00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,583
Typical steps to install the air compressor into the locomotive are as follows:

2
00:00:05,583 --> 00:00:12,125
<b>Note:</b> Some Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with an oil free air compressor.

3
00:00:12,125 --> 00:00:17,917
If installing an oil free air compressor, disregard steps 10 and 11.

4
00:00:17,917 --> 00:00:28,250
<b>Warning:</b> The air compressor weighs approximately 2550 lbs. (1157 kg).

5
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:32,958
Ensure the lifting device, cables, and straps are adequate.

6
00:00:32,958 --> 00:00:37,458
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

7
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:49,625
1. Carefully lift the air compressor with a crane and set the compressor on the air compressor slides, then use a come-along to move the air compressor into position in the locomotive.

8
00:00:49,625 --> 00:00:54,167
<b>Note: </b>Check for flatness by rocking the air compressor.

9
00:00:54,167 --> 00:01:02,542
Shim one corner if the gap exceeds 0.015 inches (0.38 mm).

10
00:01:02,542 --> 00:01:08,042
<b>Warning:</b> Reaching the air compressor base bolts is difficult.

11
00:01:08,042 --> 00:01:12,750
Exercise caution when removing the air compressor base bolts.

12
00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:18,333
Failure to do so may result in sprains, strains, or personal injury.

13
00:01:18,333 --> 00:01:36,625
2. Install and tighten the air compressor hold-down bolts at the four corners of the air compressor base, then torque the bolts to 440-490 lb.-ft. (597-665 Nm).

14
00:01:36,625 --> 00:01:46,042
<b>Note:</b> It is possible to install the air compressor base bolts if the access door below the manual handbrake wheel is removed.

15
00:01:46,042 --> 00:01:51,292
A long extension may be necessary to access base bolts.

16
00:01:51,292 --> 00:01:56,917
3. Connect the unloader hose to the air compressor unloader lines.

17
00:01:56,917 --> 00:02:03,917
4. Bolt the air compressor discharge piping to the aftercooler outlet flange.
