MANUAL BEFORE USING
THE TRACK-O
GENERAL SAFETY AND USE OF A TRACK-O
OPERATOR TRAINING REQUIRED
The employer must ensure that each operator of the TRACK-O has the skills to use
it safely, after receiving full training and assessment by a qualified person.
It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that each operator has successfully
completed the required training.
Any user of a Track-O must know and master the basic principles of safety and use
of this device before using it.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Check the general condition of the Track-O, and if you see any anomaly, do share
them with your technical representative or anyone who can provide you technical
support (supplier or manufacturer).
The Track-o is very stable and highly reliable, please do not take any unnecessary
risk when operating this device.
Any reckless operation should be prohibited.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE:
Make sure the route to take is free from objects and surfaces that are free from
grease and/or lubricants which may result in a reduced friction tracks. Also,
please make sure that the route to take do not require special protection if
restricted area.
Ensure that borrowing passages support the total load to be moved.
Never leave the unit where harmful.
The Track-O must not to be set in motion while the cable for recharging the
battery is still plugged in.
Ban all uses of the Track-O in an atmosphere containing a hazardous concentration
of acetylene, butadiene, ethylene oxide, hydrogen (or hazardous gases such as
manufactured gas), propylene oxide, of acetaldehyde, cyclopropane, diethyl
ether, ethylene, isoprene or unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH)
Ban all uses of the Track-o in a room where the atmosphere contains a harmful
concentration of metal dust including aluminum, magnesium and their commercial
alloys, other metals with similar hazardous properties, or in a room which
atmosphere contains carbon black, coal or coke dust.
The Track-O will function in temperatures between -25°C and + 40°C ( -13°F and
+ 104°F )
In case of failure or doubt concerning the use of the Track-O, please contact your
supplier. Do not take any risk to avoid any severe or fatal injury.
Never use the Track-O in water. It is not amphibious.
As part of the use of several Track-O at once in one place, operators must hold
approximately three lengths margin of safety equipment, and especially extra
careful in checking their gear perfectly.

BEFORE EACH HANDLING OPERATION WITH A TRACK-O:
Ensure that the load being moved is within the limits of weight recommended by
the manufacturer, depending on the model used, and this, as well as on flat
surface as inclined surface.
Ensure that the load is securely attached through the anchor eyelet.
Make sure the path does not have a bank angle greater than 15 degrees, and a
pitch or steeper than 40 degrees.
Never hesitate to do a dry run in order to best anticipate the space available to
maneuver.
DURING EACH HANDLING OPERATION WITH A TRACK-O:
Never use both remotes (wired and wireless) at the same time. One is enough and
may prefer the wireless remote (optional) for convenience.
Never stand downstream (below) the Track-O, but either side for wired remote
safe convoy, or outright upstream (above) of the convoy through the wireless
remote. This applies to both the operator and others in attendance in the scope of
the maneuver.
Never place hands near the track as the switch is turned OFF and the unit is not
completely still.
In all case, never stand below the Track-o and its load. If the load was to fall you
could be severely or mortally injured.
Before engaging the unit in an inclined, double check if the straps and anchor
points are in good condition and the unit responds well to the remote on the flat
surface.

AFTER EACH HANDLING OPERATION WITH A TRACK-O:
At the end of each use, power off the Track-O by pushing the emergency button on
the electrical panel. If you have a wireless remote, power off the remote by
pressing the emergency button on remote. Also, turn off the emergency stop on
the control panel.
Remember to keep the remote in the compartment.
Check the charge level of the Track-O, and if necessary, put in charge for the next
use.

4 MOVING THE TRACK-O
By pressing gently the “Forward”or “Back”
buttons, you can move the Track-O slowly:
putting more pressure on the buttons will make
the Track-O accelerate the movement.
The direction buttons allow left or right
movements of the Track-O. Light pressure allows
for a simple curve, increased pressure for a
tighter curve.
Simultaneous pressure of both “Forward” and
“Back” buttons and direction button will create a
wide curve in the desired direction.
5 INCLINOMETERS
The degrees of tilt during movements are
represented by the Track-O’s integrated
inclinometers.
The green area indicates the comfort zone.
The red areas indicate a no-work zone.
Maximum longitudinal tilt: 40°
Maximum lateral tilt: 15°
WARNING

BACK
Always put Front-end on the elevated part of an inclined
surface.

6 WORKING ANGLES
When the Track-O is used on rough terrain or
covered with vegetation, safety skates should
be installed.
The skates are kept in the storage
compartment.
These pads fit into the side cavity of the cab to
ensure the stability of the Track-O in case of
unexpected side tilt due to uneven terrain.
The skates can be removed to clear obstacles
such as stumps. However, this manoeuvre can
be performed only when the Track-O is
perfectly stable. The skates should be
reinstalled after obstacles are cleared.
Note: The skates have a print: they are
associated with the specific side (Right and
Left).

7 CONFIGURATION OF THE TRACK-O BOX
The Track-O box can be configured to carry
securely several types of transformers.
The sides can be removed if needed to allow the
cooling radiators to be loaded on the Track-O
box.

OPERATING MANUAL
Page 14 of 19
8 SECURING THE TRANSFORMER
Securely place the transformer against the
support.
Ensure that the adapter is required to properly
shoulder the transformer to the support. The
adapter is set on the existing support to allow a
better clearance for certain types of transformer.
Note: This adapter is generally used for
very old transformers.
Secure the transformer using with the ratchet
belt tensioners provided for this use.

OPERATING MANUAL

9 POSITIONING THE CAPSTAN - STORAGE MODE
The capstan has four positions: Two working
positions, one position for troubleshooting and
one position for storage.
Storage mode (used when carrying the Track-O to
a site).
10 POSITIONING THE CAPSTAN -
TROUBLESHOOTING MODE
The vertical position of the capstan can only be
used during repair/troubleshooting mode, i.e.:
To free the Track-O when bogged down or
whenever deemed necessary.
11 POSITIONING THE CAPSTAN -WORK MODE
Positioning the capstan-work mode :
1. Remove the retaining rod.
2. Slide the capstan sideway and tilt it
horizontally to the desired side.
3. Replace the retaining rod.

OPERATING MANUAL
Page 16 of 19
12 RETENTION MECHANISM FOR SLIPPERY GROUND
The retaining mechanism is used as needed to
stabilize the Track-O on slippery surfaces such as
ice, when using the capstan.
Retaining cylinders can be used in two ways,
directly on the chassis of the automotive Track-O
or on the safety skates
Lower the jacks so they lightly touch the ground,
without over lifting the Track-O.
13 INSTALLATION TO THE POLE
The capstan of the Track-O must be used at any
time with a pulley attached to the pole.
The capstan lever must be aligned as much as
possible with the cable axis.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT move the Track-O when the
winch is in use.

OPERATING MANUAL

14 CONNNECTING THE CAPSTAN TO THE TRACK-O
Connecting the capstan to the Track-O :
1. Connect the pedal power cable to the capstan
2. Activate the inverter to power AC electrical
outlets The LED on the inverter will stay on for
4 hours. To reactivate it after this period, put
the switch to “OFF”and then switch back to
“ON”position.
3. Connect the other part of the cable (equipped
with a pedal) to the 120V outlet on the control
panel of the Track-O.
