- Dump Oil from filter and reinstall used filter.
Fill system with a 50 percent charge of the new
lubricant:
- Start machine and stay there to observe.
- Allow machine to run about five minutes at
temperature, or until temperature stabilizes,
then shut down.
Thoroughly drain machine.
Change to new filter and separator.
Fill system with full charge of the new lubricant.
Machine should then be run normallv. however.
total run time after the initial changeoUt should be
50 percent of normal anticipated service life of the
new lubricant.
- Drain all lubricant from system, change filter
and separator, and replace with full charge of
the new lubricant.
cAuTION
improper equipment maintenance with
use of synthetic lubricants will damage
equipment. Oil filter and oil separator
change intervals remain the same as
for AEON 'M 4000 -- See maintenance
schedule, Section 8.
DANGER

personal injury or death. Shut down
compressor and relieve system of all
pressure, disconnect, tag and lockout
pOWer
supply to the starter before
removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings,
bolts and filters.
