DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS 1. DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS These driving instructions are valid for Lokotrack ST4.8 and Lokotrack ST4.10. The purpose of these instructions is to enable safe moving of the machine during transportation. NOTICE: Do not use the machine for screening solely based on these instructions. The actual instruction manual for the machine is delivered separately.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT HAZARD Can cause death or serious injury. Be extremely cautious when driving in cold temperatures below 0°C (32°F). The response time of the controls might be longer than usual due to stiff hydraulic oil. WARNING! COLLISION HAZARD Can cause death or serious injury.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS 1.3. EMERGENCY STOP LOCATIONS DANGER! GENERAL HAZARD Will cause death or serious injury. In a dangerous situation, stop the machine with the emergency stop button, the key switch of the machine, or with the remote stop button (located on either the drive control device, radio control device, or track drive radio remote control).
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS 1.4. REMOTE STOP LOCATION DANGER! GENERAL HAZARD Will cause death or serious injury. In a dangerous situation, stop the machine with the emergency stop button, the key switch of the machine, or with the remote stop button. Before starting the machine, make sure you know the location of the emergency stop buttons.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS 1.5. DRIVE CONTROLS 1.5.1. DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE WARNING!

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 8: Main control panel location (on the right side of the machine) Callout Description Selector switch for track driving speed: SLOW “Turtle” / NORMAL “Rabbit” (only for machines with Constant Speed Engine (CSE)) Work lights ON/OFF: This function is optional. Radio control mode ON/OFF: ON position activates the radio control mode (and deactivates the drive control device).
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS 1.6.1. INCREASING THE GROUND CLEARANCE CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD Can cause moderate injury or property damage. If the machine is in the transport position and it needs to be driven up or down a steep surface (for example a ramp), there may be a need to slightly unfold the bottom deck side conveyor and adjust the screen angle to avoid damage to the machine.
Page 14
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Unfolding the bottom deck side conveyor 1. Before unfolding the bottom deck side conveyor, you can open the hand rails, if needed. The locking pins are attached to the hand rail with a chain. Figure 11: Opening the hand rail A: Remove the locking pin.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 15: Manual valve for unfolding the bottom deck side conveyor Raising the screen 1. Using the Screen UP-DOWN control (4), raise the screen angle slightly by moving the screen angle control to the RAISE position. Raise the screen angle enough to relieve the pressure on the adjustment sleeves (1) and locking pins (2).

Remove the screen box angle adjusting clips and locking pins (2) from the adjustment sleeves (1). 3. Using the Screen UP-DOWN control (4), raise the screen angle by moving the screen angle control to the RAISE position.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 18: Manual valves ON/OFF push button WARNING! COLLISION HAZARD Can cause death or serious injury. Always drive the machine in transport position on flat surfaces. Right after the increased ground clearance is not needed anymore, lower the screen back to the transport position and attach the locking pins.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 19: Main switch in ON position 3. Locate the main control panel. 4. Turn the control panel key switch clockwise to position 1 (ON). Figure 20: Control panel key switch ON a. Wait for 45 seconds. The control system starts up and the display shows ‘Engine starting is enabled’.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 21: Fuel level 6. Start the engine by pressing and holding the Engine start/stop button. The machine gives an acoustic warning signal before it starts. Release the Engine start/stop button when the engine is running. If the engine does not start, see “Troubleshooting”. Figure 22: Engine start/stop button 7.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 23: Driving socket location NOTICE: • If a fault is detected in the connection of the drive control device plug to the socket, an alarm is displayed on the control panel. To acknowledge the alarm, disconnect and reconnect the drive control device plug.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 25: Radio control position 1 (ON) 1.9. DRIVING 1.9.1. DRIVING WITH DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE CAUTION! PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD Can cause moderate injury or property damage. Be extremely cautious when driving the machine onto a ramp. Make sure that the ramp is properly positioned, in perfect technical order and can support the weight of the machine.

NOTICE: If there is a malfunction that is preventing the track driving, it must be fixed before proceeding. If necessary, contact Metso Outotec. In a problem situation, check if there are any active alarms. 1. From the main view, check if the alarm indicator (1) is red or grey.
Page 34
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS If the alarm indicator (1) is red, proceed to the next step. Figure 39: Main view 2. See the list field (5) for alarm descriptions. By tapping any row, you get specific information about the alarm/warning. You do not need to acknowledge alarms or warnings. They will change inactive automatically after the cause has been fixed.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Callout Description Maximum level Minimum level Figure 42: Hydraulic oil level 2. Make sure that coolant level is between the MIN and MAX markings. Add coolant, if necessary. Figure 43: Engine coolant level indicator 3. If neither refilling the hydraulic oil nor engine coolant does not solve the problem, consider arranging help from a third party, for example a hoist, crane, or another vehicle which could be used for moving the machine to more even ground.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Callout Description Maximum level Minimum level Figure 44: Hydraulic oil level 2. Inspect the machine visually for leaks. 3. If needed, repair the leak and refill. 4. Make sure that the inclination angle of the machine is not too large. See “Preparing for driving” and "Correcting too large inclination angle of the machine".
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 45: Location of hydraulic shut-off valve 1.12.17. RECOVERING FROM TOO HIGH HYDRAULIC OIL TEMPERATURE If the hydraulic oil temperature is too high, a message “A6: Process running prevented: Too high hydraulic oil temperature“ or “A3: Engine running prevented: Too high hydraulic oil temperature“ is displayed in the message field on the top left corner of the main control panel display.
NOTICE: If the hydraulic oil temperature rises repeatedly too high, the root cause must be solved. If needed, contact Metso Outotec. 1.12.18. CHECKING IF MANUAL CONTROLS ARE ACTIVE If manual controls are active, a message “W53: Track drive not allowed: Manual controls are active“ is displayed in the message field on the top left corner of the main control panel display.
