MOISTURE IN THE OIL SYSTEM - The oil mixing valve provided with your compressor package has
been designed to avoid water vapor condensation during all modes of operation (e.g., load level, ambient
temperature or relative humidity and discharge pressure). See "Oil Mixing Valve" notes within this section
for further details on this device.
This feature does not eliminate the need to analyze the lubricating oil frequently. If an analysis reveals
the presence of water in the oil, it may indicate that the oil mixing valve is malfunctioning. Contact your
authorized Gardner Denver factory distributor for assistance.
OIL SIGHT GLASS - This device indicates oil level within the air/oil reservoir. Figure 5-1 for details.
