Lubrication Guide - 24Kt Compressors - Sullair ES-6 Series User Manual

SECTION 3
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.
Maintenance of all other components is still
recommended as indicated in the Operator's Manual.
For light-duty high-humidity
condensed moisture
(mayonnaise) may occur, the fluid change interval
must be reduced to 300 hours maximum. A
nondetergent fluid with rust, oxidation and foam
inhibitors and good water separation characteristics
should be used.
CAUTION
Mixing of other fluids within the compres-
sor will void all warranties.
Contamination of non-detergent mineral fluids with
traces of ATF or detergent motor fluids may lead to
operational problems
plugging, orifice or line plugging. Flushing is required
if changing to a different lubricant.
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.

3.3 LUBRICATION GUIDE - 24KT
COMPRESSORS
Sullair 24KT compressors are filled with a lubricant
which rarely needs to be changed. In the event a
change of fluid is required, use only Sullair 24KT
fluid.
CAUTION
Mixing of other fluids within the compres-
sor will void all warranties.
Sullair recommends that a 24KT sample be taken at
the first filter change and sent to the factory for
analysis. This is a free service. A sample kit with
instructions and self-addressed container is to be
supplied by your Sullair Representative at start-up.
The user will receive an analysis report with
recommendations.
ES-6 USER MANUAL
Fluid fill level should
be at 1/4 to 1/2 of the
sight glass when the
compressor is
running.
