Application guide
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.
In high ambient temperature and high humidity condi-
tions, 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.
NOTE
Proper compressor fluid level visible halfway in
fluid sight glass when checked on a level surface
with the compressor not running.
