Gardner Denver Blower GAFMARB

• At the gear end, the timing gear teeth are lubricated by being partially submerged in oil. The gear teeth serve as oil slingers for gear end bearings.

WARNING! Do not overfill as this will tend to cause excessive heating of the gears and may damage the unit.

NOTICE! Machines are shipped without oil in the sump. Do not operate before adding lubricant.

1. Refer to FIGURE 3-1, page 17. Remove the breather (B) from the gear cover.

2. Add oil to the gear case until oil reaches the center of the oil level gauge (H).

3. Secure breather (B) in the gear cover.

4. Add fresh oil as required to maintain proper level.

5. The oil level should be at the middle of the sight glass when the machine is not operating. Refer to Figure 3-2, page 18, for approximate oil capacities.;

Warning: Do not over-grease bearings as this could cause premature bearing failure.
