2.20 Preparing The Sawmill For Towing
The Wood-Mizer trailer package makes transporting your sawmill easy and convenient.
To get your sawmill ready for towing, follow these instructions.
1. Move the saw carriage to the front end of the sawmill. Raise the rear outriggers.
2. Use the hydraulic controls to move the log clamp all the way toward the loading side of
the mill.
CAUTION!
Failure to fully extend the log clamp before tow-
ing can result in damage to the clamping assembly during
towing.
3. Use the hydraulic controls to raise the log turner and loader as high as they will go. Man-
ually lift the loader and hook the loader chain to the elbow of the turner. Use the hydraulic
turner lever to lower the turner until the chain is tight. Push the loader lever down to bring
the loader arm channels up to the loader.
4. Move the carriage forward to the travel position over the rear bed rail.
5. Position the holes in the saw head over the travel rest pin.
6. Lower the saw head until it is seated firmly on the rest pin.
See Figure 2-19.
