GENERAL

A good maintenance program is the key to long
compressor life. Below is a program that when
adhered to, should keep the compressor in top
operating condition.
requirements, refer to the Engine Operator's
Manual for a detailed description of service
instructions.
Refer to "Description Of Components" on page 21 for
a detailed description of specific compressor system
components. Prior to performing maintenance, read
the CIMA Safety Manual, if applicable.
CAUTION
DO NOT remove caps, plugs and/or other
components when compressor is running
or pressurized. Stop compressor and
relieve all internal pressure before doing so.

DAILY OPERATION

Prior to starting the compressor, it is necessary to
perform a daily inspection. Perform the following
maintenance operations to prevent unnecessary
problems.
1. Check the fluid level in the compressor
receiver tank. Should the level be low, simply
add the necessary amount. If the addition of
fluid becomes too frequent, a simple problem
has developed which is causing this exces-
sive loss. Refer to "Troubleshooting Guide"
on page 87 under Excessive Compressor
Fluid Consumption for a probable cause and
remedy.
2. Drain water from the fuel/water separator.
3. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank.
4. Check the engine oil level.

inspections to prevent unnecessary problems.
1. Observe the instrument panel gauges and
be sure they monitor the correct readings for
their particular phase of operation.
2. After the compressor has warmed up, it is
recommended that a general check on the
overall compressor and instrument panel be
made to assure that the compressor is run-
ning properly.
3. Check soot load percent
4. Check the air filter restriction gauges. Should
they indicate restriction, replace the ele-
ments immediately. Refer to "Air filter assem-
bly." on page 78.

ENGINE COOLANT

The coolant provided with Sullair portable air
compressors is ethylene glycol based, 50/50 mixture,
colored green, and should never be mixed with a
coolant of a different color such as yellow, orange, or
pink. If radiator coolant is to be added, for any
reason, be sure that the coolant added is the same
as what is in the cooling system, as well as what is
recommended. Refer to the Maintenance Section of
the Engine Operators Manual for proper engine
coolant specifications and instructions. Ensure that
the proper coolant is used when adding engine
coolant to the machine and never mix different color
coolants. An engine
conventional green coolant should not be "upgraded"
to an extended life coolant unless the cooling system
is completely flushed and filled with water several
times to remove all traces of the old coolant. If you
are not sure of the coolant that is installed originally it
is always best to flush the system using water as a
base until flushed water is clear. Then, fill the system
