3.2 LUBRICATION GUIDE
For best value and longest uninterrupted service,
the 12 and 16 Series compressors are factory
filled and tested with a long life lubricant.
WARNING
!
Mixing of other lubricants within the compres-
sor unit will void all warranties!
If, due to availability or other reasons, other fluids
ar e r equir ed, follow
Lubr ic ation G uide 3.4
below.
WARNING
!
“The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends
against the use of thermoplastic pipe to trans-
port compressed air or other compressed
gases in exposed above ground locations, e.g.
in exposed plant piping.” (I)
Sullube should not be used with PVC piping
systems. It may affect the bond at cemented
joints. Certain other plastic materials may also
be affected.
(I) Plastic Pipe Institute, Recommendation B,
Adopted January 19, 1972.
Maintenance of all other components is still rec-
ommended as indicated in the Operator’s Manu-
al.
For light--duty high--humidity service where con-
densed moisture and emulsification (mayon-
naise) may occur, the fluid change interval must
be reduced to 300 hours maximum. A non--deter-
gent fluid with rust, oxidation and foam inhibitors
and good water separation characteristics should
be used.
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLUIDS.
Contamination of non--detergent mineral fluids
with traces of detergent motor fluids may lead to
operational problems such as foaming, filter plug-
ging, orifice or line plugging.
NOTE
Flush system when switching lubricant
brands.
When ambient conditions exceed those noted or
if conditions warrant use of “extended” life lubri-
cants contact Sullair for recommendation.
3.3 APPLICATION GUIDE
Sullair encourages the user to participate in a
fluid analysis program with the fluid suppliers.
This could result in a fluid change interval differ-
ing from that stated in the manual. Contact your
Sullair dealer for details.
