridge or be filled with Grease from Bulk Container or with a Filler Pump. Refer to Grease Filling Instructions, below. Wipe
grease fittings clean before lubricating. Remove any old grease and/or dirt that might get into the equipment to be Lubricated. Push coupler onto grease fitting at a slight angle (the coupler attaches easier at a slight
angle than when centered). Center coupler on the grease fitting. Operate lever handle to lubricate, taking care not to damage seals by excessive pressure or lubricant volume. After lubricating, turn the coupler at a
slight angle to release the grip of coupler jaws from the grease fitting.

A. HOW TO SUCTION LOAD YOUR GREASE GUN:
1. Unscrew the Head Assembly from the barrel of the Grease Gun (See Figure 1). Pack head with Grease (See Figure 2).
2. Insert the open end of the barrel below the surface of the Grease (See Figure 3).
3. Slowly pull the Plunger Rod (Follower-rod) while pushing the barrel deeper into the Grease to prevent air pockets
from being pulled into the barrel.
4. When the rod is fully extended, the Plunger Rod locks into place with posi-stop Plunger Lock.
5. Screw the Head Assembly onto the barrel. Tighten the Head Assembly securely (See Figure 4).
6. Unlock the Plunger Rod from the end cap, by releasing the Plunger Lock. This would push the Plunger Rod into the barrel.
7. Prime the gun (Priming is the act of removing air and introducing Grease into the Grease Gun's pumping mechanism).
When filling the Grease Gun, it is very important to prevent air pockets and to purge any air that may be trapped in the barrel.
Caution: Air pockets in the lubricant will cause the Lever Grease Gun to lose its prime. Prime the Grease Gun while
pressing the Air Bleeder Valve to vent Air Pockets in the Grease Chamber.
B. HOW TO BULK-LOAD YOUR GREASE GUN USING A GREASE FILLER PUMP:
This procedure applies to all Lumax Grease Guns (except LX-1100 and LX-1112). All Lumax Grease Guns are equipped
(except LX-1100 and LX-1112) with a Filler Nipple (Bulk-loader Fitting) on the head. CAUTION: The Filler Nipple on the
Grease Gun must mate with the Loader Coupler on the Pump. The Pump may not operate if the components are not compatible.
WARNING: The Grease Gun is equipped with a low-pressure Filler Nipple. Do not substitute with a high-pressure Grease Fitting.
Personal injury can occur due to excessive pressure. The use of a Grease Fitting will also void the warranty.
1. Wipe the Filler Nipple with a clean cloth.
2. Push the Plunger Rod (Follower-rod) all the way into the barrel of the Grease Gun.
3. Insert the Filler Nipple into the Loader Coupler on the Pump and extend the lever handle away from the barrel (See Figure 5).
4. Operate the pump until the Grease Gun barrel is full of Grease. The Plunger Rod will be fully extended when the barrel is full.
5. Remove the Filler Nipple from the Loader Coupler on the Pump.
6. Unlock the Plunger Rod from the end cap, by releasing the Plunger Lock. This would push the Plunger Rod into the barrel.
7. See Point A (7), above.
