3.2 LUBRICATION GUIDE---STANDARD COMPRES-
SORS
Sullair standard compressors are filled with Sul-
lube fluid as factory fill.
!
To be sure that you receive the correct fluid for
your compressor, when ordering fluid, always
confirm your compressor's fluid fill with the parts
technician by using your compressor's serial
number.
Sullube fluid should be changed every 8000 hours
or once a year, whichever comes first. The fluid
should be changed more frequently under severe
operating conditions, such as high ambient tem-
peratures coupled with high humidity, or when high
particulate level, corrosive gases or strong oxidiz-
ing gases are present in the air.

tems. It may affect the bond at cemented joints. Cer-
tain other plastic materials may also be affected.
