CLEAN AND LUBRICATE THE TRACK WIPERS FELT
Lubricate the track wiper felt every twenty-five hours of operation.
1.
Remove the track roller housing covers and brush any sawdust buildup from the hous-
ings.
2.
Unbolt the middle track wiper, remove from the sawmill, and remove any sawdust buildup.
3.
Soak the wiper felt with Dexron III transmission fluid.
CAUTION!
Reinstall the track wiper so that it lightly touches the track
rail. If the wiper presses too firmly against the rail, it can cause the
power feed to bind.
See Figure 5-3.
4.
Check the track scrapers as needed.
Scrapers should fit firmly against the rail. To adjust the scraper, loosen the wingnut, push
the scraper downward until it fits firmly against the rail, and retighten the wingnut.
