1.
Compressor Oil
- Check the oil level in the sump – with unit stopped, the oil level should reach the top of the
measuring rod visible through the site glass. Add oil, with unit stopped and depressurized, when the oil level
reaches the bottom of the mark on the measuring rod. Do not mix different type oils. When the unit is
shipped, it is filled with Gardner Denver AEON™ 9000SP lubricating coolant, suitable for the first 8000 hours
under normal operating conditions.

Whenever the oil is drained from the compressor (e.g., due to oil change or
compressor replacement), a minimum amount must be replenished to lubricate
and seal the rotors during the start-up phase. Temporarily remove the flexible
hose between the air filter assembly and the intake poppet valve and add 1/4
gallon of oil through the intake valve opening.
