7. Finally, dismantle the components of the traversing system.
6.4 Control of the DUO traverse jack with anchor jack
DANGER / CAUTION!
The vehicle to be rerailed must be secure according to instructions to prevent it
rolling, slipping and tipping!
6.4.1 Traversing with external load lifting system (recommended method):
Procedure:
1. Set up the rerailing system as described under "Setting up the DUO traversing
system" and in the separate operating instructions of the other components used.
2. Raise the vehicle with the separate load lifting system.
3. Place suitable base material (e.g hardwood blocks or metal plates) on the roller
carriages and align such that, after lowering, the vehicle is stable and secure on the
roller carriages.
DANGER / CAUTION!
The vehicle to be rerailed must be securely raised such that it cannot slip or tip
over before placing the base material and setting up the traversing system.
Always keep an eye on the raised vehicle when placing the base material and
setting up the system!If the vehicle begins to move in an uncontrolled manner,
leave the danger zone as fast as possible!
You must leave the danger zone after placing the base material and setting
up the system!
4. Lower the vehicle on to the roller carriages.
5. Extend the traverse jack with the separate control unit by the distance the vehicle to
be rerailed is to be traversed to the rails.
6. Secure the load to prevent it slipping to the side.
7. If the traversing range does not extend far enough, now retract the anchor jack with
the aid of the separate control unit. (If the traversing range does extend far enough,
continue with Point 11)
8. Completely retract the traverse jack.
9. Shut down the anchor jack. The jack will consequently extend automatically.
10. Extend the traverse jack again. Due to friction, the roller carriages normally do not
move until the extended anchor jack engages in one of the retainer holes in the rerailing
bridge. Nevertheless if necessary, still secure the roller carriage to prevent it rolling
away!
Once the anchor jack has engaged, the roller carriages move in the traversing
direction of the traverse jack.
