Narrative:

Aircraft arrived at gate with a squawk on #1 CSD overtemp. The aircraft was to get a daily check. When I was checking the fluids, I've noticed that #1 CSD was over svcd. This was a 25 min turn around, so the captain never did get out of his seat. The fluid in the CSD was red in color. I told the captain that I was going to drain the CSD and service it to the proper level, I accomplished this and reconnected the CSD, then told a co-worker to tell the captain to start the engine and run it at idle for a short while. During the run, the CSD did not show the oil circulating in the sight glass indicator. The engine was shut down shortly because the captain observed that the CSD was over-temping again and he did disconnect the CSD. When the engine came to a complete stop, still there wasn't any fluid in the sight glass. I svcd it again to the proper level and reconnected, then the captain ran it again and the same thing happened, over-temping, disconnected it and shut down. The engine came to a stop and I reconnected it again, svcd it some more, to at least the bottom of sight glass at this time the lead tech told me to close and secure the engine, because we didn't want to delay this flight any longer, then I told him that the engine has to be ran again to disconnect the CSD, then we decided to tell and instruct the skidder to do the disconnecting after start up. I completed all the paperwork in the logbook and the MEL stickers. When I came up to the cockpit my hands were kind of oily so I told the pilot here's the log and would you do me the favor of sticking this little sticker by #1 CSD disconnect switch, by the way, it is still connected, so when you're out there on the start up diamond, after start at idle just FLIP this switch and you're set to go. He, the captain, apparently forgot to do this, and that's why he commented to lga maintenance over the VHF, then he was told again what to do.

Title: ACR MLG MECH DID NOT COMPLETE MAINT WORK FOR WHICH HE HAD SIGNED OFF AND APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SVC.

Narrative: ACFT ARRIVED AT GATE WITH A SQUAWK ON #1 CSD OVERTEMP. THE ACFT WAS TO GET A DAILY CHK. WHEN I WAS CHKING THE FLUIDS, I'VE NOTICED THAT #1 CSD WAS OVER SVCD. THIS WAS A 25 MIN TURN AROUND, SO THE CAPT NEVER DID GET OUT OF HIS SEAT. THE FLUID IN THE CSD WAS RED IN COLOR. I TOLD THE CAPT THAT I WAS GOING TO DRAIN THE CSD AND SVC IT TO THE PROPER LEVEL, I ACCOMPLISHED THIS AND RECONNECTED THE CSD, THEN TOLD A CO-WORKER TO TELL THE CAPT TO START THE ENG AND RUN IT AT IDLE FOR A SHORT WHILE. DURING THE RUN, THE CSD DID NOT SHOW THE OIL CIRCULATING IN THE SIGHT GLASS INDICATOR. THE ENG WAS SHUT DOWN SHORTLY BECAUSE THE CAPT OBSERVED THAT THE CSD WAS OVER-TEMPING AGAIN AND HE DID DISCONNECT THE CSD. WHEN THE ENG CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, STILL THERE WASN'T ANY FLUID IN THE SIGHT GLASS. I SVCD IT AGAIN TO THE PROPER LEVEL AND RECONNECTED, THEN THE CAPT RAN IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, OVER-TEMPING, DISCONNECTED IT AND SHUT DOWN. THE ENG CAME TO A STOP AND I RECONNECTED IT AGAIN, SVCD IT SOME MORE, TO AT LEAST THE BOTTOM OF SIGHT GLASS AT THIS TIME THE LEAD TECH TOLD ME TO CLOSE AND SECURE THE ENG, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO DELAY THIS FLT ANY LONGER, THEN I TOLD HIM THAT THE ENG HAS TO BE RAN AGAIN TO DISCONNECT THE CSD, THEN WE DECIDED TO TELL AND INSTRUCT THE SKIDDER TO DO THE DISCONNECTING AFTER START UP. I COMPLETED ALL THE PAPERWORK IN THE LOGBOOK AND THE MEL STICKERS. WHEN I CAME UP TO THE COCKPIT MY HANDS WERE KIND OF OILY SO I TOLD THE PLT HERE'S THE LOG AND WOULD YOU DO ME THE FAVOR OF STICKING THIS LITTLE STICKER BY #1 CSD DISCONNECT SWITCH, BY THE WAY, IT IS STILL CONNECTED, SO WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE ON THE START UP DIAMOND, AFTER START AT IDLE JUST FLIP THIS SWITCH AND YOU'RE SET TO GO. HE, THE CAPT, APPARENTLY FORGOT TO DO THIS, AND THAT'S WHY HE COMMENTED TO LGA MAINT OVER THE VHF, THEN HE WAS TOLD AGAIN WHAT TO DO.
