Operating Control Principles

11.1 Rail Systems

This rail axle position automatically manages the rail functions for all rail-mounted operations. When
operated, the blade controls are reassigned to operate the rail drive, rail brakes and rail axle deploy
functions. It also activates the rail navigation lights and speed restriction system. The dozer blade
shims and blade trolley lock system are all manually applied. Gauging interlocks are also maintained
by the ram shims.

11.2 Blade UP-DOWN/Ripper Control Lever

Normally this operates the blade up/dn ram or ripper up/dn ram, but in rail mode this controls the rail
axle up down and rail travel depending on which function is selected by the operator.

When the axle changeover is operated, this lever then raises and lowers the rear rail gear.

When the drive changeover is operated, and the secondary drive acknowledge button pressed, this
lever then drives the rear rail gear forwards or backwards.

Note: Rail function will only operate if the track drive lever, cab exit lock is down to isolate the crawler
travel controls.

11.3 Rail Axle Deploy/Rail Drive Change-Over

This changes between rear rail gear for raising and lowering the rear wheels and rail travel. Note that
the rail travel interlock is always active when operating the rail axle ram. The light in the switch will
illuminate when the rail gear is fully deployed for travel.

11.4 Rail Axle Deploy

To deploy the rear rail axle, ensure that the rail master switch is on and then press and hold the rail
axle deploy switch position and operate the blade raise lower lever to raise and lower the rail drive
axle. The light in the switch will illuminate when the rail axle is fully deployed for travel.

11.5 Bogie Axle Deploy

To deploy the front rail bogie, ensure that the rail master switch is on and operate the blade raise
lower lever to raise and lower the blade as normal.

11.6 Blade Rams Lock

Once the blade ram locks have been inserted the locks will ensure that W6A gauge requirements are
maintained. This may require the blade rams to be moved to find the position that the lock engages.
The blade functions should not be actuated until the ram shims are removed again for off tracking.
