SECTION 2 DEBARKER INSTALLATION
DANGER!
On electric mills, hazardous voltage inside the
disconnect box, starter box, and at the electric motor can
cause shock, burns, or death. Disconnect and lock out
power supply before performing debarker installation! Fol-
low all applicable electrical codes.
DANGER!
Before performing any service to this equip-
ment, turn the key to the OFF (0) position, remove the key,
and disconnect the sawmill battery ground terminal. Failure
to do so will result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
Due to various design changes and past retro-
fits and options, you should very carefully look your mill
over to determine Debarker compatibility before beginning
Debarker installation.
The Debarker Option may be installed to most sawmills with the required up/down chains
and 60 amp or larger alternator systems.
See Table 2-1.
Look at your sawmill up/down chains to verify they are the proper style
for use with the Debarker Option. Refer to the chart below to determine if the Debarker
Option may be installed on your specific sawmill.
