GEJ–6915 Contents FOREWORD NOTE: The purpose of this manual is to act as a guide in the operation of this locomotive. For maintenance information, refer to the Locomotive RUNNING MAINTENANCE and BACKSHOP manuals. WELCOME to the GE DC Evolution Series Locomotive. This locomotive is equipped with Consolidated Control Archi- tecture (CCA) and Locomotive System Integration (LSI) –an integrated control system which allows easy access to important operating information. In an effort to maintain a consistency of terminology between this unit and the other General Electric units (as well as other manufacturer’s units) in the fleet, the front of this unit will be called “short hood” (marked with an F) and the rear of this unit will be called “long hood”. This Operating Manual is arranged in sections: SUMMARY OF WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS, INTRODUCTION, OP- ERATING EQUIPMENT, AIR BRAKE EQUIPMENT, OTHER EQUIPMENT, SAFEGUARDS/ALERTS, OPERATION and LOCOMOTIVE OPERATION BY SDIS SCREEN. The SUMMARY OF WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Section lists safety–related conditions which require specific ac- tion. They are repeated in the text where needed. Please read this section now, before proceeding to other sec- tions of this Manual. The INTRODUCTION Section describes the CCA and Electronic Air Brake systems and gives a general overview of the locomotive. The OPERATING EQUIPMENT Section continues this overview by identifying the associated hard- ware located in the operating compartment of the nose cab. A brief description of the equipment is also included. The AIR BRAKE EQUIPMENT and OTHER EQUIPMENT Sections list and explain the principal parts of the air brake system and control equipment found in Control Areas 1 through 9 (Figure 21). The SAFEGUARDS/ALERTS Section lists, describes, and illustrates the various Alarms, Safeguards, Power Dera- tions and Shutdown situations an operator may encounter. The OPERATION Section gives step–by–step instructions for locomotive operation as well as listing various functions available for use. The OPERATION and LOCOMOTIVE OPERATION BY SDIS SCREEN Sections will guide the Op- erating Crew in operation of this locomotive. Comments are appreciated.
