a) Set-up area should be relatively level and clear of debris. The head will need to roll
down the track so be sure the area is free of obstructions.
b) Lower the trailer jack and raise the jack until the coupler is free of the hitch. Once
this is done remove the unit from the vehicle. Using the "T" handles, loosen the bolts and
lower the front 2 legs.
c) Do the same to lower back 2 legs, and level the trailer.
d) Lower the center 2 legs last, the track should already be level.
e) On the 121/328 models, you will need to unbolt the head from the track. The trav-
el bolts are located behind your guide arms at the base of the mill head.
f) Once the head is unbolted from travel position, roll it down the track to be sure it is
level. If your head rolls on its own you will need to adjust your leveling legs. Return the
head to the center of the trailer and re-bolt or raise the center legs to lock head into place.
Once the head is secure you can reset the leveling legs.
**Always secure the head before re-leveling the trailer***
g) Once the trailer is level, the head should not roll on its own. If your trailer is not level,
it will not saw your boards correctly. Refer to previous instructions for proper set-up.
