SECTION 4 SAWMILL OPERATION
4.1 Hydraulic Control Operation
The hydraulic control levers become operational when the contacts at the bottom of the
carriage touch the power strip on the frame tube. The hydraulic control levers will only
work when the cutting head is close enough to the front end of the mill to touch the power
strip.
See Figure 4-1. Hydraulic units have seven control levers to load, clamp, turn and level
logs.
Use the hydraulic control levers to get the mill ready to load a log.
DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving
equipment and logs when operating sawmill or loading and
turning logs. Failure to do so will result in serious injury.
CAUTION! Always make sure the engine is running before
operating the hydraulic controls. Operating the controls
without the engine running will result in power drainage
from the battery. Holding the hydraulic switches halfway up
or down also will cause excessive drainage from the bat-
tery.
