NOTE: If all traces of water are not removed from the system, severe cavitation may occur at elevated temperatures. Indications are a “gravely” sounding pump, fluctuating or dropping pressure, or rapidly rising fluid level in the expansion tank. Repeat Steps #9-12 if this occurs. 6017 Series Hot Oil Large Temperature Control Units Page 31...

INSTALLATION OF CARBON GRAPHITE BUSHINGS When installing carbon graphite bushings, extreme care must be taken to prevent breaking. Carbon graphite is a brittle material and easily cracked. If cracked, the bushing will quickly disintegrate. Using a lubricant and adding a chamfer on the bushing and the mating part will help in installation.
