2.16 Preparing The Sawmill For Towing
The Wood-Mizer trailer package makes transporting your sawmill easy and convenient.
To get your sawmill ready for towing, follow these instructions.
1.
Move the cutting head to the front end of the sawmill. Raise the rear outriggers.
2.
Move the cutting head to the travel position over the rear bed rail.
3.
Position the hole in the cutting head over the travel rest pin.
4.
Lower the cutting head until it is seated firmly on the rest pin.
5.
Continue lowering the head 3/4” (19 mm) until it contacts the stop bolt located on the
mast.
CAUTION!
It is important that the stop bolt is properly
adjusted to secure the carriage on the track rail. Failure to
properly adjust the stop bolt can cause cutting head dam-
age, especially during mill transportation.
6.
Hook the carriage safety chain attached to the main bed tube, behind the trailer to the
bracket located near the lower track roller.
7.
Manually lift the log loader and secure it with the safety chain.
See Figure 2-15.
