RAIL MASTER SWITCH
THIS SWITCH MUST BE OPERATED FOR ALL RAIL-MOUNTED OPERATIONS.
WHEN OPERATED THE SWITCH MAKES THE RAIL DRIVE AND RAIL AXLE
CONTROL SWITCHES AND STEERING LOCK SYSTEM ACTIVE. IT ALSO
ACTIVATES THE RAIL NAVIGATION LIGHTS AND GEAR RESTRICTION SYSTEM.
[WARNING] NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE ON TRACK WITH OUT THE RAIL
MODE SWITCH ACTIVE. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS REQUIREMENT WILL
RESULT IN THE RAIL SAFETY SYSTEMS ON THE MACHINE BEING INACTIVE AND
CAN RESULT IN EXCESSIVE SPEED BEING REACHED WHEN TRAVELLING ON
RAIL AND POTENTIAL DE-RAIL OCCURRING RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH AND SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE AND MACHINE.
AUXILIARY CONTROL LEVER

THIS SWITCH CHANGES BETWEEN FORWARD AND REAR RAIL GEAR WHEN
RAISING AND LOWERING THE WHEELS. HOLDING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE

TO OPERATE THE GEAR SELECTOR THE BUTTON ON THE TOP NEEDS TO BE
PRESSED AND HELD IN BEFORE IT WILL SELECT A GEAR. PUSH THE LEVER
FORWARD INTO THE ‘V’ POSITION TO SELECT FORWARD TRAVEL OR PULL
BACK INTO THE ‘R’ POSITION FOR REVERSE TRAVEL.
