2.1.4 Railgear Controls
RW-1016 Railgear is typically controlled using a wireless handheld remote. The remote should
be stored in a safe, easily accessible location inside the cab. A master power switch inside the
cab must be turned on to supply power to the hydraulic pump and wireless receiver.
It may take several seconds for the handheld remote to “pair” with the base unit when the
system is turned on by the master power switch. There is no power switch on the remote; it will
power off after several minutes of activity to extend battery life. Pushing any button on the
remote will “wake” the handheld remote.

2.1.5 Daily Inspection
Before operating your Railgear-equipped vehicle, whether for highway or rail use, it is
imperative that you perform a daily inspection
– see Section 3.1.1 for Daily Inspection List. If
any items found during your inspection do not conform to requirements, it is your responsibility
to take corrective action before any use of the vehicle.
