    So my place of business flooded over the weekend and water got into the pneumatic compressor and the oil lines. It did not get high enough to reach the electrical board thankfully. Does anyone have any advice on how to check, make sure, fix, or any next steps I can do to make sure my machine is ok?

    Hello Olivia disconnect main compressor line do not turn compressor on drain contaminated oil you need to clean compressor take apart and clean with alcohol or maybe auto brake cleaner if gasket is damaged replace also think about placeiing machine higher on platform to keep dry flood will happen again/ most of all use caution electricity and water dont mix
