It is highly recommended that the lubricating oil be analyzed frequently in order to identify its quality and
remaining operational life. A sampling valve, located on the heat exchanger manifold is provided for this
purpose
.
Use of improper lubricants will cause damage to equipment. Do not mix
different types of lubricants or use inferior lubricants.
All materials used in Gardner Denver compressor units are compatible with
AEON 9000SP Synthetic Lubricating Coolant. Use caution when selecting
downstream components such as lubricating bowls, gaskets and valve trim.
AEON 9000SP Synthetic Lubricating Coolant is not compatible with Nitrile
(Buna N) or acrylic paints. AEON 9000SP is compatible with most air system
downstream components.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for all AEON lubricants at:

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.
