CAUTION
Specific AEON lubricants are recommended for use in this equipment. Other
lubricants may cause excessive carryover or compressor damage. Do not mix
different types of lubricants or use inferior lubricants. Check the decal on the
oil reservoir for lubricating coolant specification.
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION - If the discharge temperature is sustained between 200-210° F. for
a period of more than four (4) hours due to continuing high ambient air temperature, use Gardner Denver
AEON 9000SP Lubricating Coolant which is a superior synthetic lubricant. Short periods of up to four (4)
hours of sustained discharge temperatures up to 210° F. do not require a change from the recommended
year-round lubricant AEON 4000.
COLD AMBIENT OPERATION - See “Installation for Cold Weather Operation,” page 10 and Figure 2-3,
page 9.
PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING OIL LEVEL (Figure 5-4, page 30) - Check the oil level when the
compressor is shutdown and the oil/air mixture has separated. The oil should be visible between the min.
and max. range, shown in Figure 5-4, page 30. If the oil level is above the max. range, the oil must be
drained. If the oil level is below the min. range, oil must be added.
ADDITION OF OIL BETWEEN CHANGES - Oil must be added when the oil level is below the min. range
on the oil gauge. The oil must be checked with the machine shutdown, blowndown and the air/oil mixture
settled out to air and oil.
DANGER
Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death. Shut down
compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout
power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts
and filters.
DANGER
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing
may be at high temperature during and after operation.
CAUTION
Excessive oil carryover can damage equipment. Never fill oil reservoir above
the max. range of the gauge.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter.
