AFTER OPERATION
Machine Shutdown
1. Locate machine on level track if at all
possible.
2. Make certain that the two cutterhead booms
are properly settled on their storage cradles.
3. Apply parking brake.
4. Reduce engine speed to idle speed and allow
to idle for 1 minute (turbocharged engines
should be allowed to idle for 5 minutes).
5. Install lockups on the cutterhead booms.
6. Turn ignition key counter-clockwise (CCW) to
the OFF position.
7. Turn battery disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
Parking or Locating Machine
1.
Park or locate machine on level track
area, if possible; and where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust.
2.
If the machine was towed, disconnect
towing vehicle and set the brakes. Move
the towing vehicle well clear of the parked
machine.
Rotating Machine
The machine has a turntable which allows the
machine to be lifted off of the tracks and rotated.
The only function of this turntable is to rotate the
machine.
To lift and rotate the machine, proceed with the
following steps:
1. Center turntable base across two solid and
level ties.
2. Unlock Turntable valve handle located on the
back of the cab at the RH steps. Slowly lift
handle to lower turntable until it comes into
contact with the ties.
3. Move the Turntable Valve hand lever upward
and hold until the machine is fully raised off
the track. Release the lever.
4. Use manpower to rotate the machine. The
wheels should be directly above the track
after rotating the machine. (Wheel flanges
are properly aligned with the rails.)
5. Slowly move the Turntable Valve hand lever
downward. The Turntable Cylinder will retract
and the machine will lower onto the track
6. Install the lockup chains and hooks (where
provided).
7. Install the rotate lock pin.
NOTE: Two turntable mounting positions are
provided so that the machine can be balanced
depending on the attachments installed.
Towing
Maximum towing speed is 35 mph. Reduce speed
accordingly as dictated by weather or track
conditions. Remember that the machine weight
may approach the weight of the towing vehicle.
Maintain increased stopping distance accordingly.
It is strongly recommended that the drive shafts
be removed before towing the machine. If this is
not possible, limit towing to a maximum of 10
miles.
In an emergency situation, where removal of the
drive shafts is not possible, and providing that the
distance to be towed is LESS THAN 10 MILES, it
is possible to simply neutralize the gearbox before
towing. NOTE: When the transmission is in
neutral, the gearbox bearings receive no
lubrication and it is very possible that damage
may occur to the transmission. This should only
be used in dire emergency situations and not as a
method to avoid disconnecting the drive shafts for
towing.
