full length of the axle from both the ends.
❖ Near end –low angle scanning : This technique is used for
examination of fatigue cracks, if any, in the raised wheel seat
inner fillet area, which remains unscanned during far end
scanning.
❖ Trace delay technique : This technique should be used to
examine the axle in part of 500 mm each. This technique may
be employed for confirmation of the findings during far end
scanning.
BRAKING SYSTEM
 Phooltas UTV has facility to provide braking for attached trailing railway standard wagon
which has either single pressure brake system or vacuum brake system.

Case I : If trailing wagon has vacuum brake system. :

❖ UTV is provided with two types of hose connections at either end. The upper hose is for vacuum brake and
lower hose for pressure brake. Connect vacuum hose to trailing wagon at attached end and non-attached ends
of UTV as well as trailing wagon hoses to be kept closed by uses of dummy coupling.

❖ At left side of control panel inside UTV cabin, 2 air shut off cocks have been provided, which is one for vacuum
brake and other for pressure brake application.

❖ Now ensure that vacuum brake shut off cock is opened and the pressure brake shut off cock is closed.

❖ For vacuum brake application auxiliary engine mounted on UTV floor to drive the vacuum pump should be in
running condition and vacuum gauge fitted on control panel in side cabin should give a reading of around 25
inches of Hg for complete release of trailing wagon vacuum brake.

❖ Get released parking brake as well as serving brake of UTV for free rolling. Now UTV with trailing wagon is
ready for traction.

❖ If the gauge is not showing the required vacuum, it indicates there is leakage of air in between hose couplings or
from any other place of vacuum line.
 Braking Procedure :

❖ If SA-9 brake is applied to stop the UTV, this signal will also go to
vacuum control valve to disconnect the vacuum path from exhauster
and allow to connect the vacuum line to atmosphere through air
filter. As soon as vacuum drops, trailing wagon vacuum brake gets
applied.

❖ When SA-9 brake lever moved to brake released mode,

automatically vacuum control valve get connected from vacuum line
to exhauster and again vacuum will be created up to required value
of pressure gauge and vacuum brake of trailing wagon gets released
for further movement.
Case II : If trailing wagon has single pressure brake system

❖ Connect pressure hose of UTV to trailing wagon at attached end and

non-attached ends of UTV as well as trailing wagon pressure hoses to
be kept closed by use of dummy coupling.

❖ Now ensure that pressure brake shut off cock is opened and the
vacuum brake shut off cock is closed.

❖ For pressure brake application use of auxiliary engine mounted on

UTV floor to drive the vacuum pump is not required.

❖ An optional brake lever (single pressure brake lever) exclusively for

trailing wagon has been provided on control panel.
Braking Procedure :

 Move the single pressure optional brake lever from R to L to charge the air tank of
trailing wagon as well as to get release of spring actuated brake of trailing wagon. A
pressure of 5 kg/cm2 is required to release the brake of trailing wagon.

 Get released parking brake as well as serving brake of UTV for free rolling. Now UTV
with trailing wagon is ready for traction.

 To apply the brake, first apply the brake to trailing wagon by moving the optional brake
lever from L to R and then to UTV by SA-9 valve.

 When optional brake lever moved from L-R to apply the brake on trailing wagon, the air
pressure drops below 5 kg/cm2 and distributor valve of trailing wagon comes in action
and exhaust brake chamber air of trailing wagon to atmosphere and also it disconnect the
charging of air tank.

 To release the brake, bring back both optional brake lever and SA-9 valve lever to its
previous position.
 Vaccum brake :

A separate diesel engine driven vaccum pump is provided on

floor of the UTV to create vaccum for operation of the
brakes of the trailing wagons. This vaccum brake is
synchorised with the service brakes of the UTV to ensure
uniform braking.
➢Parking Brake:-

 Spring Actuated parking brake is used as Fail Safe Mechanial

Parking brake.
 If air pressure in the system is less or below 5 kg/cm2 will be
applied.
 With Sufficient pressure above 5 kg/cm2 reservoir in MR
Line, keeping parking valve in release mode, while running.
 Checking of brake system :

Perform the following procedures for checking the brake system

(I) Ensure that transmission range cum direction selector lever is in neutral
position.

(ii)Start the engine and allow the air tank pressure to build up to 2 to 2.5
kg/cm2 , At this pressure the engine throttle becomes operational.

(iii)Raise the engine speed by moving the throttle to build up the air pressure.

(iv)Ensure that service brake is in applied condition. Move the parking brake
lever to release condition once the air pressure reaches to 3.5 kgs/cm2 the
parking brake get released automatically.

(v)Apply the parking brake by using parking brake lever.

BRAKE

Break block play

During the cycle of service of a brake block its play has to be re-adjusted for at least one time. lf the brake cylinder piston throw is
on its limit, the brake force decreases (as the brake-block play increases continuously) so that finally the brake cannot apply.

Usually the break block play (distance betvveen the brake block bottom and the wheel tread) is approximately 5-7mm. lf the value
exceeds the tolerances, check the brake piston stroke and adjust it, if necessary.
-
The brake block play has to be re-adjusted, when

- The break block play is not between 5-7 mm

I
I Y
- The brake blocks are replaced.
- The brake blocks are worn out on one side.
9ap 5mrn
- The wheel profile had been re-worked.

How to adjust the brake block play

- Secure the machine against breaking away (skid-pans) i I

- 'RELEASE' the parking brake
- Release the brake cylinders (ZERO brake pressure)
- Engine is turned off
- When assembling new brake blocks, first shift the turnbuckles so that there is
max.
E*
enough room for new ones.
- Adjust the brake play by using the turnbuckles.
- Secure the turnbuckles with counternuts.

NOTE: There is no need to disassemble the truss bar head and the brake leversll

Sub: Check list for working with Track Machines

Chapter-3 of IRTMM mentions the various details of the operations to be carried
out before, during and after the traffic blocks while working with Track Machines. You
are well aware thal the use of track machines is Unavoidable. The concrete sleeper
tracks have to be necessarily maintained by lvlechanized means for which several type
of track machines have been provided 1o your divisions.

The prime objective of the Organization is to maximize the utilization of traffic

blocks granted and hence utilization of track machines. But the important aspect of the
Quality of work by the track machines is normally ignored by the divisions. Therefore,
the end results of using the machines are defeated. ln order to make full use of the
machines with quality output, Check tists for various track machines like PQRS, TRT,
T-28, BCM, Tampers (including UNIMAT) have been prepared by this office. These
check lists also indicate whether the relevanl item is to be followed 'in advance'or
'Daily' by the SE/P,Way and/or the S&T, TRD staff of the division.

You are advised to circulate these check lists right upto JE/P.Way level for their
guidance. ADEN of the section must ensure the implementation of the same whenever
the particular machine is working in his section. Sr. DENs should test check the same
during their trolley inspections. I am sure that the quality, progress of the work by the
track machines shall definitely improve after these check lists are followed by your
divisions.
