5.2 Frame Setup
Stationary sawmills should be setup on firm, level ground before proceeding with alignment. Shim
the feet so the weight of the sawmill is evenly supported.
Portable sawmills should also be setup on firm, level ground:
LT40S: Adjust the two middle outriggers on the main frame tube down just enough to lift weight
from the trailer tire.
LT40M: Adjust the two end outriggers on the main frame tube down just enough to lift weight from
the trailer tire.
All Portable Sawmills: Adjust the two outer outriggers down just so they touch the ground but do
not bear weight.
See SECTION 2 Setup & Operation
for additional setup information.
