GC flow diagrams

Does anyone know where I can find flow diagrams for my 5890 and 6890 GC's? I would like to use them as a troubleshooting tool. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I am looking for the whole instrument flow diagrams. I have heard that when instrument repair technicians are trained they hit these flow diagrams hard. Tracing back flows can lead to the a valve that is stuck open or closed. That way you can use a gas detector kind of the same way you use a meter to see if you have current.

For the whole instrument? Or just subsections? I think there is an inlet flow diagram in the manual. The manuals are available on the agilent website, if you no longer have yours.
