What to inspect in a locomotive?

Cab AC ducts were in should be checked for shabby condition.

Make sure Inspection staff     has the fitment drawings of Cab AC ducts.

If not, Same to be collected from design office.

Problem may be reported  regarding gap between mounting brackets of transformer in three phase locos  and should be looked into.

Another problem should be noted during the inspection:-

See in above picture, you find Long nut  here and               Small nut there .

Size of the nut ( check if trade item) should be same . Some nuts can be 3 mm shorter than others in the same bracket.

If it is reported that the battery box was tag welded then  same has to be run welded in the shed.

Vertical portion

It is to be seen that not only the battery boxes are mounted on  run welded brackets only, the vertical portion on the bracket should not be left unwelded at  any place.

Battery boxes ( which are 100 % trade items ) should be   tag welded at places inside the box?

  

TM shop should be  visited  in order to find out condition of brush insulators and tightness of brush holder pockets.   

Complaint of   shed that CCPT 16 A fuse was being used in place of 10 A, need examination.
