Indledning
The Lincoln 5803 Needle Nozzle is designed to facilitate the lubrication of flush-type or hard-to-reach hydraulic fittings. This accessory is compatible with any hand-held grease gun featuring a standard 1/8 inch NPT (male) thread size, providing a precise method for grease application in confined or recessed areas.
Sikkerhedsoplysninger
Always observe the following safety precautions when using the Lincoln 5803 Needle Nozzle and associated grease equipment:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, to protect against grease exposure and potential high-pressure spray.
- Ensure the grease gun is depressurized before attaching or detaching the needle nozzle.
- Do not exceed the maximum pressure rating of your grease gun or the fitting being lubricated.
- Keep hands and other body parts clear of the nozzle tip during operation to prevent injury from high-pressure grease injection.
- Use only the recommended type of grease for the specific application.
- Store the needle nozzle in a clean, dry place when not in use.
Produkt overview
The Lincoln 5803 Needle Nozzle is constructed from hardened steel, ensuring durability and resistance to wear. Its design allows for precise application of grease into fittings that are difficult to access with standard grease couplers.

Opsætning
To prepare the Lincoln 5803 Needle Nozzle for use, follow these steps:
- Ensure your hand-held grease gun has a standard 1/8 inch NPT (male) thread at its hose or rigid extension.
- Carefully thread the Lincoln 5803 Needle Nozzle onto the grease gun's hose or extension. Hand-tighten initially, then use a wrench to secure it firmly, ensuring a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten.
- Verify that the nozzle is securely attached before proceeding with lubrication.

Betjeningsvejledning
The Lincoln 5803 Needle Nozzle is designed for precise lubrication of fittings that are difficult to access. Follow these steps for effective operation:
- Identify the Fitting: Locate the flush-type or hard-to-reach hydraulic fitting that requires lubrication. Ensure the area around the fitting is clean to prevent contaminants from entering.
- Placer dysen: Place the hardened steel tip of the needle nozzle directly onto the center of the fitting. For flush-type fittings, the tip is designed to depress the ball check valve within the fitting.
- Påfør tryk: Apply firm, steady pressure to the nozzle, pushing it into the fitting. You should feel a slight click or resistance as the internal ball valve is depressed. This ensures a proper seal and allows grease to flow into the fitting.
- Dispense Grease: While maintaining firm pressure on the nozzle, operate your grease gun to dispense grease. Continue dispensing until fresh grease is observed extruding from the fitting or until the recommended amount of grease has been applied.
- Overvåg for lækager: Observe the connection point between the nozzle and the fitting. If grease leaks out around the nozzle tip, it indicates an improper seal. Reposition the nozzle and apply more pressure until the leak stops.
- Fjern dyse: Once lubrication is complete, release pressure on the grease gun and carefully withdraw the needle nozzle from the fitting.

Opretholdelse
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Lincoln 5803 Needle Nozzle:
- Rensning: After each use, wipe any excess grease from the nozzle tip and body using a clean rag. This prevents accumulation of dirt and debris that could contaminate future lubrication.
- Inspektion: Periodically inspect the needle tip for signs of wear, bending, or damage. Also check the threads for any damage that might affect proper attachment to the grease gun.
- Opbevaring: Store the needle nozzle in a clean, dry environment, away from corrosive materials and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original packaging or a dedicated tool box can protect it from damage.
Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Grease leaks around the nozzle tip during operation. | Insufficient pressure applied to the nozzle against the fitting; improper alignment. | Apply more firm, direct pressure to the nozzle, ensuring it is centered and depressing the fitting's ball valve. Realign the nozzle if necessary. |
| No grease flows into the fitting. | Nozzle not properly seated; fitting is clogged; grease gun issue. | Ensure the nozzle is firmly pressed into the fitting. Check the fitting for obstructions. Verify the grease gun is functioning correctly and has grease. |
| Nozzle feels loose on the grease gun. | Nozzle not tightened sufficiently; damaged threads. | Tighten the nozzle securely with a wrench. If threads are damaged on either the nozzle or the grease gun, replace the affected component. |
