DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. REMOTE: 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 General Information
1.1 General Description
1.2 Terms Used In This Manual
1.1 General Description

DMF remote drive allows control over the forward and reverse movement of the vehicle from
outside of the cab. It does not offer any control for the vehicle steering system and may only be
used while the vehicle is on rail. The remote drive system uses electrical and pneumatic
components to control the throttle, transmission, brakes, and some other vehicle functions.
DMF offers a tethered remote drive system and one that is wireless. In addition, remote drive
systems are available for vehicles with an automatic or manual transmission. In each
configuration, the controls and labels are slightly different.
1.2 Terms Used In This Manual

 Tethered Remote: A type of remote drive system with a console box mounted in a
fixed location that communicates with the controls in the cab via wires.
 Wireless Remote: A type of remote drive system with a console box that
communicates wirelessly with the controls in the cab. The console box can be moved to
different locations while maintaining communication.
 Enable Switch: Switch in the cab that is used to enable and disable the remote drive
system. It is not an emergency stop button. For the tethered remote drive systems,
turning off this switch will not initiate a shutdown sequence. This means that the vehicle
may remain in gear even if the switch is turned off (button in the down position).
 Shutdown Sequence: This sequence allows some functions of the remote drive system
to remain active long enough to ensure the vehicle comes out of gear and comes to a
complete stop.
 Fully Reversing Transmission: A type of transmission that allows all of the same
gears in forward and reverse.

2.1 Warnings
The remote drive system should only be used while the vehicle
is on rail.
Never allow personnel or equipment in the working area of the

vehicle (in front or behind) while the remote drive system is
enabled.
Keep body parts and equipment out of the path of travel of the
clutch and shifter assemblies while the remote drive system is
enabled.
Revving the engine while a PTO is engaged may result in PTO

or pump damage.
Never operate the remote drive system when there is less than
80 psi in the vehicle’s air tank.
In rare instances, loss of wireless communication can occur as

a result of interference from other wireless equipment, such as
cell phone towers, wireless locomotive controls, handheld
radios, etc.
In the event of remote drive system communication loss, the

vehicle will come to an abrupt stop, PTO’s will disengage, and
all other remote system functions will turn off.

order for the remote drive functions to work. If it is pressed while the vehicle is in gear
and the remote drive system is enabled, a shutdown sequence will initiate that presses
in the clutch and returns the transmission to neutral. The engine will return to idle and
all other remote drive functions will stop immediately.
 Clutch: A yellow momentary button. When pressed, it applies the clutch mechanism to
release the engine from the input shaft of the transmission. It must be pressed before
restarting the engine, engaging a PTO, or moving the shift selector.
 Engine Restart: A green, momentary push button. Make sure the vehicle is stationary
with the transmission in neutral, parking brake applied, throttle at idle, and clutch
pressed before starting the engine.

 PTO 1: A latched, orange, mushroom button. Set the throttle to idle and press the
clutch before engaging the PTO. Pull the button to engage the PTO and push the button
to disengage it. Revving the engine while a PTO is engaged may result in PTO or pump
damage.
 PTO 2: A latched, gray, mushroom button. Set the throttle to idle and press the clutch
before engaging the PTO. Pull the button to engage the PTO and push the button to
disengage it. Revving the engine while a PTO is engaged may result in PTO or pump
damage.
 Horn: A blue momentary push button that turns on an air horn.
 Throttle: A black knob that controls the engine speed. Turning the knob
counterclockwise increases engine speed and turning it clockwise decreases engine
speed. Pressing the top of the knob will return the engine to idle.
 Service Brakes: A black lever that applies the vehicle’s air brakes. The brakes will
apply more firmly as the lever is pressed further up. The fully down position has no
braking effort applied.
 Shift Selector: A single axis joystick that controls the shift lever in the cab. It moves
the shifter forward and rearward between neutral and the two gears available in the left-
most section of the shift pattern (typically reverse and the lowest forward gear). The
joystick will not move from the center position (neutral) unless the parking brake is
released. The joystick is spring loaded and will return to center when it is not being
pressed forward or rearward.
 Parking Brake Release: This switch releases the parking brakes for the vehicle and
allows it to roll freely. It is activated by pulling up on the Shift Selector knob (see Figure
2.3.1.B). The parking brake will re-apply when the knob is released.
Figure 2.3.1.B
