All materials used in Gardner Denver compressor units are compatible with
AEON 9000SP Lubricant. Use caution when selecting downstream components
such as air line lubricating bowls, gaskets and valve trim.
AEON 9000SP Synthetic Lubricant is not compatible with low nitrile Buna N or
acrylic paints. AEON 9000SP is compatible with most air system downstream
components.
Material Safety Sheets (MSDS) are available for all AEON lubricants at web address.

LUBRICANT CHANGE PROCEDURE
- If upgrading to a different lubricant type (e.g., longer life, higher
temperature, food grade, etc), following the proceeding steps.
1. Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Disconnect, tag and lockout the power supply to the starter.
3. Thoroughly drain oil system while hot:
·
Drain oil from air end and cooler by removing single drain plug at the bottom of the oil core tank -
see Figure 1-3, page 10 for details. Reinstall the drain plug.
·
Remove and drain oil from the oil filter. Reinstall the used filter.
4. Fill the system with a 50 percent charge of the new lubricant:
·
Start the machine and monitor its operation.
·
Allow the machine to reach a stable discharge temperature (5-7min), then shut down.
5. Thoroughly drain oil system.
6. Replace used oil filter and air/oil separator element with new ones.
7. Fill the system with a full charge of the new lubricant.
8. Machine should then be run normally; however, total run time after the initial change-out should be 50
percent of normal anticipated service life of the new lubricant.
·
Drain all lubricant from the system, change the filter and separator, and replace with a full charge
of the new lubricant.
9. Subsequent lubricant change-outs should be at normal intervals. (See
“Oil Change Interval”, Figure 5
- 4, page 41)
COLD AMBIENT OPERATION
- See
“Installation for Cold Weather Operation”, page 154 and
Figure 2 - 3, page 14.
