
Keep away from the machine if it contacts energised power cables / rails. Personnel on
the ground or in the cab must NOT touch or operate the machine until energised power
lines are shut off:

Do not attempt to assist someone in direct or indirect contact with the power line before
the power has been disabled as you run the risk of being electrocuted yourself.

Warn others to stay away.

Call for help.

Contact the power company to de-energize the line.

If you are in the truck cabin, stay inside without touching the vehicle body because it's
extremely hazardous to go out before the line is de-energised.

Help the electrocuted person if you know the first-aid procedures, otherwise wait for the
paramedics to arrive.

Refer to Engineering Acceptance Certificate for live OLE limitations.

Do not use the machine as a ground for welding unless the machine is equipped with the weld
line to platform option and it is properly connected.

Inspect daily for damaged cables and wires. Replace damaged items before operating.

Avoid contact with electrical terminals.

Earth bonding straps:

Straps must be in place at all times and securely fastened.

Inspect the straps daily.

Replace straps immediately if there are any signs of burning or damage.

Replace damaged straps before operating.

Check impedance levels after refitting any straps.

Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other
jewellery.
8.3 Travel Hazards

Be aware
of limited sight distance and blind spots when driving. Use a ‘banksman’ or machine
controller when required.

Limit travel speed according to conditions, slope, location of personnel, and any other factors,
which may cause collision.

Take care while travelling on rail, especially when the work mast is fitted.

Beware of slippery and limited traction conditions on rail. Braking distance can increase
significantly in wet or icy conditions.
8.4 Tip-over Hazards

Do not alter or disable the safety switches (e.g. limit and proximity switches).

Do not alter or disable machine components that in any way affect safety and stability.

Do not replace items critical to machine stability with items of different weight or specification. If
in doubt, contact Rail-Ability Ltd.

Do not modify or alter this machine without prior written permission from Rail-Ability Ltd.
