What to do if Lincoln 1162 gun cycles but doesn’t pump grease?
If your Lincoln Tools grease gun cycles but doesn't pump grease, first repeat the priming operation. Then, check that the container has grease. If prime is not achieved after 10-15 seconds of operation, disconnect the extension hose or rigid extension and cycle the gun until grease flows from the outlet.
Why Lincoln 1162 gun doesn’t operate automatically?
If your Lincoln Tools gun doesn't operate automatically, it could be due to low air pressure. Check the air pressure supply and ensure it's higher than 40 psi. Alternatively, the piston might be stuck. Try disconnecting the air supply hose and hold until the spring retracts the piston back and cycle the gun. If it still doesn’t operate, disassemble the gun, inspect for damage, and replace the piston if necessary.
Why Lincoln 1162 gun doesn’t operate?
There are several reasons why your Lincoln Tools gun might not be operating. It could be due to no inlet air pressure, so connect the air supply. The piston might be stuck, requiring disassembly and inspection for damage. The air pressure could be too low; check the air pressure supply and ensure it is higher than 40 psi. Finally, a broken return spring could be the cause, necessitating replacement.
What to do if Lincoln 1162 gun continues to lose prime?
If your Lincoln Tools grease gun continues to lose prime, it could be due to air trapped in the container after bulk filling. Try emptying the container, refilling it, and repeating the priming process. Another cause might be the follower lips being positioned incorrectly; in this case, refer to the paragraph on the container tube. Finally, the ball check valve might not be functioning; disassemble the check valve, remove the ball, and clean and inspect the ball seat area.
