Boiler, Sprinkler System & rolling racks in EMS room

Hello All

 

Just a few things:

1.        The Public Safety Building boiler has been shut off for the summer.  If we need heat we can turn it back on.

2.       The Public Safety Building automatic lawn sprinkler system has been turned on. 

3.       The rolling racks in the EMS room have now been secured to the wall.

RE: 2541

I just got off the phone with Clatsop Electric.  Nick will be by sometime today to take a look at the circuit that keeps popping it’s breaker.  We’ll approach this systematically starting with the circuit and breaker as there have two different trucks parked in the same bay and using power from the same circuit with the same outcome.  We want to make sure there is nothing haywire with the circuit and/or breaker.

 

Thanks,

Ted

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.
