4.11 Preparing The Sawmill For Towing
The Wood-Mizer trailer package makes transporting your sawmill easy and convenient.
To get your sawmill ready for towing, follow these instructions.
CAUTION!
If the weight of the sawmill exceeds 3,000 lbs
(1361 Kg) for any reason, an auxiliary braking system (such
as electric brakes) must be used. Failure to do so may
result in severe machine damage.
1.
Move the saw carriage to the front end of the sawmill. Raise the rear outriggers.
See Figure 4-9.
For Fine Adjust Outriggers (FAOs), make sure the outrigger base is
adjusted so that the grease fitting is just below the lowest outrigger hole before securing
the FAO in position with the lock pin. This provides maximum ground clearance while pre-
venting the lock pin from hitting the grease fitting.
CAUTION!
Be sure the outrigger base is adjusted properly
before securing the FAO in position with the lock pin. Fail-
ure to do so will cause damage to the outrigger grease fit-
ting.
CAUTION!
Do not adjust the FAO outrigger base height
while there is weight on the FAO. Damage to the FAO may
result.
