I recently got a air powered grease gun and I need to know what pressure it should be operated at. It probably is a harbor freight unit.
Thanks:

I think they are rated for 90-120 psi.

I have my compressor set at 95#, my Lincoln grease gun works fine with that.

I ran mine at about 90#, and it blew one of the pressed-in alemite fittings right out of its hole! No problem- tapped it back in, and turned the pressure down to 40#.
