4.13. After checking the density of the train's braking network, the inspector of the cars of the head group, in agreement with the driver, informs the inspector of the cars of the tail group that he is ready to check the operation of the electro-pneumatic brakes on the train:
- The train on... the track is ready to test the operation of the electro-pneumatic brakes. Car inspector "surname".
4.14. The inspector of the cars of the tail group, via radio communication through the inspector of the cars of the head group, gives the command to the locomotive driver to “Brake the EPT”: - Train N... on... the track “Brake the EPT.” Inspector of the tail group "surname".
4.15. The inspector of the head group cars gives the driver the command “Brake the EPT” and informs the inspector of the tail group cars about the start of braking:
- The train on... the EPT tracks was slowed down. The inspector goes to the train to check the operation of the brakes on the head cars.
4.16. The driver gives one short signal using the locomotive whistle, moves the handles of the driver's crane to the standard. N 395 to position VE until the pressure in the brake cylinders of the locomotive reaches 1.0-1.5 kgf/sq.cm, and then moves it to position IV.
4.17. The inspector of the tail group cars checks the operation of the electro-pneumatic brakes on the two tail cars and on all attached cars and, having verified the release of the brake cylinder rods and the pressing of the brake pads to the wheel tread in their normal operation, informs the head group inspector about the operation of the brakes and gives the command to release brakes:
- Train N... on... the EPT track worked. Train driver N... release the EPT. Inspector "surname".
4.18. The inspector of the cars of the lead group, having made sure that the EPT is activated in the 2 lead cars, duplicates the command “Release the EDT” to the driver.
4.19. At the signal from the head group inspector to “Release the brakes,” the driver gives two short signals with the locomotive whistle, turns off the toggle switch for the power supply circuit of the electro-pneumatic brakes, leaving the driver’s crane handle in the overlap position. After 15 s, when the brakes on the train are released, the toggle switch for the power supply circuit for the electro-pneumatic brakes is turned on.
