Hydraulic Control Operation
IMPORTANT!
The hydraulic control levers become operational when
the contacts at the bottom of the carriage touch the power strip on the
frame tube.The hydraulic control levers will only work when the cutting
head is close enough to the front end of the mill to touch the power
strip.
See Figure 4-1.
DANGER!
Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment and
logs when operating sawmill or loading and turning logs. Failure to fol-
low this will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION!
Ensure the engine is running before operating the hydrau-
lic controls. Operating the controls without the engine running will
result in power drainage from the battery. Holding the hydraulic
switches halfway up or down also will cause excessive drainage from
the battery.
