LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE COMPRESSOR OIL BE OF A RECOMMENDED
TYPE AND THAT THIS OIL AS WELL AS THE AIR FILTER, OIL FILTER, AND
COALESCER ELEMENTS BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED AS STATED IN THIS
MANUAL.
THE COMBINATION OF A COALESCER ELEMENT LOADED WITH DIRT AND
OXIDIZED OIL PRODUCTS TOGETHER WITH INCREASED AIR VELOCITY AS A
RESULT OF THIS CLOGGED CONDITION MAY PRODUCE A CRITICAL POINT
WHILE THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION WHERE IGNITION CAN TAKE PLACE
AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE OIL SUMP.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY AND SERIOUS BODILY HARM.
The following are general characteristics for a rotary screw lubricant. Due to the impossibility of
establishing limits on all physical and chemical properties of lubricants which can affect their
performance in the compressor over a broad range of environmental influences, the responsibility
for recommending and consistently furnishing a suitable heavy duty lubricant must rest with the
individual supplier if they choose not to use the recommended BOSS INDUSTRIES rotary screw
lubricant. The lubricant supplier's recommendation must, therefore, be based upon not only the
following general characteristics, but also upon his own knowledge of the suitability of the
recommended lubricant in helical screw type air compressors operating in the particular
environment involved.
MIXING DIFFERENT TYPES OR BRANDS OF LUBRICANTS IS NOT
RECOMMENDED DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A DILUTION OF THE
ADDITIVES OR A REACTION BETWEEN ADDITIVES OF DIFFERENT TYPES.
