1. Switch off mobile phone while on duty
2. Check the loco properly while taking over charge.
3. Go through the logbook/fault history while taking charge of a locomotive.
4. Ensure C3W distributor valve (isolating handle towards valve side) is kept in service. 5. Keep a watch on BP gauge, pressure gauges, airflow indicator, speedometer, ammeters and voltmeter and pilot lamps
6. Do keep a watch on OHE and track ahead.
7. Check battery voltage (in DJ open condition) while taking over charge and charger voltage after closing DJ. 8. Do ensure that the line is wired while entering a turn out.
9. Coast the train as far as possible.
10. Check the MR pressure and BP pressure before approaching 500 m warning board.
11. Allow blowers to work for 10 min after stopping.
12. Drain out the moisture and check the coupling and temperature of axle boxes during stoppage.
13. Make remark in the logbook for any attention to be carried out by shed staff.
14. Ensure MP, NR on 0 and LSGR is glowing before applying brakes.
15. Remove the MPJ (reverser handle) key every time while leaving the cab.
