2. Raise the log loader lever to extend the legs of the log loader out as far as they will go.
3. The chain securing the log loading arm to the log turner arm will be tight. Raise the log
turner lever to raise the turner arm until there is slack in the chain.
4. Unchain the loading arm from the turner arm.
5. Lower the turner lever to completely lower the turner arm. Notice that after the turner arm
is all the way down, the side support braces will begin to lower. Release the turner lever
after the turner arm is lowered, but before the side supports begin to lower. This stops the
log being loaded from damaging the turner and/or falling off the side of the sawmill.
6. When raising the turner lever, the side supports rise first. After reaching a fully vertical
position, the turner arm will engage and start to rise.
7. Manually lower the log loader so the legs rest on the ground.
CAUTION!
Be careful when lowering the log loader. Do not
drop the loader onto the ground or perform any action
which might break the velocity fuse valves on the loader
cylinders. These valves control hydraulic flow and are nec-
essary to prevent the loading arm from collasping during
use.
