4.10 Loading & Transporting the Sawmill
The assembled sawmill can be manually loaded into and transported in an appropriately
equipped pickup truck:
WARNING!
The sawmill weighs 1100 lbs. The center of
gravity of the carriage is off-center toward the operator side.
The higher the saw head from the bed frame, the more eas-
ily the mill can be tipped toward the operator side. A mini-
mum of three people (four recommended) is required to
safely load or unload the sawmill from a pickup truck.
1.
Remove the leg assemblies or adjust them above the bottom of the bed frame.
Before lifting, moving or transporting the sawmill, be sure
the carriage lock pins are properly engaged. To prevent the
carriage from unexpectedly sliding on the rails, the pin at
the end of the sawmill must engage the hole in the bed
frame. The other pin must be left in the operation position.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or machine
damage.
See Figure 4-12.

tion.
