Continue lowering the head 3/4" (19mm) until it contacts the stop blocks on the mast rails.
CAUTION!
It is important that the lower stop bolts are prop-
erly adjusted to secure the carriage on the track rail. Failure
to properly adjust the stop bolts can cause saw head dam-
age, especially during mill transportation.

If necessary, adjust the two stops located at the bottom of the mast so the saw head con-
tacts them after it is lowered 3/4" (19mm) past where it contacts the rest pin.
See Figure 4-10.

Engage the clutch/brake lever or autoclutch blade switch. This keeps the drive belt tight
and the motor from bouncing while traveling. Be sure to disengage the clutch/brake lever
or autoclutch blade switch after reaching the destination to avoid deformation of the drive
belt.
12.
Hook the carriage safety chain located at the bottom of the carriage to the bracket at the
bottom of the mast.
