INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to serve as a guide for
railroad personnel engaged in the operation of the ELECTRO-
MOTIVE 1750 HP F9, FP9 and FL9 locomotives.
The first three sections of the manual present the
necessary information to enable the engineman to successfully
operate the locomotive "over the road." A general description
and location of the component parts is contained in Section 1.
Section 2 outlines the recommended procedures to be followed
for successful operation of the locomotive equipment. A
description and general operation of the most commonly used
"extras," including dynamic brakes, is found at the end of
Section 2.
Section 3 outlines the possible causes, location, and
correction of difficulties that may be encountered while "on the
road."
Sections 4 and 5 of the manual have been included for those who
desire a more thorough knowledge of the locomotive's Systems
and Electrical equipment. Charts and wiring diagrams are used to
illustrate the descriptive material.
Principal
articles
of
each
section
are
numbered
consecutively for ready reference, as is each page of the section.
Articles and pages are numbered in the 100 series type of
numbering. A page in the 400's is in Section 4 as is any article
numbered in the 400's.
