The agitator drive check is gearbox oil and the seal at rest, and the guard comes off only after lockout. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not enter the vessel or break the seal flange. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

A wet seal gets ignored because entering the vessel 'would only take a minute'. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Do not enter the vessel or break the seal flange.
Every ninety days. Vessel entry is the confined-space procedure. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
