CAUTION! Keep track rails free of rust. Formation of rust on the track
rail in the areas where the cam bearings roll can cause rapid
deterioration of the track rail's surface.
Lubricate the rails by wiping them with Dexron III ATF transmission fluid, 10W30 motor oil, or 3-in-1
turbine oil. Oil lubrication will help protect the rails from corrosive elements such as acid rain and/or
moisture from nearby bodies of saltwater (if applicable). This lubrication is essential to maintain the
integrity of the track rails and track rollers and to achieve long service life.
2. Remove sawdust from the track roller housings and lubricate the felt track wiper every twenty-five
hours of operation.
Remove the track roller housing covers and brush any sawdust buildup from the housings.
3. Check the track scrapers as needed. Make sure the scrapers fit firmly against the rail. If a track
scraper needs to be adjusted, loosen the screw, push the scraper downward until it fits firmly against
the rail, and retighten the thumb screw.
Clean and lubricate the upper track wiper every twenty-five hours of operation. Unbolt the wiper,
remove it from the sawmill, and remove any sawdust buildup. Soak the felt wiper with Dexron III
transmission fluid, 10W30 motor oil or 3-in-1 turbine oil.
CAUTION! Reinstall the track wiper so that it lightly touches the track
rail. If the wiper presses too firmly against the rail, it can cause the
power feed to bind.
