    (a) CHECK that each pumpset has a clearly visible warning sign stating ‘Danger this Pump Starts Automatically’. (b) CHECK that there are readily seen and clearly legible ID plates on each controller, driver (diesel and electric), pumpset (on base plate) and pump (on the pump). (c) CHECK each pump controller is labelled Fire Pump Controller’, has clear operating instructions posted, has all operating components clearly identified, and has all indicating lights clearly labelled.

    During and after the running period CHECK: (a) Pump operates at the correct discharge pressure. Record suction and discharge pressure. ..................... kPa ..................... kPa NOTE: The discharge pressures may vary with varied suction static pressure. An excessive negative suction pressure may indicate a suction partial blockage or partially closed valve. (b) Pump gland and drain (where applicable) operates efficiently. (c) Out-of-balance condition or abnormal noises are not evident. (d) All local and remote ‘pump running’ alarms operate. (e) Running speed is correct, and record the result. (f) Water, oil and fuel leaks are not evident and fittings on ancillary equipment are secure. (g) Battery charger or alternator/generator is operating at required value within tolerances. ........................ V (h) Engine stop mechanism returns to start position automatically. (i) Belt drives are in good condition. (j) Battery charger power failure alarm operates correctly. (k) Engine instrumentation is operating. Record the results. Oil pressure ..................... kPa Engine temp ………………….. °C Operating pressure ........ kPa (l) Flow is evident from the circulation relief valve when the pump is operating at shut-off head and ceases at the appropriate pressure. (m) Exhaust system is leak free. (n) Cooling water (heat exchanger cooled engines only) is discharging.
