Securing the Mill for Transport
All Portable or Stationary Band Sawmills require a 2 5/16" ball to properly fit the trailer
hitch.
Ensure tires are properly inflated to the correct pressure, as stated on the sidewall.
The head frame should be positioned over the axels and held stationary by inserting the
transport pins in the head locking slots followed by the hairpin cotter pins (see
Figure
25A
and
25B
on the next page).
Ensure all leveling legs are raised up and all bolts and jamb nuts are tight.
Ensure all fences, clamp arms, and toe rollers are raised and that the fence arms and
clamp arms have transport pins and hairpin cotter pins in place.
Ensure the log loader arms are folded over and the end of each rest securely and evenly
(
centered
) on a log bunk (see
Figure 25
on the next page).
Ensure that no hydraulic hoses or electrical wires are hanging loose under the mill.
Ensure that the leg-leveling jack handle is in its mounts with hairpin cotter pins in place
(see
Figure 16C
, page 16).
Remove and secure the dust discharge chute.
Ensure that the trailer hitch is properly fastened, the two safety chains and the brake
activation pull cable is securely fastened to the towing vehicle.
Rotate trailer jack to the horizontal position and secure in place with the locking pin.
Verify that the electric brakes, brake lights and turn signals work properly prior to towing.
