See Figure 4-4. The portable hydraulic sawmills 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 the 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 battery.
IMPORTANT! Check the state of battery charge measuring the voltage
every 16 hours of operation or once a week. The voltage should not be
lower than 12.5V when the engine is not running and not lower than
13.8V when the engine is running (during both measurements the
hydraulic system and all accessories must not work). If the voltage
values are lower than the values given above, recharge the battery
and check the battery charging system.
