Complete Alignment Procedure
Frame Setup
Before performing the following alignment procedures, setup the mill on firm, level ground.
If your sawmill is stationary, with no trailer axle, lower the feet so the weight of the sawmill is evenly
supported.
If your sawmill has a trailer axle and adjustable outriggers, adjust the outriggers as follows:
LT70M DH:
Adjust the two end outriggers on the main frame tube down just enough to lift weight from the
trailer tire.
All portable sawmills:
Adjust the outer outriggers down just so they touch the ground but do not bear
weight.
