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.
