3.2 LUBRICATION GUIDE

For best value and longest uninterrupted service,
the ES-8 compressor is factory filled and tested with
a long life lubricant.
If, due to availability or other reasons, other fluids
are required, follow Lubrication Guide below.
"The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends against
the use of thermoplastic pipe to transport com-
pressed air or other compressed gases in exposed
above ground locations, e.g. in exposed plant pip-
ing." (I)
Sullube should not be used with PVC piping sys-
tems. It may affect the bond at cemented joints.
Certain other plastic materials may also be af-
fected.
(I) Plastic Pipe Institute, Recommendation B,
Adopted January 19, 1972.
Maintenance of all other components is still recom-
mended as indicated in the Operator's Manual.
For light-duty high-humidity service where con-
densed moisture and emulsification (mayonnaise)

may occur, the fluid change interval must be re-
duced to 300 hours maximum. A non-detergent fluid
with rust, oxidation and foam inhibitors and good
water separation characteristics should be used.
Mixing of other lubricants within the compressor
unit will void all warranties. DO NOT mix fluids.
Contamination of non-detergent mineral fluids with
traces of ATF or detergent motor fluids may lead to
operational problems such as foaming, filter plug-
ging, orifice or line plugging.
Flush system when switching lubricant brands.
When ambient conditions exceed those noted or if
conditions warrant use of "extended" life lubricants
contact Sullair for recommendation.
Sullair encourages the user to participate in a fluid
analysis program. This could result in a fluid change
interval that is different from those stated in this
manual.
