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 fi rm and show no signs of damage.
That the engine fuel tank cap is tight. Petrol is highly infl 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 fi 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.
