00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,583
The coil springs transfer the weight of the locomotive to the wheel and axle assembly, dampen vertical forces, and improve ride quality.

2
00:00:09,583 --> 00:00:16,750
There are twelve coil-compression springs, one spring located on each side of each journal bearing housing.

3
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:22,500
<b>Note: </b>Removal of the coil springs requires disassembly of the steering arrangement.

4
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:27,083
Obtain the correct procedures from a Field Service representative.

5
00:00:27,083 --> 00:00:34,792
For purposes of visual inspection, raise the weight of the locomotive and the truck from the axles to expose the springs for viewing.

6
00:00:34,792 --> 00:00:44,333
Visually inspect the spring coils for breaks, cracks, vertical wear flats, deep nicks, gouges, or other signs of spring damage.

7
00:00:44,333 --> 00:00:53,500
If visible damage to the spring coils indicates that the useful life or performance of the springs may be limited, replace the springs.
