Loading & Transporting the Sawmill
The assembled sawmill can be manually loaded into and transported in an appropriately
equipped pickup truck:
WARNING!
A minimum of three people (four recommended) is required to
safely load or unload the sawmill from a pickup truck. Failure to follow this may
result in serious injury or death.
The sawmill weighs 1100 lbs. (500Kg). The center of gravity of the carriage is
off-center toward the operator side. The higher the saw head from the bed
frame, the more easily the mill can be tipped toward the operator side.
WARNING!
Ensure the carriage lock pins are properly engaged. Failure to fol-
low this may result in serious injury or death.
To prevent the carriage from unexpectedly sliding on the rails, the pin at the
end of the sawmill
must engage the hole in the bed frame
. The other pin
must be left in the operation position.
1.
Remove the leg assemblies or adjust them above the bottom of the bed frame.
See Figure 5-7.
for a detailed description of carriage lock pin operation.
