Safety Precautions (continued)
Items requiring extra safety attention are described below. Follow all safety instructions below, as well
as other items in the user manual that require safety attention.
● Do not use the air compressor to compress any gas other than air.
Using the air compressor to compress any gas other than air may lead to damage of the air compressor.
● SRL air compressors are not designed, intended or approved for breathing air applications. Sullair does
not approve specialized equipment for breathing air applications and assumes no responsiblity or liability
for compressors used for breathing air services.
● Oil, dust and abrasive powder may be present in the air, and can be ingested into the air compressor
and mixed into the compressed air discharge.
Installation Safety Precautions
Avoid installing the air compressor in the dangerous areas described below:
● Avoid places subject to rain, water and/or high humidity.
Failure to adhere to this precaution
may cause electric current leakage,
rust and/or reduction in air compressor
life.
● Avoid outdoor installation or areas
subject to direct sunlight.
Failure to adhere to this
precaution may cause air
compressor overheating,
discoloration, alteration
Prohibition
and/or deterioration.
● Avoid areas where corrosive gases are present, such as
organic solvents (benzene, toluene, etc.), acid, chloride gas,
ozone gas, ammonia, significant oil mists
and/or bromine.
Failure to adhere to this precaution may
cause rust to the air compressor components
and/or reduction in air compressor life.
● Make sure that the installation area has sufficient space for ventilation cooling. The compressor should
operate at room temperature between 32°F and 104°F (0°C to 40°C). If the room temperature exceeds
104°F (40°C), the air compressor's protective devices will stop compressor operation.
Excessive temperatures may lead to reduction in bearing life, seal life and seizure of the scroll head.
● Install a pressure-tight, heat-resistant rubber hose at the compressed air discharge. The rubber hose
shall have a minimum pressure tolerance of 175 psi (12.1 bar) and a minimum temperature tolerance
of 212°F (100°C).
Do not use improper rubber hose or flexible tubing as they may crack and/or break.
● Rubber hose will deteriorate over time. Carry out periodic inspection and replacement.
● Sullair recommends installing a service valve for ease of maintenance.
● Verify that the power supply is 208-230/3/60 or 460/3/60 depending on configuration of the SRL
air compressor.
Failure to adhere to this precaution may cause motor and/or start failure.
● Do not install heavy objects, such as filters, directly on the compressed air discharge.
Installing heavy objects on the compressed air discharge can cause damage to the piping and/or an accident.
