3.2 LUBRICATION GUIDE
Refer to Figure 3-1 for location of fluid fill port. For
best value and longest uninterrupted service, the
1800, 2200 & 3000 Series compressors are factory
filled and tested with Sullube lubricant.
If fluid change is required, follow 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. on page 26.
To drain fluid, disconnect lubricant hose from the
thermal valve and divert the open end into a suitable
container below the separator/sump tank fluid level.
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.
When ambient conditions exceed those noted or if
conditions warrant use of “extended” life lubricants
contact Sullair for recommendation.
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 mate-
rials may also be affected. (I) Plastic Pipe
Institute, Recommendation B, Adopted Jan-
