Log Loader Arms
Log loader arms should always be positioned to provide adequate support to the material
being loaded. Failure to do so can cause personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Positioning The Log Loader Arms
Ensure the head frame is positioned to the front-end of the mill.
Ensure log loader arms and outrigger support arm are setting on the ground.
Ensure machine power is off by removing the key from the ignition.
Set a log in front of (
but not onto
) the log loader arms using the outrigger support as a
mark to align the center of the log with.
Using a 1 1/8" wrench loosen the 3 jamb nuts and 3 bolts on each log loader arm slider
assembly, allowing the log loader arm to move easily.
Position the arms so that the logs will be evenly distributed across each arm (see
Figure
18
below).
Note:
A minimum of 12" of the log should extend past the log loader arms and the minimum
distance between the arms should never be less than 42".
Measure the spacing noted above ensuring the minimum requirements are met.
When the desired distance is met, tighten the 3 bolts and 3 jamb nuts on each log loader
arm slider assembly.
Ensure that the end of the material closest to the saw head will clear when loaded.
After log loader arms are properly positioned and bolts and jam nuts are tight, you are
ready to load logs onto the mill.
