> INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions describe the installation of our „STRAILastic_A“ absorber.

PLEASE NOTE

All work surfaces need to be cleaned prior to starting installation. In addition, all guidelines and manufacturer‘s instructions need to be followed unconditionally.

Read all documents accompanying the supplied materials prior to use.

All legal requirements, as well as guidelines concerning health and environmental protection are to be complied.



# 1 / TRACK AVAILABILITY

The system can be installed during ongoing train traffic, as well as during nighttime check intervals, as soon as extended train breaks (time window), which are longer than 5 min. become available.In order to coordinate work progress we absolutely recommend drawing up an appropriate and detailed work schedule (always depending on the train schedule).

# 2 / INSTALLATION

Bring STRAILastic_A absorber to installation position (use transport platform), place into sleeper bay.

Wet the entire surface of the rail chamber with STRAILastic_A coating (e.g. using a spray container / portab-le pressure sprayer, brushing also possible).

PLEASE NOTE:

The positioning of the absorbers into the rail web has to be done “wet”.The drying time of the coating depends on the climatic conditions, in particular with regard to solar radiation, which shortens the installation time.

Press the STRAILastic_A absorber onto the rail (install as much as possible in the middle of the sleeper bay) and pass the part of the STRAILastic_A clamp with the fixing pins under the rail.The STRAILastic_A clamp is delivered pre-assembled.

Press the opposite STRAILastic_A absorber as parallel as possible onto the rail and mount the other half of the STRAILastic_A clamp onto the fixing pins. Assemble manually using a bit of pressure.



Using the STRAILastic_A installation tool (incl. special attachable STRAILastic_A attachment) the STRAILastic_A clamps are pressed into the sleeper bay, so that the clamps snap into their final position.

PLEASE NOTE

The machine needs to be set to the corresponding end stop position of the respective width of the rail base. A corresponding template is included in the scope of supply for an exact positioning.

Our STRAILastic_A installation tool is made available for all first installations, as well as bigger projects. We are happy to lend you our installation tool for all other projects.

Using our STRAILastic_A installation tool guarantees a high-quality installation (even clamping force over the entire installation area).

The STRAILastic_A absorber can also be installed manually using our mounting lever.

Final check: The absorber is in final position if the fixing pins are protruding at an approximately equal length.

# 3 / INSTALLATION PERFORMANCE

A team of 10 workers allows an installation performance (without check intervals, dependent on the cycle time) of approx. 120 meters of track per hour.

# 4 / RAIL GRINDING / RE-PROFILING / TAMPING

For rail grinding, tamping, rail measurement as well as track works with ballast plough it is usually not necessary to remove any STRAILastic_A components.

# 5 / SELECTIVE REMOVAL / REMOVAL

5.1 / Rail Welding, Rail BreakageSTRAILastic_A absorber are resistant against temporary increasing temperatures.This applies particularly the scope of minor build-up welding.The components need to be removed in cases of repairing rail breakage and/or multi-layer build-up welding. The STRAILastic_A absorbers are easy to remove in cases of rail breakage (see 5.2). In this case, please pay attention to the DB AG guidelines.After welding has been completed the removed component may be adapted to the new rail geometry. Complete installation in accordance with Assembly Instructions.
