Typical steps to remove the traction motor blower are as follows:

2
00:00:05,167 --> 00:00:16,333
<b>Warning:</b> To prevent personal injury and potential equipment damage, ensure that the engine cannot be started before removing, installing, or adjusting any components.

3
00:00:16,333 --> 00:00:19,958
Open the Battery Switch to prevent starting attempts.

4
00:00:19,958 --> 00:00:28,792
Also, open the Fuel Pump Circuit Breaker (FCB) and the Local Control Circuit Breaker (LCCB) in the OFF position.

5
00:00:28,792 --> 00:00:32,583
Apply a warning tag to the Engine Control (EC) switch.

6
00:00:32,583 --> 00:00:41,875
<b>Warning:</b> If the locomotive is equipped with Auto Engine Start/Stop (AESS), the diesel engine may start without operator action.

7
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:46,083
Exercise caution when working around the radiator cab.

8
00:00:46,083 --> 00:00:52,000
Ensure that AESS is disabled before performing any maintenance on the locomotive.

9
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,917
Failure to do so may result in death or serious personal injury.

10
00:00:56,917 --> 00:01:04,667
1. Open the traction motor blower electrical connection box and disconnect the three motor leads.

11
00:01:04,667 --> 00:01:14,042
<b>Note:</b> Lash the three motor leads to the motor cowl to prevent damage during handling, keeping in mind the arrangement for later reconnection.

12
00:01:14,042 --> 00:01:26,500
2. Remove the bolts and lockwashers securing the connection box and support assembly to the platform, then move the assembly out of the way to facilitate later removal of the traction motor blower.

13
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:36,792
3. Remove the section of the handrail adjacent to the traction motor blower on the Helper's side of the locomotive, then remove the two criss-cross structural braces.

14
00:01:36,792 --> 00:01:38,875
Save all hardware.

15
00:01:38,875 --> 00:01:45,375
4. Remove the eight traction motor blower mounting bolts and hardened washers.
