PREFACE

Maintenance of On-Track Machines is a challenging task. Maintenance of these machines is being done by zonal railways with the assistance of local trade available, zonal track machine workshops, CPOH / Allahabad and RDSO / Lucknow. With experience over the years, the railway engineers have developed adequate expertise in the maintenance of these machines. However, in absence of approved maintenance instructions, different maintenance practices have come into vogue. Therefore, it has become imperative to have a uniform maintenance standard throughout the Indian Railways. Maintenance schedule manuals of CSM (09-32), BCM (RM-80), FRM-80, Unimat, Duomatic machine (DUO), Unomatic machine (UNO), Ballast Regulating Machine (BRM 66-4), Tamping Express (09-3X), Dynamic Track Stabilizer (DGS 62N), Multi purpose track tamping machine (Unimat Compact--M), Plasser’s Quick Relaying System (PQRS), T-28, Track Relaying Train (TRT), Phooltas make UTV, FRM-85F, Worksite Tamping Machine (Plasser make) and Worksite Tamping Machine (Metex make) have been issued by RDSO.

Maintenance schedule manual of Ballast Regulating Machine (PBR-400R) have

been prepared on the basis of experience and suggestions received from Zonal

Railways.

It is hoped that this manual will be quite useful for the staff maintaining the machines

in field.

While every care has been taken to make the maintenance schedules quite

exhaustive, there is always scope for further improvement. Suggestions from the

Railways in this regard will be welcome and may be sent to the undersigned.

SAFETY

Maintenance works in principle have to be carried out when the vehicle is stationary and secured against breaking away.

It is strictly prohibited to climb on the vehicle roof under centenary. Before beginning of repair and maintenance works it must be ensured that the centenary is switched off and earthed. These safety measures have to be carried out and supervised by the machine in- charge.

Always pay attention to trains passing on adjacent tracks. Use skid-pans when parking the vehicle on gradients. If a check of certain structural elements might cause danger, these elements may

be checked only when the machine is stationary or after work. Never change the settings of safety valves. Before disassembling hydraulic system elements make sure that the equipment

is unpressurized. Hydraulic oil coming out under pressure may penetrate skin and cause serious injuries.

When draining engine oil or hydraulic oil at working temperature you might scald yourself.

Always ensure that on or in the vehicle nobody works with naked flames. Do not smoke when refueling the vehicle or checking the acid level of the

batteries. Never check the acid level of the battery or the fuel level in the tank with a naked

flame. Before beginning welding works (electric arc welding) particularly make sure that

the machine has been secured against breaking away (parking brake, skid-pans etc.); the engine has been switched off; the main switch has been switched "OFF“; the program control switch has been switched "OFF, if existing; the battery sets have been entirely disconnected, the earth electrode fastened at the vehicle has been connected as close to the weld as possible.

The earth electrode must never be mounted on the rail. Never connect the earth electrode to cylinder piston rods, hydraulic

accumulators, hydraulic pumps, batteries, earth cable, loose connections, or to hydraulic oil or fuel tanks.

Do not direct any high-pressure cleaning and lubricating devices to man or animal.

Do not use any easily flammable fluids or caustic cleansing agents to clean the machine.

ANNEXURE -XII

TESTING OF HYDRAULIC OIL

First filling of hydraulic oil will be done only after the testing of the oil for its

recommended values of parameters as given below.

After that every 500 working hrs.

At least one oil test per year.

RECOMMENDED VALUES OF TEST PARAMETERS.

VISCOSITY:

The admissible decrease in Viscosity is ( – 10%) of the original value

MAXIMUM WATER CONTENT:

The water content has to be as low as possible. The maximum admissible

concentration of water in the hydraulic oil is 1000 ppm. This corresponds

to 0.10% by volume.

PURITY:

The purity of the oil should be maintained as per NAS 1638 : 7-8 , ISO

4406 : 19/16/13-20/17/14

ACID CONTENT:

The TAN (Total acid Number) of fresh oil amounts 0.05 mg KOH/g. The

values for used oil to be between 0.05 to 1 mg / KoH/g.

BRAKE

During the cycle of service of a brake block its play has to be re-adjusted for at

least one time.

Usually the brake block play has to be re-adjusted, when:

The break block play is not between 5-7 mm. The brake blocks are replaced. The brake blocks are worn out on one side. The wheel profile had been re-worked

PROCEDURE FOR BRACK ADJUSTMENT Secure the machine against breaking away by skid-pans. Release the parking brake. Release the brake cylinders (ZERO brake pressure). Turned off the engine. When assembling new brake blocks, first shift the turnbuckles so that there is

enough room for new one’s. Adjust the brake play by using the turnbuckles. Secure the turnbuckles with counter nuts. Do not change all brake blocks at once (e.g. in two stages).
