Upper Harness Installation
DANGER!
On electric mills, hazardous voltage inside the
disconnect box, starter box, and at the electric motor can
cause shock, burns, or death. Disconnect and lock out
power! Follow all applicable electrical codes.
DANGER!
Before performing any service to this equip-
ment, turn the key to the OFF position, remove the key, and
disconnect the sawmill battery ground terminal. Failure to
do so will result in serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT!
Avoid pinch and pivot points, unnecessary
wire bending and open spaces where the wire could get
caught by a log, etc. If you have any questions, call
Wood-Mizer customer service.
Find the upper power harness on the debarker control box. The upper power harness
routing will differ from mill to mill.

1.
Route the upper power harness from the debarker control box under and around the
motor mount towards the alternator. While routing, use provided clamps/drill holes as
necessary to secure the harness in place.
2.
Use a provided wire tie to secure the harness tubing to the existing sawmill power feed
control upper harness a few inches from where the sawmill control harness ends near the
alternator. Cut excess tubing from the debarker power harness, leaving the wires long.
3.
Route the red power wire to the starter or alternator battery post, whichever you find eas-
ier to acess. Cut excess wire as needed. Terminal connection size may vary. Use sup-
plied ring terminals for wire connection as needed.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the ring terminal does not
touch the alternator/starter body.
4.
Route the black power wire to the engine ground. Cut excess wire as needed. Terminal
connection size may vary. Use supplied ring terminals for wire connection as needed.
5.
Connect the small black debarker control wire to the positive engine coil wire in one of
two ways. The first option is to tap into the existing wire leading to the positive engine coil
terminal. To do this, crimp the supplied blue T-tap terminal around the existing positive
engine coil wire.
