Note that repeated addition of oil between oil changes may indicate excessive oil carry-over and should
be investigated.
Excessive oil carry-over can damage equipment. Never fill oil reservoir above
the “max” level mark.
Use only CLEAN containers and funnels to avoid contamination of oil. Provide
for clean storage of oils. Changing the oil will be of little benefit if done in a
careless manner
OIL CHANGE INTERVAL
– The AEON 9000SP Synthetic Lubricating Coolant shall be changed every
8000 hours of operation or as prescribed by the results of an oil analysis, whichever comes first. Note
that severe operating conditions (e.g., very dusty, high humidity, etc.), may require more frequent oil
changes.
Gardner Denver offers a free oil analysis program with our AEON 9000SP lubricant. The first sample
from a new unit should be sent in between 40-100 hours of operation.
DRAINING AND CLEANING OIL SYSTEM
- Always drain the complete system. Draining when the oil is
hot will help to prevent varnish deposits and carry away impurities. To drain the system, use the following
method: (See Figure 5-1, page 45.
1.
Be sure the unit is completely off and oil sump is depressurized.
2.
Disconnect lockout and tagout the power supply to the compressor package.
3.
Close (if provided by user) valve isolating compressor package from air system.
4.
Wipe away all dirt around the oil fill plug (1) and remove it..
5.
Remove drain (3) plug to evacuate oil.
6.
Replace drain plug (3), add oil up to the max level on the oil sight gauge, and replace fill plug (1).
7.
Restore power and run unit to check for leaks.
8.
After 1-2 minutes of operation, stop the unit, allow the oil to settle, and check that a proper oil level
has been achieved. If additional oil is required, repeat steps 1,2,3,4, and 6, 7 to correct oil level.
