00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,167
Typical steps to verify truck alignment are as follows:

2
00:00:04,167 --> 00:00:09,417
1. Ensure that the locomotive is on a straight, level track.

3
00:00:09,417 --> 00:00:18,208
2. Release the brakes on the truck being aligned by closing the truck air brake cut-out cock and bleeding air from the brake cylinders.

4
00:00:18,208 --> 00:00:23,542
3. Check the axle distance between the center and each end axle.

5
00:00:23,542 --> 00:00:32,875
<b>Note: </b>Measure from the bearing seat vertical machined surface, just above the bottom cap, to the same location on the adjacent bearing housing.

6
00:00:32,875 --> 00:00:41,542
Ensure that the measurement is taken on the same side of the bearing housing; left side to left side, right side to right side.

7
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:44,375
Take measurements on both sides of the truck.

8
00:00:44,375 --> 00:00:47,625
Axle center distances should be as follows:

9
00:00:47,625 --> 00:00:55,292
<b>Note: </b>Because of the steering linkages, moving one wheel will move the wheels at the opposite ends of the truck.
