6.3 Commissioning
6.3.1 Prior to commissioning
Prior to first-time commissioning (after transport or storage),
check the general external condition of the machine:
1. Check for presence and legibility of identification plate
and safety labels.
2. Check the outside and the underside of the engine for
signs of oil or fuel leaks.
3. Remove excessive dirt or foreign bodies, in particular
near to the muffler and the recoil starter.
4. Look for signs of damage, e.g. cracks and breaks.
5. Check if all guards and covers are fitted and all nuts
and screws have been tightened.
– If the engine is not in perfect condition, do not start
the engine but instead restore normal condition and/or
inform maintenance personnel.
During the first hours of operation,
it is possible for the spindle to
rotate, even if the actuation
switch is released. This is because
the electromechanical brake
must first get run in.
6.3.2 Daily commissioning
Before each daily commissioning (start-up), check the engine
for fuel and consumables before each operation.
1. Check the fuel level of the engine at regular intervals
and fill in if necessary (see Chapter 6.12.1 “Check and
fill in fuel” on page 33).
2. Check the engine oil level and fill up if necessary (see
Chapter 6.12.2 “Check and fill in engine oil” on page 34).

injuries, broken bones or even
the severing of body parts,
i.e. hands and feet.
–Always use 4 people to lift the
machine.
–Always wear protective gloves,
protective shoes and protective
clothing.
The trolley does not have any
brakes and must therefore never
be left by the operator unsuper-
vised because, if parked on a
gradient, it could start to roll
away. For this reason, always
chock the wheels sufficiently to
prevent it from rolling away.
When placing the machine on the trolley. Always follow
these instructions:
1. Place the trolley (with 3 or 4 wheels) on the tracks
(see Chapter 6.4 “Placing the trolley on the railway

6.7 Correct operation of the machine
Before tightening the bolts,
check the machine torque against
the rotational controller on the
control panel and correct if
necessary.
Incorrect setting of the torque
can cause the sleeper bolts to be
tightened incorrectly, and they
may even break off.
The trolley for the machine does
not have any brakes and must
therefore never be left by the
operator unsupervised because,
if parked on a gradient, it could
start to roll away. For this reason,
always chock the wheels suffi-
ciently to prevent it from rolling
away.
The clockwise direction of rotation
is used to tighten. The anti-clock-
wise direction of rotation is used
to loosen.
The display of operating hours
continues to run with each oper-
ation of the machine and cannot
be reset. It is therefore advisable
to keep a log of the operating
hours status to keep track of
scheduled maintenance work.
Follow these instructions to assure correct operation of the
machine:
1. Start the engine (see Chapter 6.6 “Starting the machine”
on page 28).
2. Run the machine at idle speed for 2–3 minutes until it

6.12.1 Check and fill in fuel
Risk of fire!
Petrol is combustible and readily
flammable. Therefore, if it comes
into contact with ignition sources,
hot surfaces or naked flames,
there is a risk of explosion and
fire and the possibility of very
serious burn injuries or even
fatalities.
–Before fill in fuel into the tank,
leave the engine for long
enough to cool down properly.
–––––Never fill in fuel near ignition
sources or naked flames and
always provide sufficient ven-
tilation.
Petrol is a water hazard. If it
enters the soil, it can pollute
ground water and cause environ-
mentally hazardous substances
to enter the food chain.
–Do not refuel at locations whe-
re fuel can be spilled into the
surrounding earth.
––––Catch all escaping fuel in sui-
table containers and
dispose of it properly.
Do not run the tank until empty.
Instead, refuel once the level in
the tank runs low. This will assure
a long life time for the machine
and will help to prevent mechani-
cal damage. Check fuel level prior
to every start-up.
32 33
Follow these instructions when removing the machine from
the railway track.
1. Shut down the machine (see Chapter 6.8.2 “Switching off
the machine in a normal case“ on page 31).
2. Remove the machine from the trolley.
a. Use 4 people to lift the machine, each holding
a lifting handle, and remove it from the trolley.
b. With appropriate lifting gear (e.g. a fork truck,
crane etc.) using the lifting point and remove
it from the trolley.
3. Set the machine down on pallets or shelves. Never
store it directly on the ground or directly against walls
to prevent the ingress of damp.
4. Remove the trolley from the track and set it down in a
safe location.
– Observe provisions for transport (see Chapter 5.2
“Carrying out transport” on page 22).
6.10 Replacing socket wrench insert
Only use size 1” socket wrench
inserts on this machine that
comply with UNI ISO 2725-2

Risk of injury!
Any contact between limbs and
the rotating spindle can cause
serious injuries. During the first
few hours of operation, it is
possible for the spindle to rotate
even if the actuating button is
released. This is because the
electromechanical brake takes
some time to get run in.
–Only ever replace the socket
wrench insert while the engine
is switched off.
Follow these instructions when replacing the socket wrench
insert:
1. Shut down the machine (see Chapter 6.8.2 “Switching off
the machine in a normal case“ on page 31).
2. Unfasten clamping ring and pull pin out of the

