Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction in the proper operation, maintenance
and service of Sullair equipment. Individual seminars on Portable compressors 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 Rental House,
Contractor Maintenance and Service Personnel.
