Recommended Oil Change Intervals
Use
Table 5-1
as an approximate guide. For
best results, Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems
recommends an oil sampling program.
The initial oil change should occur after the first
200 hours of operation. Thereafter, frequency of oil
changes will depend on the operating conditions.
Check for oil contamination periodically. Time
between oil changes should never exceed 6
months.
In addition,

Hazards Associated With Breakdown or
Ignition of Lubrication
DANGER
!
There is a risk associated
with the lubrication media
breaking down and resulting
in a hazardous fluid or vapor.
There may also be a hazard
associated with the ignition of
the lubrication media. Refer to
the lubrication manufacturer’s
applicable instruction for safety
precautions.
LUBRICATION – INTEGRAL
PRESSURE
Oil Filter
Change the oil filter element and its shell gasket
at every oil change. The oil filter element (P/N
91999-1) and shell gasket (P/H 12102-6) are
available from Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems
in Springfield, Missouri, or from any authorized
distributor or service center.
CAUTION
!
Factory-supplied filters are engineered to
provide the proper restriction in the oil
lubrication system. Using filters other than
those available from Tuthill Vacuum & Blower
Systems may result in lubrication problems and
possibly unwarrantable damage to the booster.
