2541

2541’s auxillary air compressor to keep the brakes charged up was running this morning which brings up a few issues. The brakes should not be draining air and as far as I know from years ago that compressor does not pump air and will run till it burns up and I thought shops disconnected it. Also the cord reel for 2541’s breaker was popped again and needs to be looked at.

2523 Right front steer axle wheel

Hello Ken,

 

Please see the attached picture displaying the front right steer axle shaft at the u-joint of 2523.  The axle is not leaking very much oil right now but it leaks enough to coat your finger after wiping the axle/seal area.  There are no puddles of oil on the floor.  Thanks Aaron Bielemeier

Fire extinguisher & 2541

Hello All,

 

The fire extinguisher has been placed back onto 2522.

 

2541 is now back in service.  PW Shops replaced the left front wheel seal and brake shoes plus adjusted all of the brakes.  The chrome wheel caps will not fit over the new wheel window kit covers for the wheel bearings.

Received.  Thank you.  What is past practice?  Would it be a bit quicker to send Beau out to Columbia Fire & Safety with the extinguisher rather than waiting for them to come pick it up?

 

Just a thought.

Hello All,

 

This morning during daily checks the ABC 20lbs fire extinguishers gauge was in the red zone.  Columbia Fire Extinguisher has been called to pick up the extinguisher for repairs.  For now we have removed the ABC extinguisher from 2522 while it is out of service at PW shops and placed it on 2541.
