00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,917
Engineering recommends that oil samples be collected for analysis at a minimum frequency of 7 to 10 days.

2
00:00:06,917 --> 00:00:13,958
Have the sample analyzed by a qualified laboratory, and then take the appropriate action based on the analysis.

3
00:00:13,958 --> 00:00:19,750
Prior to taking an oil sample, run the air compressor to mix the oil in the crankcase.

4
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:31,750
Some air compressors are equipped with a Test pushbutton located near the air compressor on the Engineer’s side of the locomotive that when pushed will cause the air compressor motor to turn on for four minutes.

5
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:40,125
After the air compressor motor turns off, place the LCCB in the OFF position to prevent the air compressor from turning back on.

6
00:00:40,125 --> 00:00:47,375
Next, write all pertinent information (such as road number, date, etc.) on the sampling bottle.

7
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:52,958
Print the information clearly and keep the label clean so that a lab technician can read it.

8
00:00:52,958 --> 00:00:58,625
Connect an oil-sampling valve to the quick-disconnect fitting located on the air compressor.

9
00:00:58,625 --> 00:02:16,625
The oil sample bottle should be filled two-thirds to three-quarters full.
