Sullair portable air compressors are filled with Sullair
®
AWF . Sullair AWF is a heavy-duty, multi-viscosity, all-
weather fluid suitable to a wide variety of conditions,
including conditions that can cause severe fluid oxida-
tion.
Periodically drain the condensate from the air/fluid sep-
arator. In high ambient temperature and high humidity
conditions, condensed moisture can emulsify with the
fluid (indicated by the fluid turning a "milky" color).
Change the fluid if this condition develops.
Do not mix different types or brands of fluid. Mixing dif-
ferent types or brands of fluids can lead to operational
problems such as foaming, plugged filters, blocked ori-
fices or lines, or even severe problems like a plugged
cooler or a locked air end.
Contact your Sullair representative for fluid recommenda-
tions if operating conditions require the use of an
extended life fluid (for example, the ambient temperature
is outside the recommended temperature range for Sul-
lair AWF).
Sullair encourages users to participate in a fluid analysis
program. The analysis might indicate a need for change
intervals different from those recommended in this man-
ual (for example, to maximize the life of the machine in
dirty environments). Contact your Sullair representative
for details.
