How to Drive Underground Mining Locomotive Safely?

The Underground Mining Locomotive is a rail transport tool, so its operation is relatively simple, with only four operations - starting, speed regulating, braking and reversing. And when driving, you only need to pay attention to speed regulation, and brake in case of emergency. Although the operation looks simple, there are also many points that need attention.

For example, before starting, it is necessary to check the status of the mining Battery Locomotive - whether the mechanical parts are intact, whether the fasteners are secure, whether the functions of each part are normal, etc. Before driving, pay attention to the surrounding conditions and send out corresponding signals. Remember the signal regulations and driving regulations in the mine. During driving, pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times, and adjust the Underground Mining Locomotive speed accordingly. 

For example, when approaching a curve, you should start to slow down to avoid derailment caused by overspeed when crossing a curve. If someone in front or in any other emergency needs to brake, brake according to the operating regulations. Do not conduct illegal operations, such as driving the overhead line to operate the speed and stop of the overhead line type Battery Locomotive. The reversing can only be operated when the speed handle is at position 0.

In general, the operation of Underground Mining Locomotive is not difficult, but it is required to operate according to the driving regulations and pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
