Transport Instructions
Follow all the steps to safely transport the
Hud-Son Saw Mill Trailer Model
1 - Check oil and fuel levels
2 - Check blade lubrication and
hydraulic levels (if applicable)
FOR BLADE LUBE USE:
Summer
Months use tap water and to prevent pitch
build up on the blade, add 1 oz. of dish soap
or pine sol to 1 gallon of tap water. This will
help keep the blade clean and cooler.
In the Winter Months Use regular wind-
shield washer fluid (usually blue in color) To
prevent pitch build up on the blade add 1 oz.
of dish soap or pinesol.
Adjustment: Before starting the engine,
adjust the flow of lube to the blade by adjust-
ing the flow valve closest to the tank so there
is a constant drip. If more lube is necessary,
adjust the valve until the there is a constant
drip. If more lube is needed, continue to adjust
the valve until the desired flow is acquired.
3 - Be sure the blade is sharp and tight
4 - Be sure all levers and switches are in
the neutral/center position before
starting the engine (if applicable)
5 - Be sure all persons are clear of the
equipment
6 - Make sure the unit is level and stable.
Do not use: petroleum products,
petroleum based products, flammable
products, or vegetable oil based
product. The above products mixed
with water or straight will cause the
blade to come off, fluid will be too
slippery between the blade and wheel
belting causing the blade to come off.
