Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction in the proper operation, maintenance
and service of Sullair equipment. Individual seminars on Industrial compressors and compressor electrical
systems are presented at regular intervals throughout the year at a dedicated training facility at Sullair's corporate
headquarters in Michigan City, Indiana.
Instruction includes discussion of the function and installation of Sullair service parts, troubleshooting of the
most common problems, and actual equipment operation. The seminars are recommended for Maintenance
and Contractor Maintenance and Service Personnel.
