Monorail Locomotives Operation Management Regulations

When a Monorail Locomotives is transporting materials normally, both the main and assistant drivers must operate alongside the vehicle. If a locomotive breaks down during transport or requires a short stop for loading or unloading, it must be parked on a flat section of track. Parking on sloped or narrow roadways is strictly prohibited to prevent the vehicle from slipping or obstructing traffic.

If a  Monorail Locomotives malfunctions, the on-duty personnel must immediately organize emergency repairs. If on-site repairs are not possible, the vehicle must be towed back to the refueling chamber for inspection according to locomotive traction operating procedures. If the faulty locomotive is on a sloped section of track, the driver must install a track stop. If the fault occurs in a narrow roadway, emergency repairs must be immediately organized or the vehicle must be towed back to the refueling chamber. Prolonged parking in this area is strictly prohibited to avoid disrupting other operations.

When transporting materials in a mining area's main roadway, the driver must not park the vehicle for extended periods. If a locomotive breaks down, it must be immediately towed back to the maintenance chamber. Inspections or prolonged stays in the main roadway are strictly prohibited to ensure unobstructed transportation channels. When leaving get off work, the driver must park the locomotive in the maintenance chamber or charging chamber. Loaded locomotives are strictly prohibited from being parked in the chute, at the damper, at the chute mouth, or in the trackway to prevent materials from falling or blocking the transport line.

When transporting supports, strict adherence to large-scale transport procedures is required. Supports must not be parked at the chute mouth, in the main tunnel, or in the transfer area while the support is suspended. Supports must not be left suspended in the air for extended periods awaiting shift changes. After the support is in place, during the unloading process, the operator must closely monitor the clearance between the support's lifting boom and the support's upper beam to prevent collisions and damage to oil pipes and cables.

When lifting containerized materials, use a dedicated container truck. If a lifting chain is used, the chain hook must be attached to the designated lifting eye on the bottom of the container. It is strictly prohibited to attach it to the container's bottom edge. Furthermore, lead wire or ordinary rope loops must not be used in place of the lifting chain to prevent slippage. When lifting supports or units, a dedicated lifting frame must be used. When lifting other equipment weighing over 6 tons, a support lifting beam must be used to ensure safe load-bearing.

The driver must strictly follow these operating procedures and related safety measures and assume responsibility for any consequences of non-compliant operation.

When lifting bulk materials, first adjust the lifting hook spacing according to the material length to match the material. After the initial lift, the material is lifted 200mm from the undercarriage and allowed to naturally converge, then a secondary tightening with lifting chains is required to ensure the material is securely gathered and prevent it from dispersing during transportation. After the secondary tightening, the lifting chain's free space must be minimized, shortening the distance between the material and the locomotive's lifting beam to minimize lateral movement during transportation.

When transporting bulk materials or equipment that cannot be held against the lifting beam and may sway back and forth, the locomotive's operating speed must be controlled within 1.0m/s. Train operators must closely monitor the swing of materials and are strictly prohibited from standing on either side of the material to prevent spillage and injury. If significant swing is observed, the operator must immediately notify the driver to slow down.

When passing through special locations such as switches and dampers, the vehicle must slow down and stop slowly 30 meters in advance. The train operator must dismount and confirm safety before proceeding.

The transport team's  Monorail Locomotivess in each mining area must strictly adhere to the team's internal maintenance management system. No one other than the team's certified drivers is allowed to use or borrow them to prevent accidents caused by misoperation.

After an emergency stop, the driver or train operator must dismount and inspect the vehicle and track integrity. Any problems must be addressed or reported promptly, and operation may resume only after confirmation that there are no potential hazards.

When approaching special locations such as dampers, grade changes, and curves, the train operator must specifically check the damper hooks and the locking status of the switches. The driver must slow down and use his or her vantage point to inspect the track integrity. At the same time, when inspecting switches and bends, track patrol personnel must use ladders to climb up and conduct detailed inspections to ensure there are no hidden dangers and prevent accidents.
