  5. IMMEDIATE ACTION FOLLOWING A TRIP:
    Determine the cause of the trip either by looking at the white bar on the bottom of the chiller screen or by tagging through the appropriate ML.

    Correct the malfunction and clear the alarms.

    Reset the Chiller on the far right ML. Fail this and you won't get slowroll.

    Verify that your oil pumps are in manual and on. You can manipulate them back to auto after you are back online and making chilled water.

    Close the trip throttle valve fully.

    If the shaft is still turning and the vacuum hasn’t broken, begin to open the trip throttle valve slowly to get the machine back onto the governor. If the shaft has stopped or vacuum was broken, place the chiller back in service using the appropriate steps in the PLACING IN OPERATION section of this procedure.
