Maintenance has been performed on the lift trolley, re sealed the main drive gear box it was quite dry inside and in need of new seals and lubrication.
Inspected the vertical gear box and resealed it, re tensioned the vertical drive chain after removing gear box and finding since last year the chain
had become somewhat slack causing it to rub on the frame. Purchased a new LED light bar to replace the aging and failing flourescent light that was in |

|
Today (2024-02-16) when operating the lift trolley to install shields in the cyclotron, the vertical motion was observed to be intermittently working.
When the trolley was out of the cyclotron tank and on the carrier, troubleshooting showed that it was likely an issue with the motor relays. The relay
box was removed and the relays showed signs of wear due to ageing. The relays were replaced with new ones, and the box was reinstalled. The vertical motion |

The mirror actuation mechanism was observed to be "sticky" during 2023 winter shutdown - it occasionally did not function properly and needed
some manual assistance.
The following items were addressed to resolve the issue: |

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. |

|
Lid-up was first attempted yesterday (Jan 28th) by Dan Louie, Arthur Leung, and Maico Dalla Valle. They experienced problems with Station 9 continually
tripping the system and were not successful.
This morning again there were problems raising the lid above ~1 inch due to tripping at station 9. It was observed that the mechanical counter |

Attached is a scan of a handwritten record from 1994 showing yoke-to-upper-structure gap measurements from 1994, both L and R sides, with tank under
vacuum and vented.
The measurements appear to be made with a 0.25" shim and 0.01" pieces of shim stock as they are only in increments of 10 thou. |

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. |

|
The cyclotron lid was raised starting ~11:45am on 2024-05-02 and finishing at ~12:12pm under work permit C2024-05-02-5.
The raising was stopped a few times up until approximately 5" elevation, for RF group to perform checks, and to inspect the tank seal. |

Wednesday, April 24, 2024, 14:26, Adam Newsome, Elevation Jack, Standard Operation, Lid up operation (second) - 2024
|
Due to an issue with resonator latching, there was a need to raise the cyclotron lid a second time this shutdown.
The plan at first was to raise the lid by small increments (approximately 1mm at a time up to approximately 25mm) while RF group performed some
checks. |
