Adjust each rail wheel load as follows:
There are two rubber springs on the railgear located between each railgear outer tube
assembly and spring plate. Each spring is held in place by a nylock nut above it and a spring
plate with a jam nut below it. The spring plate can be lowered and raised on the threaded
rod to correspondingly decrease and increase the rail wheel load.
1.
Raise the railgear until the rail wheels are off the rails.
2.
Loosen the 1” nylock nut above each spring and the 1” jam nut under each spring plate.
3.
To decrease the load on the rail wheels, lower the spring plates on the threaded rods. To
increase the load on the rail wheels, raise the spring plates on the threaded rods. Each
side should be adjusted the same amount.
4.
Lower the railgear to the rail position and re-check the rail wheel loads. Re-adjust the rail
wheel loads if necessary.
5.
Raise the railgear until the rail wheels are off the rails. Tighten the 1” jam nut on the
threaded rod so that they are tight against the spring plate.
6.
Tighten the 1” nylock nuts above the springs so that the rubber springs are compressed to
3.75”.
7.
Following the rail wheel load adjustment, the railgear may contact the vehicle if not
enough clearance was left during installation. Check the railgear clearance to all vehicle
components throughout the full range of railgear and railgear suspension movement. If
there is interference with the vehicle exhaust system, it can be bent to fit, ensuring any
exhaust system modifications conform to applicable laws and regulations. If there is
interference with any other vehicle components, please call G&B Specialties, Inc. for
technical assistance.
