FORD ARIES F450 F550 PARTS AND SERVICE MANUAL
Before road travel always ensure the rail gear is fully raised and the locks are properly engaged. Make sure the steering lock is disengaged. • The steering and braking characteristics of your vehicle will be different due to the rail gear. If you are driving the vehicle for the first time, familiarize yourself with the steering and braking by driving the vehicle in a safe place before taking the vehicle on the road. • Be aware that your vehicle may have reduced ground clearance due to the rail gear. • Approach and departure angles may be different due to the rail gear. This will affect the way you approach dips, ditches, inclines and other surface irregularities. • Do not use the rail gear as a hitch for towing vehicles or dragging objects. Use the correct hitch points on the vehicle frame.
Find a suitable road crossing to position the vehicle on rail. If necessary set up cautionary devices to ensure safety. 2. Position the vehicle with the road wheel tires on the rails, and the rail wheel flanges positioned centrally above the railhead. Backing into position is usually easier. 3. Put the vehicle’s transmission into park or neutral. Set the parking brake. 4. Engage the PTO hydraulic pump or start the auxiliary hydraulic power source. 5. The rear will be placed on rail first. a. Raise the rail gear up a bit to relieve the pressure on the lock hook. b. Pull the T-handle for the lock to swing the hook out of the way. c. Lower the rail gear into position on the rail. d. Release the T-handle for the lock. 6. Check the alignment of the front rail wheels with the track – it might be necessary to adjust the position of the vehicle. 7. The front rail gear will now be lowered. a. Raise the rail gear up a bit to relieve the pressure on the pin lock. b. Remove the both pins from the upper holes. c. Lower the rail gear. d. Install the lock pins in the lower holes. 8. Engage the steering lock. 9. Drive the vehicle forward and backward a few yards to check vehicle’s operation and brakes. 10. Vehicle is now ready for rail travel.
