Answer "yes" or "no"
-
All the following requirements must be met to achieve a 3 star or higher rating.
(If n/a answer yes) SM
Is machine cleanliness check performed utilizing particle count technology (S.O.S. or Portable): : Prior to new machine delivery, if machine prep involved invasion of system with a Roll-off cleanliness target? : Prior to delivery of machine repair involving system with a Roll-off cleanliness target - Field? : Prior to delivery of machine repair involving system with a Roll-off cleanliness target - Shop? If necessary based on preceding inspection, is oil filtered back to Roll-off cleanliness target? After rebuilding components, do the fluids in the components tested on a stand meet ISO -/16/13?; and for components that are not tested, are particle counts taken on the machines after these components are installed, to ensure machine Roll-off cleanliness targets are met before the machine is returned to work? Both answers should to be "Yes", to be able to respond with a "Yes". Are housekeeping standards 4.15, 6.10, 7.7, 8.4, 9.4, 10.5, 11.6, 12.7, 15.6, 16.7, 17.12 and 18.4 rated 'Good'?
