WARNINGS:
(1) TO ENSURE THE MACHINE IS COMPLYING WITH THE W6A GAUGE
REQUIREMENT, BEFORE TRAVELLING ON RAIL, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE
MACHINE IS SLEWED SO THAT THE UPPER STRUCTURE IS PARALLEL TO THE
LOWER STRUCTURE AND THAT THE CAB DOOR IS SHUT TO ENSURE THIS IS
MAINTAINED. IT IS ALSO ESSENTIAL THAT THE ARM IS POSITIONED LOWER
OR EQUAL TO THE HEIGHT OF THE CAB. THIS IS TO ENSURE OVERHEAD
STRUCTURES ARE NOT STRUCK. THE RCI HEIGHT AND SLEW GAUGE LIMITER
FITTED TO THE MACHINE CAN THEN BE SET AND ACTIVATED TO MAINTAIN
THIS POSITION.
(2) EXTRA CARE AND OBSERVATION OF LINE SIDE AND OVERHEAD
STRUCTURES IS REQUIRED WHEN THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH AN
ATTACHMENT THAT IS OUTSIDE THE W6A TRAVEL GAUGE IN ANY WAY.
(3) FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE AND/OR THE RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE.
