MANUAL ORGANIZATION NOTE! Anyone operating or servicing the Sullivan-Palatek air compressor should read this entire manual and be familiar with its information. The following is a quick guide to the contents in this manual: SECTION 1: SAFETY This section contains important basic information regarding general safety precautions for maintaining and operating air compressors.
GENERAL SAFETY Safety is a prime consideration in the design and manufacture of the compressor. ultimately, the responsibility for safe operation rests with the individuals who use and maintain the compressor. The following safety precautions are offered as a guide for the safe operation and maintenance of this machinery: »...
» Anti-freeze compound used in airline anti-icing systems contains methanol, which is flammable. use systems and refill with compound only in well-ventilated areas, away from heat, open flames, or sparks. Do not expose any part of these systems or the anti-freeze compound to temperatures above 150°F (65°C).
Under specific guidelines and in full compliance with OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1920 and any other federal, state, or local codes or regulations compressed air can be used for breathing air. Sullivan-Palatek does not provide equipment and instructions for this application and its products are not produced for this application or use.
ENTRAPMENT » Make sure all personnel are out of compressor before closing and latching enclosure doors. larger compressors can hold a man. If it is necessary to enter the enclosure to perform service or adjustments, secure the access door in the open position to avoid the possibility of others closing and latching the door and inform personnel before entering the enclosure.
PORTABLE COMPRESSOR PACKAGE The compressor is a single stage, oil-flooded lubricated rotary screw air compressor. The compressor package is available as a portable wheel-mounted unit, utility mounted unit, or galvanized skid-mounted unit for offshore applications. All models are enclosed in a weather-resistant acoustical enclosure. The complete operating unit consists of a diesel engine for power, compressor assembly, air/oil separator system, cooling system for the engine and compressor oil, instrumentation, pneumatic control system, and acoustical enclosure.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM Figure 3-2. DIAGRAM, OIL PIPING 185-375 (REV 00) Oil from the compressor oil sump at compressor discharge pressure is directed through the cooling system and oil filter to a lower pressure region of the compressor stator. At the same time, oil is directed to the bearings and shaft seal of the compressor.
The engine speed is regulated by a pressure transducer signal through the CANBUS and the Sullivan-Palatek Electronic Controller (SPEC). From full to approximately 60% capacity, the delivery is controlled by engine speed and a gradual closing of the inlet valve. When unloaded the inlet valve is closed to prevent atmospheric air from entering the compressor.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROTECTION Sullivan-Palatek uses electronically controlled engines in the 185–1800 CFM line of compressors. Personnel operating and maintaining these compressors MUST be familiar with and understand the operation and protection features available with these engines.
NOTE! The Sullivan-Palatek warranty DOES NOT COVER the engine. The engine and its components are warranted only by the engine manufacturer. Operators, rental customers and anyone responsible for the operation and maintenance of this compressor MuST be instructed and briefed on the proper responses to control module warnings.

RECEIVING Each compressor is operated and tested at the factory before shipment. This testing assures that the unit is operating properly and that the compressor will deliver its rated capacity. Regardless of the care taken at the factory, there is a possibility that adjustments may be altered or damage may occur during shipment. For this reason it is recommended that the unit be checked for proper operation and carefully inspected before it is put in service.
WARNING! Never add gasoline to diesel fuel tank - serious damage to the engine will result. If necessary, add lubricating oil to the compressor sump. Refer to 5.3 Compressor Lubrication on page 39 for lubricating oil specifications. Check battery posts and cable clamps to assure proper contact. Connect positive cable and negative cable battery terminals.
The exhaust filter cleaning can only be skipped/disabled twice, and then a manual or parked Regeneration must be performed. The compressor is factory set with active automatic Regeneration. To perform a manual or parked Regeneration, refer to 4.9 Sullivan-Palatek Electronic Controller (SPEC) Operating Instructions on page 30 for instructions. INSTAllATIoN AND oPERATIoN...

When ambient conditions exceed those noted, or if conditions warrant use of “extended life” lubricants, contact Sullivan-Palatek for a recommendation. 5.3.1 CHECK The oil level should be checked daily.
Sullivan-Palatek recommends oil sampling as the best guide for your fluid change interval. Changing fluid once a year my not be adequate or it can be excessive. For this reason an hourly service on lubricants is merely a guide.
OIL SAMPLE FOR ANALYSIS The first oil sample should be drawn after the compressor has run for 500 hours or 3 months. Intervals for following oil samples will be determined by the analysis results. SAMPLE OIL FROM SUMP TANK Run the compressor long enough to reach normal operating temperatures. Turn compressor oFF and allow pressure to blow down to 0 psi.
