Setup & Operation
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.
CAUTION!
If the weight of the sawmill exceeds 3,000 lbs (1361 Kg) for any
reason, an auxiliary braking system (such as electric brakes) must be used.
Failure to do so may result in severe machine damage.
1.
Move the saw carriage to the front end of the sawmill. Raise the rear outriggers.
2.
Move the clamp all the way in toward the main bed frame tube.
CAUTION!
Move the hydraulic clamp and turner to provide maximum
ground clearance before towing. Failure to do so may result in damage to the
sawmill.
3.
Use the hydraulic controls to raise the log turner and loader as high as they will go. Manually 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 hole in the saw head over the travel rest pin.
6.
Lower the saw head until it is seated firmly on the rest pin.
7.
Secure the rest pin in the vertical position with the locking pin.
See Figure 2-24.
8.
Continue lowering the head 3/4" (19mm) until it contacts the stop blocks on the mast rails.
CAUTION!
It is important that the lower stop bolts are properly adjusted to
secure the carriage on the track rail. Failure to properly adjust the stop bolts
