Scheduled Turbine Maintenance
Reformated, September 1991
RUNNING INSPECTIONS
Running inspections consist of observations made while a unit is in service. The turbine should be observed
on a programmed schedule which should be established as part of the unit maintenance program consistent
with the operator's requirements.
Housekeeping
In addition to the detailed maintenance procedures which follow, the daily (or short-term) observation of
Gas Turbine operation and appearance must be considered. The following checklist will provide assis-
tance when establishing routine maintenance programs for gas turbines.
Control Cab
1. Check the condition of turbine generator control panel and motor control center lamps.
Note: Replacement of bulbs while unit is operating could result in inadver-
tent unit shutdown.
2. Observe that all instruments are functional and readable; clean glass faces when dirty, and replace
broken glasses.
3. Periodically check the filter element in the compartment air conditioner; clean it as necessary.
4. Inspect for evidence of loose or chafing wires, and schedule corrective action, if required.
5. Clean the floor.
6. Note battery charger output level.
**WARNING**
Observe all safety notices and precautions when occu-
pying the unit control cab.
