3.2 LUBRICATION GUIDE
Refer to Figure 3-1 for location of fluid fill port. For
best value and longest uninterrupted service, the
1100e through 1800e Series compressors are
factory filled and tested with Sullube lubricant.
Refer to Lubrication Change Recommendations and
Maintenance—Fluid Filter and Separator on page 24
if fluid change is required.
Maintenance of all other components is still
recommended as indicated in the Operator’s
Manual.
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
plugging, orifice or line plugging.
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 differing from that
stated in the manual. Contact your Sullair dealer for
details.
CAUTION
Mixing of other lubricants within the com-
pressor unit will void all warranties.
WARNING
"The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends
against the use of thermoplastic pipe to
transport compressed air or other com-
pressed 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.
NOTE
Flush system when switching lubricant
brands.
