Cross contamination which is caused by adding different
types of engine coolants will result in the coolant
additives to deplete (dropout); thus leaving radiator
surfaces unprotected. Corrosion to radiator surfaces will
occur, thus reducing radiator life expectancy.
5.4
MAINTENANCE AFTER
INITIAL 50 HOURS OF
OPERATION
After the initial 50 hours of operation, a few simple
maintenance routines can rid the system of any
possible foreign materials, if any. Perform the
following maintenance operations to prevent
unnecessary problems.
1. Clean the return line orifice and strainer.
2. Change compressor fluid filter.
3. Check Engine Operator’s Manual for
required service.
5.5
MAINTENANCE EVERY 100
HOURS
After 100 hours of operation, it will be necessary to
perform the following:
1. Check the battery level and fill with water if
necessary.
2. Check Engine Operator’s Manual for
required service.
5.6
MAINTENANCE EVERY 250
HOURS
Perform the following after every 250 hours of
operation:
1. Check fan belt tension and adjust if needed.
2. Clean the radiator and cooler exterior.
Depending on how contaminated the atmo-
sphere may be, more frequent cooler and
radiator cleaning may be necessary.
3. Check Engine Operator’s Manual for
required service.
5.7
MAINTENANCE EVERY 300
HOURS
When not using Sullair AWF, change the compressor
fluid and replace the fluid filter element. Refer to
5.8
MAINTENANCE EVERY 600
HOURS
When not using Sullair AWF, replace the fluid filter
element only.
CAUTION
The radiator and engine cooling system
must be drained and flushed every two (2)
years. Replace the coolant with a solution
of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water or as
required for your geographic location. DO
NOT use a leak sealing type of anti-freeze.
Should a 100% water solution be used, a
non-chromate rust inhibitor must be added.
CAUTION
Dispose of fluids in accordance with appli-
cable federal, state and local regulations.