6.12.2 Check and fill in engine oil
Mineral-based engine oil is a
water hazard. If it enters the soil,
it can contaminate the ground
water and can cause environ-
mentally hazardous materials to
enter the food chain.
–Do not fill in engine oil at loca-
tions where it may be spilled
and soak into the ground.
–Catch all escaping engine oil
with appropriate containers
and dispose of it properly.
Once a low level of engine oil is
reached, it must be filled up. Only
ever use engine oil in the engine.
Only use wash-active motor
vehicle oil, type SAE 10W-30, that
meets the requirements of API
service class SJ, SL or an equiva-
lent class.
Do not mix different engine oils.
Check the engine fill level prior
to each commissioning process
in order to prevent damage or
engine defects.
34 35
Before filling the engine with fuel, follow these instructions:
– Always use unleaded petrol with a research octane
figure (ROZ) of at least 91 or an engine octane figure
(MOZ) of at least 86.
– It is possible to use unleaded petrol with a maximum
10% ethanol content (E10) or a 5% methanol content.
The methanol must contain a solvent agent and a
corrosion inhibitor. The use of fuels with a higher ethanol
or methanol content can cause starting difficulties and
can impair performance. In addition, metal, rubber and
plastic components in the fuel system may get damaged.
Damage to the engine or impaired performance resulting
from the use of fuels with high ethanol and methanol
contents than quoted is not covered by the warranty.
– Only refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
switched off. If the engine was in operation immediately
beforehand, give it time to cool down properly. Never
refuel the engine inside a building where petrol fumes
may come into contact with flames or sparks.
– Never use old or contaminated petrol or an oil-petrol
mixture.
– Prevent the ingress of dirt or water into the tank.
– Refuel carefully to prevent fuel from overflowing.
– If any petrol does overflow, wipe it away immediately.
When checking and fill in the engine with fuel, always follow
these instructions:
1. Shut down the machine (see Chapter 6.8.2 “Switching
off machine in a normal case” on page 31) and leave it
for long enough to cool down.
2. Position the machine so that the engine is in a horizontal
position and secure the machine to prevent it from
toppling over.
3. Open the tank cover at the refueling aperture in the
tank (see Figure 33: Relevant elements for refueling
with fuel).
4. Insert a suitable funnel in this aperture and fill in with
petrol until the maximum fill level is reached.
– The maximum fill level is reached once the tank has been
filled as far as the lower edge of the refill aperture.
5. Close the tank cover again firmly.
When checking and filling up the engine oil, follow these
instructions:
1. Shut down the machine (see Chapter 6.8.2 “Switching
off machine in a normal case“ on page 31) and let it
cool down.
2. Position the machine so that the engine is in a horizon-
tal position and secure the machine to prevent it from
toppling over.
3. If necessary, clean oil filler cover and its surrounding
area.
4. Open the oil filler cover .
5. Clean the dipstick with a suitable cloth, then close
the oil filler cover without screwing it down, then pull
it back out again.
6. Read off the fill level on the dipstick. The fill level must
fall between the upper and lower lines.
– If the level drops below a minimum level, fill up the
engine oil.
7. If necessary, fill up engine oil through a suitable funnel
until the fill level lies between the upper and lower lines
on the dipstick. Wait for 1 minute, then check the level
again, once the engine oil has had time to settle. When
doing this, ensure that no engine oil overflows. The
maximum fill level is reached once the tank has been
filled to the lower edge of the oil filler neck.
8. Hand-tighten the oil filler cover . When doing this,
ensure that you do not over tighten the oil filler cover in
order to prevent damage.

lubricated.
During maintenance work, if
components such as gears
and bearings etc. need to be
replaced, fresh lubrication of
the affected parts is required
through the grease nipples pro-
vided for this purpose.
The machine contains gears, bushes and bearings that need
to be properly lubricated for the machine to operate. The
manufacturer has already applied this lubrication.
After 40 working hours, the machine must be lubricated
once again with EP00 (80-100 ml). For this, grease nipples
are provided on the machine.
The following pictures shows where the grease nipples
located:

6.13 Check and clean the air filter
The air filter must be checked
and, if necessary, be cleaned be-
fore every commissioning opera-
tion in order to prevent damage
or an engine defect. If the air
filter is dirty, this obstructs the
air flow to the carburetor which
in turn reduces engine power.
Follow these instructions when checking and cleaning the
air filter.
1. Shut down the machine (see Chapter 6.8.2 “Switching
off machine in a normal case” on page 31) and let it cool
down.
2. Position the machine so that the engine is in a horizon-
tal position and secure the machine to prevent it from
toppling over.
3. Unfasten the lock nut on the air filter cover (see
Figure 36: Unscrewing and removing the lock nut).
4. Pull off and remove the air filter cover (see Figure 38:
Removing the air filter cover).
5. Pull off and remove the foam filter element (see
Figure 38: Removing the foam filter element).
6. If necessary, wipe dirt off air filter housing and cover with
a damp cloth. Ensure while doing so that no dirt enters
the carburetor.
7. Clean the paper filter insert.
– Knock out the filter insert several times on a hard
surface to remove the dust, or
– blow out the filter insert with compressed air
(not more than 207 kPa/2.1 kgf/cm).
– Never try to remove the dirt with a brush because
this would cause the dirt to penetrate the fibres.
8. Cleaning the foam filter insert:
a Clean with warm soapy water, rinse and then dry
thoroughly, or clean in a non-flammable solvent
and leave it to dry.
b Dip the filter insert in clean engine oil and squeeze
out the surplus oil.
– If too much oil is left in the foam, the engine
will smoke when it is being started.
c Replace the foam filter element with a new one if
soiling is excessive or if it is damaged.
9. Reassemble the air filter in reverse order.
