MR Pressure Dropping

1. Check air leakages from FP,BP, BC, Auto Drain, Air Dryer, Radar Blow, Sanders & cooling coils

2. After attending ensure engine RPM coming to idle (During air leakages, engine RPM will increase
due to AIR Compressor operation)

3. If Air dryer purge valve, or drain valves are blowing continuously it may be plugged with a
threaded plugged.

4. If MR1 and MR2 ABD (Auto blow down) valves are blowing then close ABD valves to manual side.

Unusual sound from compressor


1. Check for correct compressor oil level if found less than low mark shut down the loco &
inform shed
2.If any unusual sound from LP & HP cylinder, inter coolers and safety valve or any air
leakage inform shed to confirm whether to continue working or not

Improper loading and unloading of air compressor


1. Close MR1 ‘J’ filter COC and drain out the trapped moisture in MR1 system, when MR safety
valve starts blowing keep MRI COC to normal open position.
2. Close MRPT COC drain and trapped moisture by pressing the spring loaded MRPT quick
connector stem, ensure increase in ENG RPM with blowing of MR safety valve and then close
MRPT COC to normal open position.
3. If the trouble still continues close MRPT COC and take advice from shed for further
movement.
4. Recycle computer control circuit breaker the trouble very set right.
5. MVCC struck up, Improper loading. Press and release the ‘T’ handle on the MVCC unit.

BP dropping and PCs Knocking out

1. Check AIR FLOW indication for needle shooting.


2. Check the leakages on the formation and arrest the same.
3. Check for any air leakage from both control stands. This may be due to stuck up A9 or
Fireman Emergency air valves.
4. If A9 emergency valve in stuck up in open position, throw A9 handle to emergency
sharply 2 or 3 times & then bring to run position to RESET.
5. If A9 emergency valve air leakage still continues. Dummy the air passage with dummy
cap of BC equalizing pipe.
6. Check if AEB circuit breaker in 41 Trouble Shooting Guide for WDP4/WDG4 wrongly put
ON
