6.6 Actual sleeper width
The Sleeper Layer SL400 is manufactured for a limited variation in sleeper width. The
min and max distance must be specified when ordering the sleeper layer.
Adjustment for correct sleeper width SL400/SL450
To ensure proper function of the sleeper layer, it is important that it grabs the sleepers
at its center point when they are gathered. Adjust the sleeper layer according to the
following procedure:
Fig 14. Actual sleeper width
1. Measure the actual distance A (Fig 13). If distance A differs from actual sleeper
width, make adjustments according to points 2-4.
2. Loosen the locking nut (1).
3. Adjust the distance A to the sleeper width with the adjustable screw (2).
4. Tighten the locking nut (1).
5. Repeat step 2-4 for all sleeper spacers.
6. Start the engine and turn on the power for the carrier.
7. Operate the spreading cylinders to grapple position (retract).
8. Stop the engine and turn off the power for the carrier. Check distance
measurements between the sleeper grapple units.
