3.7 General Installation Practices
WARNING: Before attempting to service any pneumatic components, ensure the air
system has been vented to atmosphere (zero pressure in air lines).
CAUTION: Contaminants in the air system can significantly reduce the component life
and performance of the remote control pneumatics. Therefore, to insure long
component life and optimum system performance it is essential to implement a
preventive maintenance schedule for the locomotive pneumatics system. This should
include draining water from the main reservoir tank and replacing filter cartridges.
Failure to maintain main reservoir and/or filter may void the warranty.
