Sawmill Operation
2.
Move the clamp all the way in toward the main bed frame tube.
CAUTION!
Move the hydraulic clamp and turner to provide
maximum ground clearance before towing. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the sawmill.
3.
Use the hydraulic controls to raise the log turner and loader as high as they will go. Man-
ually lift the loader and hook the loader chain to the turner. Use the hydraulic turner lever
to lower the turner until the chain is tight. Push the loader lever down to bring the loader
arm channels up to the loader.
4.
Release the blade tension.
CAUTION!
Changes in temperature could cause increased
pressure in the blade tensioner and loss of fluid from the
gauge. Release the blade tension when the mill is not in
use to avoid damage to the tensioner.
5.
Move the carriage forward to the travel position over the rear bed rail.
6.
Position the hole in the saw head over the travel rest pin.
7.
Lower the saw head until it is seated firmly on the rest pin.
