TROUBLESHOOTING
General 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. The purpose of this section is to give an explanation of what
problems may arise, how to detect them, and how to resolve them.
This manual is written to give the operator a general 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.
Training schools held on a regular basis further develop the necessary knowledge for
proper operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of GUSMER equipment. These
schools give concentrated training on the equipment and help to develop an operator into
a competent Certified Gusmer Technician. Obtain information on these schools from
SPI.
GUSMER maintains a competent staff of Technical Representatives and authorized
Distributors who can resolve almost any problem you may encounter with GUSMER
equipment. Feel free to call on these people for assistance when you need it.
