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 conditions. 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 specifically
formulated for positive displacement blowers. If you choose not to use AEON PD Synthetic Blower Lubricant,
select an oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-foam additives, and the viscosities listed in FIGURE 3-4,
page 19. Do not use an oil that contains EP additives.
NOTICE
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 completely. Refill the blower again with the new lubricant.

* For ambient temperatures less than 10° F, but not less than –20° F, the use of oil sump heaters, heated
enclosures or synthetic lubricant is required.
** For ambient temperatures 10° F to 32° F, the use of oil sump heaters, heated enclosures or synthetic
lubricant is recommended.
*** The lubricant viscosity must be 70 SUS minimum at the lubricant operating temperature.
The pour point of the lubricant should be at least 5° to 10° F below the minimum expected ambient
temperature.
For continuous operation, where the lubricant temperature exceeds 200° F, synthetic lubricant is
recommended.
