General information for start-up 

 

 

 

DANGER

 

Incorrect operation of the machine or disregard of safety instructions may lead to 
endangerment of persons or damage to the machine.
 

-

 

Familiarize yourself with the complete instruction for use before beginning work on the 
machine. Pay particular attention to chapter 3! 

 

NOTE 

A thorough, visual inspection of the machine is to be carried out by the operator before start-up. 

 

Start-up of the machine may only be carried out by qualified specialist personnel. The start-up engineer must be acquainted with 
the machine. Requirements for start-up are:  
 
-

 

the Rail Saw have been tested and is ready for operation 

-

 

safety devices have been tested and are ready for operation 

-

 

all detachable connections have been checked and tightened if necessary 

6.1.1

 

 Specification of the hydraulic system 

The hydraulic power unit should have a flow rate of at least 38 liters per minute and ensure pressure between 100 bar and 140 bar 
respectively 40 gallons per minute and ensure pressure between 1,450 psi and 2,031 psi. The pressure must be limited to 155 bar / 
2,248 psi. The counter-pressure of the hydraulic system should be less than 17 bar / 247 psi, measured at the return flow output of 
the Rail Saw. The measurements must be taken at the minimum temperature of the hydraulic fluid (10 °C / 50 °F). Warm up the 
hydraulic fluid if necessary. 
The temperature of the hydraulic fluid must be limited to 60 °C / 140 °F. 
The hydraulic fluid must be filtered with a 25 µm filter. 
We recommend the use of the hydraulic power units D-23, E-15, G-18, G-21, G-23 or G-31 from PortaCo Inc. 

6.2

 

Operation 

A visual inspection is to be carried out before beginning work. In the event of damage, no work may be carried out. Install hydraulic 
hoses away from walking and transport routes. Ensure that hydraulic hoses are not installed over sharp edges. Make sure that the 
environment is well lit; set up additional work lights if necessary.
