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 portable 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.
