4.8) Preliminary machine adjustments
MACHINE ADJUSTMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION.
SOME ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRE THE ENGINE TO RUN.
SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE WHEN MAKING MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CLAMPS AND LIFTING
PISTON.
The PCMD-FC is extremely versatile and adaptable to the many operating situations to be found along a railway
line (dierent types of rails, 60E1 etc. with dierent ange heights and widths, dierent types of clips, sleepers
and chairs. For this reason, before use, some initial adjustment will be required to dene the correct machine
setup during work.
Follow the following preliminary adjustments:
4.8.1) Adjusting the height of the front of the machine
Fully lower the machine so it is resting on the
sleeper.
Line up the side of the machine so that the
clamp unit is parallel with the upper surface of
the railhead. If this is not the case, adjust knob
(44) on the carriage (Ref. to Fig.11).
To lift the machine turn knob (44) anti-clocwise.
To lower the machine turn it clockwise.
The measuring scale will facilitate adjustment
by precisely dening the correct position of the
machine.
4.8.2) Stable support of both insertion teeth
Both insertion teeth (40) must be supported equally on the surface of the sleeper. If this is not the case, proceed
to vertically adjust the machine by turning the support wheel on the 3rd wheel bar (47):
Lower the machine completely with the teeth resting on the surface of the sleeper.
Unscrew the quick release handle (48).
Lower or raise the bar (49) to change the vertical angle of the machine and achieve correct alignment.
After making adjustments, fully retighten handle (48).

4.8.3) Adjusting the piston for lifting sleepers
Procedure to be carried out on the clip in the "installation position".
When manually adjusting the lifting piston ensure THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF.
The lifting piston must be adjusted correctly using the supplied gauge, otherwise the machine could
break the insulators or insert the clips Incorrectly.
Turn the clamp control selector (15) to the “OUT” position; press button (16) repeatedly with short pulses to
put the clamps into contact with the clips already in the “installation position”.
Make sure that the lifting piston (27) is fully up in the starting position.
Place the Height Setting Device (HSD) (35) from the magnetic side on top of the rail in correspondence with
the piston. With a 17 mm wrench, block the piston (27) and loosen
the nut (D) with a 18 mm wrench.
Rotate the threaded rod so that the foot is resting on
the gauge and then tighten the nut (D) again.
Remove the HSD (35) and put it back
in its seat.
4.8.4) Adjusting the clamp position
Procedure to be carried out on the clip in "parked position".
Start the engine (see § 7).
Push the machine so that it is in line with the clip to be operated on
(see § 4.3).
Position the clamps with the insertion teeth (40) in the open position
(Ref. to Fig. 13b).
Turn the clamp control selector (15) to the “OUT” position.
Press button (16) repeatedly with short pulses to make the clamps
slowly advance towards the clips.
Bring the correctly centred insertion teeth into contact with the clip without the clips being inserted.
Press and hold button (14) to memorise the position.
Three worklight ashes conrm that the position has been saved.
Turn the clamp control selector (15) back to the "IN" position.

4.9) Operation
Before use, always check:
Integrity of the machine.
The correct coupling of the units making up the machine.
Correct connection of the quick couplings and braking system.
Correct level of oil in pump.
For any oil leaks in the hydraulic circuit (hoses, pump).
Flexible hoses are in good condition and show no signs of wear or crushing.
Protection devices in the clamp areas are rm and show no signs of damage.
That the engine fuel tank cap is tight. Petrol is highly inammable and can explode.
When manually adjusting the clamps ensure THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF.
Start the engine (see § 7).
4.9.1) Inserting clips
Make sure the locking knob (39) of the rear wheel is released (see § 4.3).
An "Insertion operation" means (see § 4.5,§ 4.6,and § 4.7):
1 - Moving from “parking position” to “installation position”.
2 - Moving from “insulator change position” to “installation position”.
Push the machine to the clips on which operations are to be performed (see § 4.3).
IMPORTANT: when performing the rst insertion operation, the correct stroke of the rams will have to
be established so the clips are positioned precisely (see § 5.1).
Ensure that the clamps are open.
Lower the machine completely, resting the teeth (40) on the surface of the sleeper (Ref. to Fig. 12).
Adjust the upper and lower rings as described in § 5.
Turn the clamp control selector (15) to the insertion position “IN”.
Press the clamp operation button (13) to make the teeth advance (40), bringing the clip into the“installation
position”.
Once the insertion has been completed, the clamps are retracted automatically.
Lift the machine, move to the next clips and repeat the above operations.

