1. Pump and purge the IVC with gN2 (at least 5 times). Make sure the pop-off valve on the magnet IVC is closed after each pump-purge cycle, and leave it closed.
  2. Check the LN2 level in the outside tank. Ask Jordan (FNAL) to order a refill for the outside LN2 tank.
  3. Pump-purge the separator space, and at the end of pump-purge cycles, keep the separator pump-out line pressurized and close the hand-valve in the cave.
  4. Pump-purge magnet space with measuring purity at each cycle.
  5. Pump-purge the fridge.
  6. Unscrew run, bypass valves (in the fridge), and take them out.
    > Blow gHe through it.
    > Spray dry lube
  7. Ensure both QT Dewars are full (~200L).
  8. Ensure the entire system is leak-tight, and check the total gHe amount for several days.
  9. Check the vacuum jackets of the transfer lines.
  10. Check the oil levels in the roots-pumps.
  11. Ensure all the remote control valves are working
    a)  Magnet bypass
    b)  Gate valve bypass
    c)  Fridge run, bypass valves
    d)  Magnet Flow Controller
    e)  Separator Flow Controller
  12.  Check the AMI1700 level probe and controller are working properly.
  13.  Check the LCW status for the past several days to ensure there is no issue with the LCW supply.
  14.  Ensure warm gHe circulation tests are done.
  15.  Check the outside gHe tank level and arrange a fill if needed.
     (Ideal setting: both Liquefiers are full (~200L), and the outside tank is filled up to 60psi)
