2.5 EMERGENCY HAND PUMP OPERATION
THE EMERGENCY HAND PUMP CAN ONLY BE USED TO
RAISE THE RAILGEAR. IT IS NOT DESIGNED OR
INTENDED TO DEPLOY THE RAILGEAR.
The emergency pump is provided to allow a malfunctioning vehicle to be removed from the rail
in the event of an electrical fault or pump failure. The emergency pump rocker switch, typically
installed near the hand pump, is held up to enable hydraulic flow to the rear Railgear & down
for the front Railgear.
To stow the Railgear using the emergency hand pump:
1. Locate hand pump handle in the cab or another safe storage area.
2. Ensure that Railgear is clear from obstructions.
3. Disengage both front and rear Railgear pinoffs (if equipped).
4. Turn the vehicle key to the ignition position.
5. Insert hand pump handle.
6. Hold Emergency Pump Switch UP to select the REAR railgear.
7. Pump rear Railgear to stowed position and engage pinoff (if equipped).
8. Hold Emergency Hand Pump Switch DOWN to select the FRONT railgear.
9. Pump front Railgear to stowed position and engage pinoff (if equipped).