18
4.9.2) Extracting clips
Make sure the locking knob (39) of the rear wheel is released (see § 4.3).
An "Extraction operation" means (see § 4.5,§ 4.6,and § 4.7):
1 - Moving from “installation position” to “parking position”.
2 - Moving from “installation position” to “insulator change position”.
3 - In exceptional cases, the complete extraction of the clip.
Push the machine to the clips on which operations are to be performed (see § 4.3).
IMPORTANT: when performing the rst extraction operation, the correct stroke of the rams will have to
be established so the clips are positioned precisely (see § 5.2).
Turn the teeth (40) to the extraction position (Ref. to Fig. 14).
Mount the track spacer (41), adjusting it based on the type of rail and insulator (see § 4.9.3).
Turn the clamp control selector (15) to the extraction position “OUT”.
Turn the lower ring nuts on each side to adjust the extraction stroke.
Turn the upper ring nuts used for the insertion of the clips, to prevent the tooth from scraping the rail web.
Press the clamp operation button (13) to make the teeth advance (40), bringing the clips to the “parked
position”.
Once the extraction is complete, the clamps are retracted automatically (while still holding down the clamp
operation button (13)).
Lift the machine, move on to the next clips and repeat the above extraction operations (avoid lifting over the
railhead with the extraction teeth).
4.9.3) Adjusting the contrast foot for extraction
There are two operations for adjusting the track spacers (Ref. to Fig. 15):
Attach the track spacers to the machine, keeping the reference number
corresponding to the width of the rail ange facing the rail.
Locate its xing screw so the track spacer is closest to the side post insulator.
With these adjustments it is possible to operate on many track layouts.
If not suitable for the particular application required, contact Cembre.

5.1) Adjusting the piston stroke for clip insertion
The upper ring nut establishes the piston stroke when the clamp is advancing towards the rail during clip
installation. To adjust, proceed as follows:
Turn the upper ring nut of one piston so as to bring the reference line to an intermediate position on the
graduated scale (Ref. to Fig. 16).
The reference line corresponds with the end of the ring nut.
Carry out a clip insertion (see § 4.9.1) and check the position of the clip.
The“installation”position is dierent depending on the type of clip, normally they should be at a safe distance
(x) from the edge of the spacer insulator (Ref. to Fig. 17), except where stated otherwise.
If this is not the case, to increase the distance (X) during insertion, unscrew the upper ring nut towards zero,
then re-try insertion. Conversely to reduce the distance (X), tighten the upper ring nut towards the number
three. Several attempts may be necessary to obtain the exact clip position, using the graduated scale to make
ne and exact adjustments.
Having found the exact adjustment for one piston, position the ring nut of the other piston at the same value
on the graduated scale.
The lower ring nut establishes the piston stroke when the clamp is returning towards the starting position.
To adjust, proceed as follows;
Tightenthe lowerringnut ofone pistontowardsthenumber threetoreduce theclamp opening(Ref.toFig.16).
Unscrew the lower ring nut of one piston towards zero to increase the clamp opening (Ref. to Fig. 16).

5.2) Adjusting the stroke for clip extraction
When manually adjusting the clamps ensure
THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF.
If the machine has been running the Exhaust may be
very hot, beware when using the Starting Cable.
The lower ring nut establishes the piston stroke during extrac-
tion. To adjust proceed as follows:
Turn the lower ring nut of one piston so as to bring the
reference line to an intermediate position on the graduated
scale (Ref. to Fig. 16).
The reference line corresponds with the end of the ring
nut.
Pull and turn knob (34), release extraction tooth (40) and prepare it for extraction (Ref. to Fig. 18).
Fully lower the machine in correspondence with the clip (Ref. to Fig. 14 & 15).
Once the exact adjustment has been found on one piston, position the ring nut on the other piston at the
same value on the graduated scale.
5.2.1) Parked position
Carry out a clip extraction (see § 4.9.2) and check the position of the clip.
In the “parked position”the cap on the clip should normally be at a predened distance (X) from the edge of
the spacer insulator (Ref. to Fig. 19), except where stated otherwise.
If this is not the case, to increase the distance (X) during extraction, unscrew the lower ring nut towards zero,
then re-try extraction. Conversely to reduce the distance (X), tighten the lower ring nut towards the number
three. Several attempts may be necessary to obtain the exact clip position, using the graduated scale to make
ne and exact adjustments.
Once you have found the exact adjustment for one piston, position the ring nut of the other piston at the
same value on the graduated scale.
5.2.2) Insulator change position
Follow the instructions in § 5.2.1 being careful to adjust the lower ring nut to increase the piston stroke, thereby
favouring greater retraction of the clip.
For the FE clip further increase the piston stroke, facilitating the complete release of the clip.
