Lid down operations for 2019/2020 shutdown went ahead as planned on March 10th 2020 with Dan Louie and Arthur Leung absent due to a conference. Please
see attached file for station counter numbers. Station two right side Highfield gear box was making intermittent growling from outboard bearing, this station
is next on scheduled maintenance and will be inspected post removal next shutdown. Station 3 has spare jack set 13 in place, using Operations thermal camera |

|
[B]Cylinder 4[/B] on the upper resonator trolley was not fully functional when removing Ex 2C during 2020 shutdown. It worked occasionally. Upon inspection
it was determined that it was binding when extend was attempted. This cylinder was [B]replaced[/B] Feb 5, 2020 (model: American Cylinder 562SVS-2.00).
The other three cylinders were inspected and all of their shafts appear significantly bent. Replacement cylinders will be ordered and these will be replaced |

|
The small object retrieval tool was tested in the cyclotron tank for the first time. At this time, there are no known accessible objects that were requested
to be retrieved. The tool was tested in order to gain confidence in functionality for future tasks, when needed.

|
The vacuum cleaning tool (TRH1366, vacuum cleaning configuration) was tested in the cyclotron tank. The following test were performed:
1. Access to areas of interest - are we able to reach certain areas?

Monday, February 03, 2020, 11:06, Adam Newsome, Cyclotron, Development, Porthole Cover Handling Tool - Initial Test Report
|
The suction-cup based porthole cover handling tool (TRH1366) was tested for the first time inside the cyclotron as part of the regular porthole cover moving
task (Jan. 29, 2020). The tool was operated by Adam Newsome and Travis Cave.

|
Lid up operations took place on January 21st starting at 10:25 lid went up without issue. Couple things to note are station 11 had a number of spikes
in the first ten inches of travel and number five had a couple in the first five inches of travel. We will monitor these stations and perform maintenance
as needed. Station three which has spares #13 saw above normal heat generation in the right side High field gear box, we will investigate next week. |

|
Outrigger 2 vertical drive repair is complete - ball screws were replaced to resolve a jamming issue (this work was done in the summer).
The outrigger has been recalibrated and all limit switches and feedback signals tested. All ranges of motion were tested multiple times as well.

|
Tool Trolley:
The connector faceplate was replaced with a new version to allow for more space for service, and consolidate video lines into a single 9-pin CPC
connector. A model and drawing were created and are part of the overall tool trolley assembly (to be added to PDM later): TRH1394 |

|
Prior to commencing work on jacking stations we installed a wall mounted come along plate as per Jason kapalkas instructions Completed spare jack
swap on station 11 and 12, station 11 was swapped with spare set # 13 and station 12 now has # 14 jack set in its place. Once jack stations where swapped
we proceeded to clean, inspect and re grease 11-12 upper bearings. |

|
On January 8, 2018, while troubleshooting the Cyclotron Elevating System during the lid-up operation, the
insulation on the three motor drive wires were repaired (w/ electrical tape) and the two motor brake wires were
replaced (w/ crimped butt splices) between the horizontal conduit below the Cyclotron and the terminal block on

|
We had just finished pulling out the ladders from the cyclotron with the lift trolley. We started to run the lift trolley into the cyclotron when it
stopped moving. The radial drive gearbox was the problem. We pulled the gearbox off. Replaced the key and the lift trolley is all repaired. |

Wednesday, January 31, 2018, 11:20, Isaac Earle, Cyclotron, Standard Operation, HE1 probe reinstalled
|
HE1 probe was reinstalled in the cyclotron this morning as per the procedure in Document 126165. Hardware for the probe head motion had been
repaired/replaced by Probes Group, so the probe head could be put in the fully retracted position. The job went smoothly and nothing unusual was
encountered. |

Thursday, January 25, 2018, 17:16, Isaac Earle, Cyclotron, Standard Operation, HE1 probe removed
|
The HE1 probe was removed from the cyclotron today using the procedure in Document 126165. The reason for removal is so that Probes Groups
can attempt to repair a problem with stuck probe head drive. Due the failure, the probe head was almost at the inboard travel limit (towards cyclotron
center post) at the time of removal. Additional cut-outs were added to the HE probe frame to accommodate the probe head and ribbon cable wheel which were |

A simulated removal of a lower resonator from the Cyclotron tank was attempted by the RH group using the
service bridge, lower resonator trolley, lower resonator attachment, and the (soon to be) attached lower
resonator removal procedure on 2017-02-27. Prior to aligning the attachment over a lower resonator, a small
