3.4 LUBRICATION GUIDE

Refer to Figure 3-1 for location of fluid fill port. For best
value and longest uninterrupted service, the 3000-4500
Series compressors are factory filled and tested with
Sullube lubricant.
CAUTION
Mixing of other lubricants within the
compressor unit will void all
warranties.
If fluid change is required, follow Section 3.6,
Lubrication Change Recommendations and
Maintenance, Fluid Filter and Separator on page 21.
WARNING
"The Plastic Pipe Institute
recommends against the use of
thermoplastic pipe to transport
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 recommended
as indicated in the Operator's Manual.
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLUIDS.
Contamination of compressor fluid with mineral oil or other
fluids may lead to operational problems such as foaming,
filter plugging, orifice or line plugging.
