Gardner Denver INTEGRA AIRSMART EFC99J Operating And Service Manual page 56

Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing
may be at high temperature during and after operation.
1. Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter.
3. Wipe away all dirt around the oil filler plug.
4. Remove the oil filler plug and add oil as required to return the oil level to the max. range on the oil
gauge.
5. Install the oil filler plug and operate the unit for about a minute allowing oil to fill all areas of the
system. Check for leaks.
6. Shut down unit, allowing the oil to settle, and be certain all pressure is relieved.
7. Add oil, if necessary, to bring level to the max. range on the oil level gauge (Figure 5-4, page 57).
DO NOT OVERFILL as oil carryover will result. The quantity of oil required to raise the oil level from the
min. range to the max range on the site glass is shown in Figure 5-2, page 53. Repeated addition of oil
between oil changes may indicate excessive oil carryover and should be investigated.
Use only CLEAN containers and funnels so no dirt enters the reservoir. Provide for clean storage of oils.
Changing the oil will be of little benefit if done in a careless manner.
Excessive oil carryover can damage equipment. Never fill oil reservoir above
the top of the site glass.
LUBRICANT UPGRADE PROCEDURE - Upgrading to a longer life lubricant is essentially a very
worthwhile practice. The following are the primary steps to be completed when upgrading or changing
the type of lubricant.
Improper equipment maintenance with use of synthetic lubricants will damage
equipment. Oil filter and oil separator change intervals remain the same as for
AEON 4000 -- See Maintenance Schedule, Page 67 .
