6. STARTING THE ENGINE
– Move the stop button (06) (see § 4.3) to "ON"
position (see Fig. 18a).
The engine will not start unless the
red button (06) is lifted.
– Move the fuel cock to "ON" position
(see Fig. 18b).
– Move the air lever to "CLOSE" position
(see Fig. 18b).
Do not use the air lever if the engine is hot and
the air temperature is high enough.
– Move the accelerator control lever (04) to mid
stroke (see Fig. 18c).
– Start the engine by pulling the starting cable un-
til a certain resistance is felt and then pull with
force (see Fig. 18d).
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the cable knob to
return forcefully and knock against the engine.
Return this slowly to its original position. This
will prevent damage to the starting device.
– As the engine heats up, gradually move the air
lever to "OPEN" position (see Fig. 18b).
– Move the accelerator control lever (04) fully for-
ward to achieve the correct rpm (see Fig. 18c).
– To stop the engine in emergency condition,
press button (06).
– To stop the engine in normal conditions:
move the accelerator control lever (04) fully back.
Press the button (06).
Move the fuel cock to "OFF".

4.5) Preliminary machine adjustments
Machine adjustment is essential to ensure correct operation
The machine is extremely versatile and adaptable to the many operating situations to be found
along a railway line (diff erent types of rails, UIC60 etc. with diff erent fl ange heights and widths,
diff erent types of Fastclips and anchoring supports); for this reason, before using, some initial
adjustment will be required to defi ne the correct machine setup during work.
It is most important that the following conditions be met for subsequent Fastclip insertion and
extraction operations:
– Contrast jaws of both clamps centred on the shoulders of the Fastclip supports
and resting perfectly on their top (§ 4.5.1 and § 4.5.3).
– Movement of the machine parallel with the rail (§ 4.5.2).
4.5.1) Centred positioning of contrast jaws
The two clamps are independent of each other, so it will be necessary to adjust knobs (23 and
30) to set the positions of both the contrast jaws (43).
– Move the machine up to a pair of
Fastclips.
– Lower the machine completely to
determine the position of the con-
trast jaws (43).
– If necessary, turn the knobs (23
and 30) clockwise to move the
clamps away from the rail or anti
clockwise to move them closer to
the rail (see Fig. 7).
– Continue adjusting until the moving
jaws centre on the top of the sup-
port shoulders.
– Lower the machine to make sure
it is correctly supported as shown
in Fig. 8.
