FIGURE 4 -- APPROXIMATE OIL CAPACITIES
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 pack-
age designed for greater rust and corrosion protection.

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Filling Procedure (For 2” and 3” sizes)
Refer to FIGURE 3, page 7. Remove the oil level plug
(H) and the square head vented oil fill plug (B) from the
gear cover. Add oil to the gear case until oil drips out
of the oil level hole (H). Secure plugs in their correct
location.
Filling procedure (For 4” and 5” sizes)
Refer to FIGURE 3, page 7. Remove the breather (B)
from the gear cover. Add oil to the gear case until oil
reaches the center of the oil level gauge (H). Secure
breather (B) in the gear cover.
Add fresh oil as required to maintain proper level. The
oil level should be at the middle of the sight glass when
the machine is not operating.
Do not overfill as this will tend to
cause excessive heating of the gears
and may damage the unit.
AEON PD Synthetic Lubricant should be drained after
6000 hours of operation. Re--fill with fresh AEON PD
oil. If mineral oil is used, perform the above oil--change
maintenance every 1500 hours.
Recommended
service intervals are for normal blower operating condi-
tions. Severe operating conditions may warrant more
frequent oil changes. Laboratory analysis of lubricant
should be used to help determine the optimum oil
change interval.
For best performance and equipment protection, use
AEON PD Synthetic Lubricant, which has been specifi-
cally formulated for positive displacement blowers. If
you choose not to use AEON PD Synthetic Blower
Lubricant, select an oil with rust and oxidation inhibi-
tors, anti--foam additives, and the viscosities listed in
FIGURE 6, page 9. Do not use an oil that contains EP
additives.
Flush the oil whenever a change is
made from one type of oil to another.
Drain the current lubricant as thoroughly as possible.
Refill with the new lubricant. Fill to normal level of the
blower, which is at the middle of the sight glass when
the machine is not operating. Run the blower for one
hour. Shut off the blower and drain the lubricant com-
pletely. Refill the blower again with the new lubricant.
