Specifications include, but are not limited to: • Valves/piping-check suction, discharge and bypass valves to ensure they are open and piping is free of leaks. • Test the automatic start by opening a test line to reduce system pressure • For Diesel Engines: Run the engine at rated speed for at least 30 minutes. This allows all running components to warm up and stabilize, which drives off condensation and moisture that can shorten the life of important engine components. • For Electric Motors: Check the operation of the starting devices, and allow the pump to run for at least 10 minutes. • Pump Controller- check the alarm conditions, and that controller is in automatic start mode. Verify receipt of remote-monitoring alarms during automatic start test. • Pressure relief-Verify that relief valves operate properly. • Pump Cooling-Check water flow out of the shaft seal packing in the stuffing box. Check the pump casing and bearings for overheating and signs of excess vibration. • Water supplies-Overflow the suction tanks or check visually. Verify water supply has not reduced or that supply booster pumps and valves are operational. • Diesel Engines and/or Generator Sets: Check 1.) Fuel tank levels, 2.) Any valves in the fuel supply lines from the tank to the driver filter or pump system to ensure they are locked in the open position, 3.) Oil level using the dipstick on the engine crankcase, 4.) Battery Charger and batteries operating properly, 5.) Cleanliness of the strainer in the engine cooling system, 6.) Note the temperature of the cooling system, 6.) Ensure the water flow through the heat exchanger is adequate, 7.) Proper operation of engine instruments (rpm, oil pressure) temperature, amps), 8.) Cooling system, 9.) Exhaust system, 10.) Battery system, 11.) Intake system/ventilation Generator Sets only: Transfer switch testing to available connected loads
