| Summary of Issue | Brake adjustment indicator - I was looking through Ops Policy # 14 and couldn’t find anything regarding the brake adjustment indicators, my question is do we site this violation one per unit like 393.53(b) or one for each wheel end like 393.47(e)? |
| Justification or Need | For uniformity among agencies |
| Request for Action | That verbiage be added to Ops Policy # 14 regarding the brake adjustment indicators, on brakes that require ASA's when brakes are out of adjustment. That only one violation per unit not wheel ends. |
