SECTION 1 - SAFETY GENERAL SULLIVAN-PALATEK designs all its compressors so they can be operated safely despite the fact that operating a motor driven air compressor can be hazardous. Responsibility for continued safe operation rests with those who install, use and maintain the equipment. The precautions offered in this section will minimize the inherent hazards and reduce the likelihood of accidental damage or injuries.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK Compressed air filters or lubricators with plastic bowls should not be used. Steel bowls are recommended. Keep personnel out of line with, and away from, the discharge opening of air lines, or tools, or other areas of direct, or deflected, compressed air discharge. Do not allow anyone to engage in horseplay with air hoses as serious bodily injury or death may result.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ PHYSICAL DANGERS Wear OSHA approved personal protective gear including gloves, safety shoes, safety glasses, head covering, and ear protection when working on or around the compressor. Avoid bodily contact with hot oil, hot surfaces, sharp edges and corners. Keep all parts of the body away from all potential points of air discharge, including pressure relief valve ports.
1.11 HAZARD WARNING SIGNS SULLIVAN-PALATEK compressors are all equipped with brightly colored, weather-resistant, pictorial/verbal self-adhesive decals. These are designed to warn the operator against potential hazards to minimize risk of injury or death. All operators must be aware of the Warning Signs and follow the instructions thereon.

_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK DATA AND DIMENSIONS SULLIVAN-PALATEK reserves the right to change the design or construction of the above compressor, or to offer them with options which will cause subject equipment to differ from the above specifications, without reference to any descriptions in this manual.
MOTOR The standard motor used to power the SULLIVAN-PALATEK 75 and 100 H.P. compressor is a C-face ODP E-pack premium efficiency motor. Other motors such as TEFC are available upon request.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK INTAKE/CONTROL SYSTEM The intake/control system consists of: an air filter, inlet control valve with a reverse flow check valve incorporated, a modulating or regulating signal pressure control valve, a control pressure switch, a combination unloading/blowdown solenoid valve, and a reverse rotation switch.

_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION/COOLING SYSTEM The cooling system consists of a fan, finned-tubed radiator-type fluid cooler, cooler by-pass valve to accelerate warm-up, a full-flow fluid filter, a drain valve and interconnecting tubing. Pressure in the oil separation tank causes the lubricoolant to flow from this region of relatively high pressure through the system to an area of lower pressure at the compressor unit.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE SYSTEM The compressor unit discharges a mixture of compressed air and lubricoolant directly into the oil separation tank where it accomplishes the following three functions: A) Primary separation - by change of direction and reduction of velocity, which allows the heavier droplets of lubricoolant to drop out.
STARTER AND ELECTRICAL PARTS The three-phase electric motor starter supplied with the SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor has a NEMA-1 rated enclosure. This enclosure is also the location of: the...
INSTRUMENTATION Each SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor is equipped with an hourmeter and five gauges. There is one pressure gauge to monitor the oil separation tank pressure, another to monitor line pressure, and a temperature gauge which senses compressor discharge temperature.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION RECEIVING Carefully inspect for any signs of possible shipping damage. 4.1a Welding Do not weld on compressor package. LOCATION The compressor is designed for indoor operation or protected outdoor site with an ambient temperature range of 35° to 104° F (1° to 40° C). It is important that there be sufficient unobstructed ventilating airflow to prevent re-circulation of hot fan air.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK DIRECTION OF ROTATION Once the control circuit has been checked, all piping installed, and compressor is filled with lubricoolant, connect the three motor leads, momentarily move the selector switch to “Run” then immediately back to “Off/Reset” to check for proper direction of rotation. Rotation should be clockwise when standing at the oil separation tank end, and counter-clockwise from the motor end.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ SECTION 5 - OPERATION INTRODUCTION Read this entire Operator’s Manual to familiarize yourself with the SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor, giving special attention to the Section 1 - SAFETY. INITIAL START 1. Open main disconnect to be sure there is no power to the compressor.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK NORMAL OPERATION 1. Open and lock out main power disconnect. 2. Check lubricoolant level. Refill if necessary. 3. Re-close disconnect switch 4. Start machine in either “Run” or “Auto Start/Stop” mode. 5. Fully open service air valve. 6. Observe pressures and temperature. If temperature is incorrect, refer SECTION 6.8 - TROUBLE SHOOTING.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK AIR FILTER (Inspect every 1000 hrs or sooner in severe dust conditions.) Open and lock out main disconnect. Remove air filter element . Blow dust from inside towards outside with low pressure air (less than 30 psi/200 kPa). When reinstalling element be sure it is seated squarely so that dust cannot bypass the filter media.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT Only the throttling and unload or cut-out/automatic stop pressure can be adjusted. If the plant air service main pressure falls when the compressor is running at full load, more air is being used than the compressor can supply. To raise the pressure at which intake throttling occurs, loosen jam nut on control regulator valve and turn adjustment screw clockwise.

_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK SYMPTON PROBABLE CAUSES AND REMEDY A. MACHINE WILL NOT START 1. Main disconnect open. Close switch. 2. Line fuse(s) blown. Replace fuse(s). 3. Control circuit breaker tripped. Reset circuit breaker. 4. Motor starter overload tripped. Reset. Should trouble persist, check sizing and adjustment of overloads.
