without changing ends). With
engines IDLING, select opposite direction - pause- re-select required
direction and check if light illuminates.
If light remains out, stop all engines - pause 30 secs. - restart
engines and check light.
NOTE:
If the engines of the car for which the air/axle light is OUT do
not stop when the STOP button is pressed, this means that the No. 7 fuse
on that car has probably failed (see p.24-26).
If light still remains out, proceed to car indicated and check if
either prop' shaft is rotating If
so, stop the corresponding engine at once and isolate engine and final
driver.
If
shafts are stationary, check air/axle light in cab of THIS car by pressing
TEST button. If this light
illuminates, proceed normally but recheck
each time the train is reversed. If
the light does NOT illuminate when TEST button is pressed, check air
pressure and final drive indicators for this car.
If these are correct proceed normally but recheck each time the
train is reversed. If air
pressure is below 75 p.s.i. or if either final drive indicator is in the
wrong direction isolate the corresponding engine and final drive

If
a), b), c) and d) are not at fault then in order to locate quickly which
car is defective, isolate the train pipes between each car in turn.

at a point half way in the formation to check which is the defective
portion, then check as before.
e)
Isolate the train pipes between this car and the next.
Release vacuum from the top side of the leading cars brake
cylinders. Drive from the
next convenient cab. (see
Regulations).
If the defect is on a car beyond the first car, isolate the
train pipes between the two portions.
The driver must now use his own judgement as from part of train he
will drive from, according to the brake power available.
The vacuum must be release from the top side of the brake cylinders
of the unbraked portion.
If
he decides to drive a cab other than the leading one he must proceed at a
reduced speed and with caution. The
guard must ride in the leading cab. (See
Regulations).
