The rubber side bearers consist of alternate layers of steel laminations and rubber which are bonded together.

2
00:00:07,208 --> 00:00:16,917
The side bearers transmit the weight of the locomotive to the trucks, while permitting controlled lateral motion of the trucks relative to the locomotive platform.

3
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:20,125
Inspect the side bearers as follows:

4
00:00:20,125 --> 00:00:25,250
Ensure that the side bearer is centered under the locomotive side bearer pad.

5
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:31,583
Inspect for evidence of motion between the side bearer and the locomotive side bearer pad.

6
00:00:31,583 --> 00:00:38,542
Inspect the side bearers for extreme wear or severe separation of rubber and steel laminations.

7
00:00:38,542 --> 00:00:42,667
Replace any defective or displaced side bearers.

8
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:48,833
Contact a Field Service representative for correct defective side bearer replacement procedures.
