What were the specific actions Sai Baba performed himself just before departing the Masjid for the Chavadi?

Before setting out for the Chavadi, Sai Baba followed a precise personal routine. Chapter 37 explains that after getting ready in His usual kafni, with His satka, tobacco, and pipe, He would wait for Tatya Patil. Once Tatya helped Him up and placed the shawl on Him, Baba would perform a distinct ritual. He would walk over to a wall where a bundle of firewood was kept and move His right big toe at that spot for a moment. Immediately after, He would personally wave His right hand over the burning flame there, extinguishing it before finally setting out on the procession.
