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.
!
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
!
"The Plastic Pipe
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.

WARNING
Institute recommends
FLUID CHANGE
A - - 8,000 Hours or once a year.
B - - 4,000 Hours or more frequently if conditions so require.
C - - When measured pressure loss exceeds 20 psig (1.3 bar).
D - - When measured pressure loss exceeds 10 psig (0.7 bar).
E - - When required by fluid analysis or known contamination.
F - - Does not require replacement during normal service conditions.
G - - Every 1000 hours.
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.
Flush system when switching
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.
