2.1 INTRODUCTION
Your new Sullair electric 2--stage motor driven air
compressor offers superior performance and reli-
ability requiring a minimal amount of maintenance.
Your compressor is equipped with a 2--stage Sullair
rotary screw air compressor. Compared to other
compressors, the Sullair is unique in mechanical
reliability, with virtually no wear or loss of perfor-
mance. With a Sullair compressor, there is no in-
spection required of the working parts within the
compressor unit.
As you will see in the following pages, it is very easy
to care for, and/or, to maintain a Sullair compressor.
By careful and step--by--step adherence to the
guidelines and procedure, operator(s) will be able to
keep the compressor in top operational condition.

The 2--stage Sullair compressor unit is driven by an
industrial motor designed to provide enough horse-
power for more than adequate reserve at rated con-
ditions.
On air--cooled models, a separate motor driven fan
forces air through the cooler, thereby removing the
compression heat from the cooling fluid.
Provisions are made for easy access to such com-
ponents as the fluid filters, control valves and the air
