DANGER!
Before performing any service to this equip-
ment, turn the key to the OFF (0) position and remove the
key. Failure to do so will result in serious injury or death.
1.
Lubricate the pivot joint with a NLGI #2 grade lithium grease every 40 hours of operation.
See Figure 4-3.
2.
Periodically check the flexible guard. Adjust the guard up or down so the bottom is even
with the bottom of the debarker blade. Replace the guard as needed.
3.
Periodically check the debarker blade. Align or replace as needed.
WARNING!
Before replacing the debarker blade, move the
sawmill blade guide arm in front of the sawmill blade to
cover the blade teeth. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death.
To replace the debarker blade, remove the lower blade guard plate. Place one wrench on
the blade arbor, above the blade bearing. Place the other wrench on the lower bolt and
rotate clockwise (bolt has left-hand threads). Remove the bolt and washer. Remove the
blade and spacer.
Reinstall the spacer with the new blade. Reinstall the bolt and washer and turn counter-
clockwise to tighten to 35 foot-pounds (±5). Reinstall the blade guard plate.
CAUTION!
Tighten the blade bolt manually. Using
power-assisted tools may result in over-torquing and dam-
age to the bolt.
