PISTON. The PCMD-FC is extremely versatile and adaptable to the many operating situations to be found along a railway line (diff erent types of rails, 60E1 etc. with diff erent fl ange heights and widths, diff erent types of clips, sleepers and chairs. -
Page 16: Adjusting The Piston For Lifting Sleepers
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. -
Page 17: Operation
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. -
Page 18: Extracting Clips
Locate its fi 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. -
Page 19: Adjusting The Piston Stroke
5. ADJUSTING THE PISTON STROKE 5.1) Adjusting the piston stroke for clip insertion FIG. 16 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. -

Page 23: Starting The Engine
7. STARTING THE ENGINE If the machine has been running the Exhaust may be very hot, beware when using the Starting Cable. The machine is equipped with an automatic accelera- tor which serves to accelerate the combustion engine to bring it to different engine speeds according to the different work phases. -
Page 24: Maintenance
– Move button (17) to "ON". – Earth the side electrode then pull the starting cable and check to see if the plug produces a spark. If the engine still fails to start, contact Cembre (see § 9). 8. MAINTENANCE All electrical and mechanical maintenance shall only be carried out by authorised persons in accordance with a safe system of work and Cembre instructions. -
Page 25: Maintenance Of Clamp Unit
Before every use: Check rear wheel for resistance, it should not be free rotating. Ensure wheel is clean, removing any dirt or mud. Check for signs of damage. Every 6 months: Check for excessive braking on wheel. It should roll along rail when pushed but will slide if excessive braking occurs. -
Page 26: Topping Up The Oil In The Hydraulic Pump
8.1.3) Topping up the oil in the hydraulic pump Periodically check the oil level in the hydraulic pump tank. If the level is low, top it up: Remove and lift the cap, check that the level of oil is between the two notches on the dipstick, if it is lower add the quantity of oil necessary (Ref. -
Page 27: Changing The Gas Springs
8.1.6) Changing the gas springs Replace the gas springs when required as follows: On both sites loosen screws (A) with an 8 mm Allen key and screws (B) with a 6 mm Allen key then remove the casing (Ref. to Fig. 27). Unlock the arm in order to extend the springs (Ref . -
