Debarker Installation
SECTION 3 ALIGNMENT
DANGER!
Before performing any service to this equip-
ment, turn the key to the OFF (0) position and remove the
key. Failure to do so will result in serious injury or death.
The debarker blade should be aligned to the sawmill blade to insure proper operation.
The debarker blade should be parallel with and aligned vertically with the sawmill blade.
1.
Turn the key to ACC (3) and use the debarker in/out switch to move the debarker all the
way in. Turn the key to OFF (0) and remove the key. This will prevent the debarker from
being turned on while performing alignment procedures.
2.
Check the squareness of the debarker with the sawmill blade. Adjust the debarker
mounts if necessary until the debarker is square with the sawmill blade.
Loosen the four debarker mounting bolts and use a mallet to adjust the mounting blocks.
The mounting holes are oversized to allow small adjustments of the debarker. Tilt the
debarker mount until the debarker is square with the sawmill blade.
Reighten the debarker mounting bolts to 20 ft.-lbs. torque. Tighten the two set screws in
the mounting block holes to secure the debarker in its aligned position.
