Dear Sirs,

I have FES SYSTEM equipment, model 140-140 with two screw compressors, R-22.

We need spare part list with drawing and maintenance-overhaul manual.

Thank you

The tech support for FES is very good in the USA. I don't know about other countries but give them a call.

In the States, it is GEA, FES Systems. The website is www.fessystems.com.

To get a service manual on the equipment, you will need the sales order or contract number which can be found on a tag inside the control panel door. Generally the additional manuals are not free, so be prepared to send some money. All of the manuals today are send on a CD ROM. Overhaul manuals on the compressors are generally not included in the IOM.

If I remember correctly, the 140 was a Mycom compressor. I can check my cross reference list during the day.

I found this out last week and was rather disappointed. I have downloaded FREE complete digital IOM's from both M&M and Frick.

FES might want to reconsider this policy.

I think where the policy was established due to the used equipment market. I know I was always getting request for info on used equipment that someone had bought and it did not come with manuals. The new owner called wanting the for free. At the time, it was a lot of work to have a secretary to pull all of the vendor info and make and bind a copy. All equipment was shipped with several copies of the manuals and owners are not very good about keeping up with the manuals.

The 140-140 has not been produced for several years and all of the info is hard copy which has to be copied.

If you want a copy of the manuals on your car or truck, the manufacturer charges several hundred $$$ for them. The info provided on the net by others is pretty limited and applies to newer equipment.

We used to kid that FES stood for Free Engineering Service.

You might cal your local sales rep and see if you can get him to copy part of the manual for free if he has the info on the 140-140 unit.
