10.13 Maintenance notes and lubricant recommendations for stationary compressors

Lubricant recommendations
Please note that proper lubrication can significantly increase the lifespan of your compressor system.
In accordance with valid accident prevention regulations, lubricating oils should be used whose
characteristics correspond to the expected operating conditions.
Avoid mixing different lubricating oils, i.e. when changing the oil type, first completely drain the old oil
from the oil circuit.
If operating temperatures are constantly above 195°F divide the oil change intervals given in Section
10.3 (Maintenance schedule) by half.
The exact oil change schedule according to the actual operating conditions should be set by performing oil tests.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for all Gardner Denver lubricants from your
authorized Gardner Denver distributor or by calling Gardner Denver-USA at 1(800) 682-9868.
The following oil types should be used:
a) AEON 9000SP
