C. Machine Set-Up (trailer unit) 20' or 24' Torsion Axle Trailers.
1 - 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.
2 - 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.
3 - Do the same to lower back 2 legs, and level the trailer.
4 - Lower the center 2 legs last, the track should already be level.
5 - On the 221/428 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.
6 - 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***
7 - 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.

D. Setting Head on Track (If Applicable) Ground Models
Once your track is level, you are ready to set the head on the track. Once again, be sure the
area is still free and clear of obstructions. You will want the head to roll freely down the
track.
1 - Install the head with operator's side on the same side as the moveable dog. The dis-
charge side is the side with the squaring pins.
2 - Raise the head 3 inches and roll from one end to the other. The head should roll smooth-
ly along the track. If the head "thumps" when it passes over the track joint, check to make sure
the tracks are level. Re-level the track and try rolling the head again. Also be sure to watch the
track as you roll the head, if the track moves, you will need to support the track in that area.
