4.1 Operating conditions

4.1.1 The operator's work area

The operator's work area Ref. Ⓣ is inside two vertical limits (between the two rails), defined
by gauge UIC 505-1 (See §2.5 "Position of the machine in the gauge").

4.1.2 Starting and stopping the machine

Refer to the engine constructor's instructions for information on the position of the elements
to be turned on and off for starting up and stopping the engine.
The engine must only be started and stopped (normal operating conditions) when the
grinding head is vertical and there is a space of at least 3 mm between the rail and the
grinding wheel.
Start-up:
• Check that the remote engine stop button Ref. ① is in position 1.
• Start the engine, let it idle for a few moments until the speed is stabilized and the
engine starts to warm up.
• Once the engine is hot, increase its speed by moving the accelerator handle Ref. ② up
to the end-stop (preset in our works).
Stopping the machine:
• Move the grinding wheel about 3 mm away from the rail.
• Reduce engine speed by returning the accelerator Ref. ② to low
speed (idling speed).
• Stop the engine, by pushing down the remote engine stop button Ref.
① to one of the two 0 positions.
THE MACHINE MUST ONLY BE STARTED UP AFTER IT HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE RAILS
