AIR CARE SEMINAR TRAINING
Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction for the proper operation, maintenance,
and servicing of Sullair products. Individual seminars on Industrial compressors and compressor electrical
systems are offered at regular intervals throughout the year at Sullair’s corporate headquarters training facility
located at Michigan City, Indiana.

Instruction includes training on the function and installation of Sullair service parts, troubleshooting common
faults and malfunctions, and actual equipment operation. These seminars are recommended for maintenance,
contractor maintenance, and service personnel.

3.3 LUBRICATION GUIDE


Refer to Figure 3-1 for the fluid fill port location. Sullair’s ShopTek series compressors are filled and tested at
the factory with Sullube lubricant.

CAUTION
Do not mix different types of lubricants. Mixing
lubricants can cause malfunctions or compressor
damage: will void the compressor’s warranty.

CAUTION
Contamination of compressor fluids with mineral
oil or other fluids can cause foaming, filter
plugging, or orifice line obstruction.

3.4 APPLICATION GUIDE


Sullair encourages its customers to participate in a fluid analysis program with the fluid suppliers. In some
cases the analysis results suggest a fluid change interval which differs from the User Manual. Contact a Sullair
representative for details.

NOTE
When performing a fluid
change or topping off:
With machine off, fill to
the bottom of the fill port.
Sight glass will be com-
pletely full.
Mixing, changing or add-
ing other lubricants within
the compressor unit may
void the air-end warranty.

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION (SHELTERED)


ShopTek packages are equipped with TEFC motors
and have water tight controls that are NEMA 4 rated
and are suitable for sheltered outdoor installation.
The compressor should be mounted on a concrete
pad. If the pad is not level, the compressor must be
mounted in such a manner that its base or skid is
level in relation to the pad’s surface and fully
supported.
If the compressor will be exposed to blowing rain or
snow, it should be housed in a covered, four-walled
enclosure.
• Sheltered air-cooled machines must have
their exhaust air vented outside of the
enclosure.
• Installations consisting of more than one
compressor should be done in such a man-
ner that each compressor’s exhaust is
directed away from the air intakes of other
compressors or air dryers.

AUXILIARY RECEIVER TANK
NOTE An auxiliary receiver tank should be installed in
systems where large demand fluctuations will occur.
Systems using both reciprocating and
rotary screw compressors must isolate
the two types from each other through the
use of a common receiver tank. Air lines
from each individual compressor should
be connected directly to the common
receiver tank.

SEPARATOR ELEMENT REPLACEMENT
Refer to Figure 6-6. Use the following procedure
below to change the separator:

CAUTION
Relieve all pressure from the separator/
sump tank and all compressor lines.

1. Loosen and remove the six (6) hex head


capscrews (M12 x 45mm) from the cover

2. Lift the cover plate from the separator tube.
3. Remove the separator element.
4. Inspect the separator tube for rust,
contamination, or damage.
5. Reinsert the separator elements into the
separator tube taking care not to dent the
element against the tank opening.
6. Install a new lubricated O-ring in the O-ring
groove on the underside of the separator/
tube cover.
7. Replace the cover plate, washers and
capscrews. Torque to 28 ft·lbs. (38 N·m).
8. Clean the return line strainer before
restarting the compressor. Refer to Figure 6-

Belt tension must be re-adjusted 0.5 to 2 hours after
a new set of belts are fitted. This will ensure that the
belts have completed their initial stretch.
Subsequent to this, belt tension needs to be checked
and adjusted if necessary every 2000 hours for the
duration of the belt life.
There are two recommended methods for checking
the belt tension. The test methods will be detailed as
follows.
BELT TENSION MEASUREMENT WITH OPTIKRIK TENSION
METER.

Refer to Figure 6-8. Follow instructions as follows:


A. Ensure the indicator arm is pushed down prior to
starting.
B. Gently place the meter on the flat side of one belt
at the midpoint between the motor and compres-
sor unit pulleys.
C. Slowly press on the push pad. Avoid contacting
the meter with other fingers as this may affect the
reading.
D. Once a definite click is detected, immediately
release pressure and the indication arm will
remain in the measuring position.
E. Carefully lift the meter without moving indicating
arm.
F. Read the measurement at the exact point where
the top surface of the indicator arm crosses the
scale.
G. Rotate the motor pulley through at least one
complete revolution and measure the tension

tion in Table 6-1 and adjust if necessary.

6.8 BELT MAINTENANCE


The correct drive belt tension is essential to ensure
that full motor power is transmitted to the compressor
unit. The belt tension is achieved by raising the
compressor unit which has the effect of increasing
belt tension. Refer to Figure 6-10 and Figure 6-11.

Refer to Figure 6-9. Follow instructions as follows: H. Compare the resuls to the belt tension specifica-
tion in Table 6-1 and adjust if necessary.
A. Turn on the meter.
B. Hold the meter so that the probe is >10mm (3/8”)
away from the belt being tested. Do not touch the
belt with tester probe.
C. Pluck a single belt at the midpoint between the
motor and compressor unit pulleys. Try not to
disturb any adjacent belts, as this will give a false
reading.As the probe detects a vibration, the
meter will display the frequency. Record data.
D. Rotate the motor pulley through at least one
complete revolution and measure the belts
again, recording the results.
E. Repeat D for a total of 3 measurements.
F. Average the three measurements to obtain the
true belt tension. Figure 6-9: Belt Tension Frequency Meter
