occasion when restarting the boiler after a shut down:
a) Ensure the main steam stop valve is OPEN.
b) Ensure the steam pressure gauge isolating valve is OPEN.
c) Ensure all the valves in the main gas supply to the boiler are OPEN.
d) Ensure all the valves in the feedwater line are OPEN.
e) Ensure the main boiler blowdown valve is CLOSED.
f) Ensure the water level gauge (sight glass) isolating valve(s) is OPEN.
g) Ensure the water level gauge blowdown valve(s) is CLOSED.
h) Ensure the water column blowdown valve is CLOSED.
i) Ensure the Burner and Pump switch is in the OFF position.
j) Ensure all appropriate electrical isolators are switched ON.
k) Ensure the Pump Interrupt switch is switched OFF (Pump Run).

The feed pump seals are water cooled.
The pump must never be allowed to run whilst dry, irreparable damage may result.
Ensure the pump is fully primed before energising the motor.

Note: If the boiler water level is below its correct level, the feedwater pump will operate. When the water reaches
the correct level (two thirds up the water level gauge), the pump will stop. If the water level is above the top of the
level gauge, drain off until the level is in the middle of the water level gauge (sight glass).
