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.
