Lapho i-generator yesitimu kagesi iphuma efektri, abasebenzi kufanele bahlole ngokucophelela ukuthi into ebonakalayo ihambisana ngokuphelele nenani elishiwo ohlwini, futhi kufanele baqinisekise ubuqotho bezinto zokusebenza. Ngemva kokufika endaweni yokufaka, okokusebenza kanye nezingxenye kudingeka kubekwe endaweni eyisicaba futhi evulekile kuqala ukuze kugwenywe ukulimala kubakaki nezisekelo zamapayipi. Elinye iphuzu elibaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ngemva kokuba i-generator kagesi kagesi isilungisiwe, kuyadingeka ukuhlola ngokucophelela ukuthi kukhona igebe lapho i-boiler kanye nesisekelo sithintana khona, ukuqinisekisa ukulingana okuqinile, nokugcwalisa igebe ngosimende. Ngesikhathi sokufakwa, ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yikhabhinethi yokulawula kagesi. Kuyadingeka ukuxhuma zonke izintambo kukhabhinethi yokulawula emotweni ngayinye ngaphambi kokufakwa.
Ngaphambi kokuba i-generator yesitimu kagesi isetshenziswe ngokusemthethweni, kudingeka uchungechunge lomsebenzi wokulungisa iphutha, futhi izinyathelo ezimbili ezibalulekile ukukhulisa umlilo nokuhlinzeka ngegesi. Ngemuva kokuhlolwa okuphelele kwe-boiler, azikho izintuba emishinini ngaphambi kokuvusa umlilo. Phakathi nenqubo yokushisa, izinga lokushisa kufanele lilawulwe ngokuqinile, futhi izinga lokushisa akufanele likhuphuke ngokushesha, ukuze ugweme ukushisa okungalingani kwezingxenye ezihlukahlukene futhi kuthinte impilo yesevisi. Ekuqaleni kokunikezwa komoya, ukusebenza kokushisa kwepayipi kufanele kwenziwe kuqala, okungukuthi, i-valve ye-steam kufanele ivuleke kancane ukuze kungene inani elincane le-steam, elinomphumela wokushisa ipayipi lokushisa, futhi at ngesikhathi esifanayo, qaphela ukuthi izingxenye zisebenza ngokujwayelekile yini. Ngemuva kwezinyathelo ezingenhla, i-generator ye-steam kagesi ingasetshenziswa ngokujwayelekile.
