00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,125
Most high adhesion trucks have two lateral and two yaw shock absorbers.

2
00:00:05,125 --> 00:00:20,958
The lateral shock absorbers reduce unwanted lateral motion of the locomotive as the truck moves along the track while the yaw shock absorbers reduce side to side sway of the truck and help prevent the truck from "hunting the rail" as the locomotive moves along a straight track.

3
00:00:20,958 --> 00:00:24,917
Note that the shock absorber arrangement can vary by customer.

4
00:00:24,917 --> 00:00:32,708
<b>Note: </b>Lateral and yaw hydraulic shock absorbers are sealed by the manufacturer and cannot be refilled with fluid.

5
00:00:32,708 --> 00:00:36,250
Leaky shock absorbers must be replaced.

6
00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:42,917
Inspect each lateral and yaw hydraulic shock absorber for leakage or defective rubber mounting bushings.

7
00:00:42,917 --> 00:00:46,917
A light film of hydraulic fluid on the body is normal.

8
00:00:46,917 --> 00:00:55,875
If the body is wet with fluid, the mounting bushings are worn, or bindings are badly eroded or missing, replace the shock absorber.

9
00:00:55,875 --> 00:01:02,375
<b>Note: </b>Refer to the applicable Parts Bulletin for the recommended replacement part number.
