Pre-Startup Checklist
Pre-Startup Checklist
1. Are the correct GE HSR Operator's Manual, parts book, shop traveler, special tools and spares available?
2. Have the application operating conditions been determinded?
Suction
Discharge
Max. RPM
3. Is a copy of the compressor performance prediction run of expected operating conditions on-site and has valve tailoring
been checked for this application?
4. Are expected startup and operating conditions within compressor design limits? If in doubt, contact the GE Authorized
Packager or GE HSR for confirmation of the compressor's operational limitations.
5. Drain any condensed water from crankcase oil sump and lines. Check and thoroughly clean crankcase, using lint free rags.
Remove rust inhibitor (desiccant) bags from crosshead guides and cylinders.
6. Drain and flush compressor oil make-up tank and supply lines of debris and condensed water.
7. Confirm any discharge bottle supports are loose at ambient temperature.
8. Soft-foot: Confirm the frame leveling jackscrews have been backed off. Have frame and guide supports been properly
shimmed and bolts re-torqued? Compressor must not be twisted or bent.
9. Have crosshead guide supports been properly shimmed tight plus? +0.005" for small cylinders 7" and below and +0.010" for
large cylinders above 7". Have bolts been re-torqued?
10. Has the compressor to driver cold alignment been checked at site? Are alignment readings within specification and readings
recorded?
11. Have coupling/flywheel adapter and drive coupling bolt torques been verified and recorded?
12. Has compressor crankshaft axial thrust been checked and recorded?
Note: Is drive coupling free floating when installed?
13. Have piston end clearances been checked and recorded?
14. Have the VVCPs been set to the desired clearance settings and stem jam nuts been re-torqued to specification?
15. Has the oil filter been installed and compressor crankcase filled with oil to the proper level?
16. Is the crankcase oil supply isolation valve open?
17. Pre-Lube: Confirm prelube pump rotation if electrically or pneumatically driven.
18. Have the oil system, oil filter and oil piping been primed with oil?
Note: Electric motor driven units must have an automated prelube pump system.
19. Is the compressor crankcase oil level controller vented and set to the proper level?
20. Has the crankcase "low oil level" shutdown and alarm been adjusted and functionally checked?
21. Has the low oil pressure shutdown tubing been installed and shutdown setting verified?
Note: / " NTP connection @ the drive end #1 main bearing oil supply point. Minimum oil pressure 30 psig falling pressure.

22. Is oil cooler installed and is oil supply flow counter to water flow?
23. Has the force feed lubricator box been filled with oil?
Note: If frame and cylinder oils are not compatible, remove force-feed lube box overflow tubing from frame and connect to a
separate drain.
