2. Check that there are no visible leakages from the plate pack, valves or piping system X X
3. Check that all the tightening bolts are firmly tightened, clean and measure is correct X X
4. Check all valves on strainer in good function, no leak. Clean up filter basket/strainer min.every 4x /day depend on cuttings volume in mud X X
5. Check all pressure/temperature gauges are in good function, replace if you get a broken gauge. X X
6. Check oil water pump, make sure hose, valve in good condition with water line that leads to the spray. Replace spray if you get a broken X X
7. Make sure water spray works optimally to cool the mud flowing through the brass pipe. X X
8. Check water pump 2x3. Determine if the mechanical seal conditions are normal. Apply grease and check for noisy bearings and cavitation. X X
9. Check 2 unit exhaust fan. Make sure all component in good condition and safe. Regularly check fan blade and AC motor (Ampere) X X
10. Make sure the water reservoir underneath the mud cooler's pipe is always in a clean condition and drained regularly. If the water is brown, X X
11. Check the brass pipe, most likely there is a leak in the pipe. X X
12. Check for water line leaks at the mud inlet and outlet, and make sure all brass pipes are in good condition/not leaking X X
13. Ensure all bolt of flanges, valves are clean and greased X X
14. Check mud hog/centrifugal pump. Apply grease and check for noisy bearings and cavitation. Make sure valve, hose in good condition. X X

8. Inspect all sling and pad eye. Make sure all sling in safe area, clean. X
9. Inspect all valve on strainer. Make sure in good function, replace if malfunction/damage X
10. Regularly check all AC motor: centrifugal pump, water pump, exhaust fan. Make sure all in safe condition and clean. X
6-Month Checklist Note: Check for any metal particles on magnetic plugs when checking oil
1. .Inspect all brass pipe, make sure all clean inside. Do corrective action/repair if you get any pipe leaking. X
2. Apply a light coat of rust preventive product to expose machined surfaces to prevent rust and corrosion. X
3. Check water pump and mud centrifugal pump shaft centerline. Adjust if necessary. X
4. Apply grease/change oil for water pump and centrifugal pump. Make sure the mechanical seal still in good function, replace if any damage. X
5. Check all protection plates, bolt, skid of mud cooler, ensure in good condition. Painting job X
6. Inspect all fan cover, insulation and bearings of AC motor: centrifugal pump, water pump and exhaust fan. Make sure all in good function. X
7. Ensure all valve in good condition, pressure/temperature gauge, and replace if any damage X
8. Inspect all blades of exhaust fan. Make sure working normal, replace if necessary. X
Note: If major refurbishment is required all components to be removed for blasting and painting
