Gardner Denver Compressor EBM99L

Danger! Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death.

Unit is completely off and no air pressure is in the oil reservoir

Power supply to the starter is disconnected, locked out and tagged out

All dirt around the oil filler plug is wiped away

Oil filler plug is removed and oil is added to return the oil level to the center of the green range on the gauge

Oil filler plug is installed and the unit is operated for about a minute allowing oil to fill all areas of the system. Check for leaks.

Unit is shut down, allowing the oil to settle, and all pressure is relieved

Oil is added, if necessary, to bring level to the center of the green range on the gauge

On unloaded operation and after shutdown some oil will drain back into the oil reservoir and the oil level gauge will read “FULL.” DO NOT DRAIN OIL TO CORRECT.

DANGER! Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death.

Shut down compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts and filters.

CAUTION! Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing may be at high temperature during and after operation.

Always drain the complete system. Draining when the oil is hot will help to prevent varnish deposits and carry away impurities.

Was the drained oil and/or the oil filter element contaminated with dirt?
