PROCEDURE
PRECHECKS:1. Check all the permits issued for the equipment are returned
2. Check for the availability of the CCCW system
3. Check all the Man hole door in the flue gas side is in closed condition
4. Check the fan casing manhole door is closed
5. Check the air preheater is running and all flue gas path available criteria is satisfied
6. Check the Oil level in tank bottom of the hydraulic coupling
7. Check the oil level in the fan DE & NDE bearing
8. Check the fan & motor base bolt and coupling bolt status
9. Motor switch gear is available for both fan & delivery gate blower and it is in remote
10. Check the instrument air compressor running status
11. Reset the first out condition and check all the permissive is OK.
METHOD:1. Check the oil cooler in line with help of marking in the handle
2. Open the isolation valve for the cooling water outlet & inlet, close the drain isolation
valve for both bearing and lube oil cooler
3. check the inlet and outlet pressure & temperature gauges at the cooler & bearing
4. Check the cooling water flow in the sight glass
5. Close the filter and cooler equalizing valve in the oil line
6. Open the valve for all the pressure gauges & switch and DP switch
7. Release both the local push button of lube oil pump & Start the lube oil pump
8. check for any leakages in line and inform the running status
9. Check the status of filter DP switch, if required change the filter
10. Open the drain valve of instrument air trap and close the trap when all the water in
drained
11. Check the instrument air pressure at the power cylinder gauges
12. Check the local speed indicator probe is not touching anywhere and power supply is ON.

13. Check whether the regulating damper at the suction and hydraulic coupling scoop is in
minimum position
14. Check the suction and delivery gate of the fan is in closed condition and in remote mode
15. Check all the bearing & winding temperature is normal
16. Check the ID fan delivery gate seal air blower delivery damper is open
17. Release the local push button of ID fan seal air blower and ID fan
18. Start the ID fan and check whether the id fan delivery gate seal air blower also started
