1. Move the clamp out and down so it will not get in the way of logs being loaded onto the bed.
Lower the clamp in/out lever to move the clamp out toward the loading side of the sawmill.
Lower the clamp up/down lever to lower the clamp below the bed level.
2. Push the log loader lever up to completely lower the log loader feet.
3. The chain securing the log loader arm to the turner arm will be tight. Push the turner lever up to raise
the turner arm until there is slack in the chain.
4. Detach the chain from the bed rail.
5. Use the turner lever to completely lower the turner arm. Notice that after the turner arm is all the way
down, the side support braces will begin to lower. Release the turner lever after the turner arm is
lowered, but before the side supports begin to lower. This stops the log being loaded from damaging
the turner and/or falling off the side of the sawmill.
6. When raising the turner lever, the side supports rise first. After reaching a fully vertical position,
the turner arm will engage and start to rise.
7. Manually lower the log loader so it rests on the ground.
CAUTION! Be careful when manually lowering the log loader. Do not
drop the loader onto the ground.
8. Lower the loader lever to lower the loading arm as far as it will go. Logs must be rolled onto the
loading arms one at a time.
9. The front, middle and rear toe boards should be below the bed level. Once a tapered log has been
loaded, the front or rear end of the log may be lifted to parallel the heart of the log to the path of the
blade.
The front toe board is raised by lifting the front toe board lever up. The middle toe board is raised by
lifting the middle toe board lever up. The rear toe board is raised by lifting the rear toe board lever up.
Once a flat has been made and the log is ready to be turned, push the appropriate toe board lever
down to lower either toe board until it falls below the level of the bed.
