FIGURE 5 -- LUBRICATION LOCATION
LUBRICATION
Timing gears and bearings are kept constantly lubri-
cated by a simple but highly effective splash system.
At the drive end, oil is distributed by a heavy--duty oil
slinger on the shaft (A in FIGURE 5). At the gear end,
gear teeth are lubricated by being partially submerged.
The gear teeth serve as oil slingers for the gear--end
bearings.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT
The factory recommended lubricant is AEON PD
Synthetic Lubricant.
AEON PD is formulated
especially for positive displacement blowers to provide
maximum protection at any temperature. One filling of
AEON PD will last a minimum of 4 times longer than a
premium mineral oil, depending on actual operating
conditions. AEON PD contains a special additive
package designed for greater rust and corrosion
protection.

FIGURE 6 -- AEON PD SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT
Machines are shipped without oil in
the sump. Do not operate before
adding lubricant.
LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove vented breathers (B in FIGURE 5) from the
top of the headplates. DO NOT REMOVE ANY
OTHER PLUGS FROM THE HEADPLATES. Fill each
end until oil reaches the centerline of the sight glasses
with unit not running (C in FIGURE 5). Replace the fill
plugs.
Check the oil level after the initial operation.
Maintain
oil level at the midpoint of the sight glass when the
blower is not operating.
Add fresh oil as required to
maintain the proper level.
Do not overfill as this will tend to
cause excessive heating of the gears
and may damage the unit.
