The correct answer is D) All of the above are correct. This is the correct answer because before starting a separator, it is important to take all of the listed precautions: 1) Check the oil level in the gear housing to ensure proper lubrication. 2) Ensure the separator is properly assembled to prevent leaks or malfunctions. 3) Release the bowl brake and confirm the valve lineup is correct to allow proper operation of the separator.
