System For Transport By Inflatable Wheel; Rollers For Buried Grooved Rails; Power Take-Off - GEISMAR STUMEC MC3 Manual

6.1.4 System for transport by inflatable wheel

To simplify transport on worksites and reduce the number of persons required, an inflatable wheel system
Ref. ① can be adapted to the machine. The inflatable wheel makes it possible to cross tracks and get to
the work site even under difficult conditions.
The system's switchover to "work" or "transport" mode is done manually and the wheel is locked in
position using a captive pin.

6.1.5 Rollers for buried grooved rails

Roller system Ref. ② for using the machine on flat-bottomed rails and buried grooved rails (up
to 50 mm).

6.1.6 Power take-off

Two operators MUST be present when the flexible grinding unit is used on machines fitted with a power take-off Ref. ③ ③ ③ ③ . One operator must
keep control over the machine, whilst the other carries out grinding operations with the portable grinding-head.
The engine MUST be stopped before any intervention is carried out on the grinding wheel or the flexible drive.
Using the machine with the flexible drive MUST ONLY take place with the machine off the rails.
Fitting the flexible drive:
Raise the grinding head using the height adjustment hand wheel.
3
Place the grinding head vertically so that the power take-off is accessible. Remove the protective cap on the power
take-off and then attach the flexible transmission drive.
Starting the motor:
Irrespective of whether the flexible drive is fitted with a clutch or not (compulsory for use in the EC), the power
take-off requires two operators to be present. After the first operator has attached the tool selected, he must take hold
of the grinding wheel holder and wait for the machine to be started up by the second operator. He must not put the
tool holder on the ground before the second operator has completely stopped the motor. As long as the motor is
running, one of the operators must remain beside it and stop it immediately should any incident whatsoever occur.
Precautions for use:
When grinding, take all necessary precautions to avoid sending jets of sparks towards the second operator who
MUST wear glasses and gloves.
Do not bend or twist the flexible drive excessively as this is liable to damage the transmission system and even lead
to accidents, should it break suddenly as a result of incorrect use.
After the motor has been stopped the flexible drive must be removed and the power take-off protective cap put back
in place. To continue work, put the machine back on the rails before carrying out any other operations.
