HE NEW RAILS ARE UNLOADED OUTSIDE THE TRACK
.
The bolts are removed from the old rails; the Rail Threader uses the new rails as
a track to move along, lifting the old rails and placing them inside or outside the track
(fig. 29)
Once the old rails have been removed, the operation is repeated at the starting
point where the pile of rails is, to have the new rails at the rated gauge ready for
fastening.

.
During this operation is is PROHIBITED for anyone to move around in front
of and beside the Rail Threader. Any operation to be carried out in front of
or beside the machine must take place with the motor off and the parking
brake locked.
To maintain a good balance for the Rail Threader, always make sure to
handle two rails simultaneously and check that the various movements
remain symmetrical with the Rail Threader axis.
