TROUBLESHOOTING
Introduction
When properly maintained and operated, Gusmer equipment will provide long and
faithful service. However, occasional problems will arise which must be resolved before
operation can continue. This section of the manual is to provide operators with an
explanation of some of the problems that may arise, how to detect them and how to
resolve them.
As when operating any piece of machinery, it is imperative to know what is normal
operation, before one will be able detect abnormal operation. Perhaps the best way to
acquire knowledge of what is normal performance of Gusmer equipment is through
experience in operating it “according to the book”. After obtaining this experience, one
can readily detect equipment malfunctions.
After acquiring the ability to recognize a malfunction and before being able to fix the
problem, knowledge of how the equipment operates is mandatory. This manual is written
to give the operator an overview of the operation of the equipment, therefore, it is
imperative that before any troubleshooting process begins, the operators have read and
understood the applicable portions of this manual.
To further develop the necessary knowledge of the proper operation, maintenance and
troubleshooting of Gusmer equipment, training schools are held on a regular basis
throughout the country. These schools give concentrated training on our equipment and
help to develop an operator into a competent Foam Mechanic. Information on these
schools is available from our sales office.
Important: Gusmer maintains a competent staff of technical representatives and
authorized distributors who can resolve almost any problems you may encounter with
Gusmer equipment. Feel free to call on these people for assistance when you need it.
