dipping the gaskets in water or the fluid to be
sealed. DO NOT USE THE RUBBER LUBRI-
CANTS.

servicing the flexible coupling.
6.8 TROUBLESHOOTING
The information contained in the Troubleshooting
chart is based upon both the actual applied situa-
tions and extensive testing at the factory. It contains
symptoms and usual causes for the described
problems, however DO NOT assume that these
are the only problems that may occur. All available
data concerning the t rouble should be systemati-
cally analyzed before undertaking any repair or
component replacement procedures.
A detailed visual inspection is worth performing for
almost any problems which may prevent unneces-
sary damage to the compressor. Always remember
to:
a. Check for loose wiring.
b. Check for damaged piping.
c. Check for parts damaged by heat or an electrical
short circuit, usually apparent by discoloration
or a burnt order.
Should your problem persist after making the rec-
ommended check, consult your nearest Sullair
