Page 14: Receiving
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. The machine should be observed for any possible malfunction during the first few hours of operation. -
Page 15: Preparing To Tow
PREPARING TO TOW » Properly drain and dispose of any fluids in the containment frame before towing. » Before beginning to tow the compressor, test brake operation, including breakaway switch operation if provided or if equipped. » Damaged or worn towing components can result in separation of the compressor from the towing vehicle during towing. -
Page 16: Parking Or Locating Compressor
» Observe and follow all local, state, and federal traffic laws. Note and adhere to speed limits and minimum highway speed. » Do not exceed maximum towing speeds. Reduce speed accordingly, as dictated by posted signs, weather, road, or terrain conditions. » Remember that portable air compressors may approach or exceed the weight of the towing vehicle. Maintain increased stopping distance accordingly. -

DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGE SCREEN This screen will pop up when the machine encounters a Fault/SPN/FMI code. The specific fault will be displayed, as well as an indication if a shutdown will occur. If a diagnostic fault is hidden, a warning icon will be displayed on the Gauge screen. -
Page 22: Jump-Starting Battery
» Install an appropriate flow-limiting valve between the compressor service air outlet and the shut-off (throttle) valve when an air hose exceeding 0.5-inch inside diameter is to be connected to the shut-off (throttle) valve. This is to reduce pressure in case of hose or connection failure, per OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.302 (as) (7). » When a hose will be used to supply a manifold, install an appropriate flow-limiting valve between the manifold and each air hose exceeding 0.5-inch inside diameter that is to be connected to the manifold. This will reduce pressure in case of hose failure. - Page 23 Connect the other end of the BLACK (negative) cable to an unpainted metal surface on the compressor engine with the dead battery. Make sure all the jumper cable clips have a good connection (good clamping force) before attempting to start. Start vehicle with the good battery first and let it run a few minutes. Then attempt to start the compressor with the dead battery.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION TOPICS IN ThIS SECTION: » Portable Compressor Package ..............18 »... -
Page 26: Portable Compressor Package
PORTABLE COMPRESSOR PACKAGE The compressor is a single-stage, oil flood 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. -
Page 27: Lubrication System
LUBRICATION SYSTEM Figure 4-2. 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 oil-laden air is then discharged back into the sump. The compressor cooling system consists of an oil cooler mounted adjacent to the engine radiator. Cooling air is pushed through the cooler by the engine fan while oil is circulated through it by the receiver/sump pressure. -
Page 28: Capacity Control System
4.5.2 OIL RETURN LINE The oil that is removed by the air/oil separator gravitates to the bottom of the air/oil separator and is returned through an orifice in the oil return scavenger line assembly. The assembly consists of a pickup tube, return line tube, a line strainer and a sight glass/orifice. Flow can be witnessed through the sight glass. Flow is generated via differential pressure between the high pressure sump tank and the lower pressure region of the compressor. 4.5.3 OIL FILTER A full-flow canister-style oil filter is supplied to protect the compressor unit from solid contaminants. The filter has an internal bypass valve to assure adequate oil flow with cold oil or a plugged oil filter element. The filter canister can be removed with a strap wrench. CAPACITY CONTROL SYSTEM The control system is designed to match air supply to air demand and to prevent excessive discharge pressure when the compressor is operating but air is not being used. -
Page 29: Electrical And Protective Circuit System
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. -
Page 30: Noise Control Systems
The warning and shutdown lights will be lit on the control panel when this occurs. If either of these protection features activate, the engine requires inspection by an authorized distributor of Sullivan-Palatek products or an authorized engine manufacturer’s dealer before attempting to run the machine again. -

The useful life of synthetic lubricants may extend the normally recommended drain and replace period; however, the user is encouraged to closely monitor the lubricant condition and to participate in an oil analysis program with the fluid supplier. 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. -
Page 36: Weather-All ™ Compressor Lubricant
*Service life is only a guideline for typical oil life if temperature is the only variable to be considered. Many variables affect the oil life, i.e. environmental impact from various gases, dust and dirt, compressor short cycling, etc. 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. Please consult your factory-trained servicing distributor for questions concerning your lubricant life and Sullivan-Palatek’s lubricant sampling program. -
Page 37: Oil Sample For Analysis
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. Open the drain pet cork valve and drain any water from the sump tank. -
Page 38: Compressor Oil Filter
COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER Replace the oil filter element once after the first 50 hours of operation, then every 1,000 hours. Replace more frequently in extreme operating conditions. 5.6.1 INSPECTION The compressor oil filter should be checked to ensure the correct element is properly installed and not leaking. 5.6.2 REMOVAL Make sure the system pressure is relieved. Place oil spill pan under filter. -
Page 39: Air/Oil Separator
5.11 AIR/OIL SEPARATOR Replace the air/oil separator every 2,000 hours, annually, or when differential exceeds 10 psi. The air/oil separator employs a unitized element. The separator element is a single piece unit, which requires replacement when it fails to remove the oil from the discharge air. Prior to replacing the separator element be sure to check the oil return line and orifice for plugging or restrictions. WARNING! Prevent separator flash or fire. Maintain the separator element in proper condition and do not allow it to become plugged with dirt and oxidized oil;... -
