5.8 Use
The following points should be observed and followed when using the S60:
• The SB60 must always be handled with the utmost care, in all aspects of its operation
or maintenance. Failure to do so entails risk of mishaps that could result in serious or
even fatal injuries.
•
The Sleeper Replacer SB60 is only to be used on a railway by qualified and experienced
personnel.
• The carrier must adhere to the standards, terms and general conditions laid out by the
track owners or railway administrators. The user of the equipment must observe and
comply with the appropriate safety precautions.
• The user of the equipment must take all the necessary precautions to ensure safe
operation of the equipment. The driver is responsible for ensuring that nobody interferes
with the machine and equipment whilst it is in use.
• The personnel on hand to fasten the sleeper should remain at a safe distance from
the SB60 until the operator gives the all-clear sign. The personnel shall at all time use
hearing protection and safety helmet.
• The operator shall make sure not to damage the sleeper when grabbing it.
•
When the SB60 is being operated on track, the operator must exercise the utmost
care to avoid the unit coming into contact with fishplates, welded joints or other related
fittings. Such obstacles can seriously damage the SB60 and vice-versa and it is vital
that the drivers acquaint themselves with the relevant stretch of track and if necessary
take the machine off the track to avoid them.
