1. Space the trucks for a truck center-block to center-block spacing of 50 feet and 4.24 inches (15.3477 m).

6
00:00:35,167 --> 00:00:41,583
<b>Note: </b>When installed on the locomotive, the transom ends of the trucks must face each other.

7
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:48,000
2. Remove the temporary dust covers from the traction motor air duct and center pin bearing openings.

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,292
3. Inspect the traction motor air ducts between the locomotive platform and the truck and replace any air ducts that are cracked or torn.

9
00:00:56,292 --> 00:01:03,875
4. Coat the center pin on the underside of the locomotive platform with grease before lowering the platform onto the truck.

10
00:01:03,875 --> 00:01:20,458
<b>Warning: </b>The locomotive weighs approximately 440,000 lbs. (199581 kg) and the truck weighs approximately 62,000 lbs. (28123 kg).

11
00:01:20,458 --> 00:01:24,625
Ensure that the lifting or jacking device is adequate.

12

5. Lower the platform onto the truck or raise the truck on the drop table.

13
00:01:29,625 --> 00:01:34,167
<b>Note: </b>Carefully mate the center pin with the center pin bearing.
