00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,292
Typical steps to install the traction motor blower are as follows:

2
00:00:04,292 --> 00:00:15,417
<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
00:00:15,417 --> 00:00:19,042
Open the Battery Switch to prevent starting attempts.

4
00:00:19,042 --> 00:00:27,958
Also, open the Fuel Pump Circuit Breaker (FCB) and the Local Control Circuit Breaker (LCCB) in the OFF position.

5
00:00:27,958 --> 00:00:32,250
Apply a warning tag to the Engine Control (EC) switch.

6
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:37,583
1. Clean the blower-mounting base in the radiator cab if needed.

7
00:00:37,583 --> 00:00:43,375
2. Install a new gasket and seal on the bulkhead of the filter box assembly.

8
00:00:43,375 --> 00:00:59,708
<b>Warning:</b> The traction blower weighs approximately 1,350 lbs. (613 kg) and the traction blower motor weighs approximately 872 lbs. (396 kg).

9
00:00:59,708 --> 00:01:02,583
Ensure the lifting device is adequate.

10
00:01:02,583 --> 00:01:06,625
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

11
00:01:06,625 --> 00:01:21,292
3. Place the traction motor blower into position on the mounting base using a forklift, then carefully slide the blower into position with a come-along attached to the pulling lug while aligning the blower with the opening in the air filter assembly.

12
00:01:21,292 --> 00:01:30,667
<b>Note:</b> Ensure that the circular knife edge of the blower crushes the gasket in the filter box assembly bulkhead and a proper air sealing is achieved.

13
00:01:30,667 --> 00:01:42,833
4. Near the base of the traction motor blower, use the two "push" bolts and "J" bolts to align the holes in the traction motor blower base with the holes in the radiator cab floor.
