Which action is part of the ‘Look, Listen, Touch, Record’ maintenance approach for pumps?

The ‘Look, Listen, Touch, Record’ maintenance approach is focused on proactive monitoring of equipment to identify potential issues before they escalate into significant problems. Observing for unusual noises or vibrations falls under the "Look" and "Listen" categories, where operators use their senses to detect anomalies in pump operation. Unusual sounds may indicate mechanical wear, misalignment, or other operational problems, while vibrations can signal imbalance or faults in components.

By actively observing these indicators, operators can make informed decisions on maintenance needs, ensuring efficient and safe pump operations. This method emphasizes the importance of sensory assessments in identifying issues that may not be visible through standard operational checks, thereby enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the equipment.

The other actions mentioned, while they are essential for overall maintenance and operational readiness, do not directly align with the specific sensory observations emphasized in the ‘Look, Listen, Touch, Record’ approach.
