INSTALLATION

Setting up the Saw Carriage (FIG. 24)

!WARNING!

The saw carriage is heavy. Two persons are required when setting up. Always wear boots with steel toecaps.

CAUTION!

Do not drop the saw carriage onto the rails or any other hard surface too heavily. This will result in permanent damage to the saw carriage’s bearings.

Do not place the saw carriage directly on the ground so that dirt and unnecessary con- tamination can come into contact with the saw carriage’s wheels.

Place the saw carriage on the rails and make adjustments as follows:

1.Two persons take hold of the saw carriage, one on each side. Hold the saw carriage as follows: The right-hand side: under the engine console (A) on the electric sawmill or under the saddle on the chain saw sawmill. The left-hand side: in the sawmill chassis (B).

2.Lift and place the saw carriage so that the grooves in its wheels are positioned above their respective rails (FIG. 25). Carefully lower the saw carriage onto the rails.

Saw Carriage Adjustment (FIG. 26)

The saw carriage is aligned on the rails by fitting its lower guide wheels and rail guards. The lower guide bearings have the task of preventing the saw carriage from tilting and the rail guards keep the rails and the saw carriage’s wheels free from dirt and the like. Assembled on the saw carriage are:

Two lower guide wheels

Four rail guards.

Assembly is done as follows:

1.Fix the guide wheel’s bracket in place with a screw. Place a 0.2 mm feeler gauge between the bearing and rail (FIG. 26).

2.Press the bearing against the rail and tighten the bearing bracket screw. Tightening torque: 40-50 Nm. Now remove the feeler gauge.

3.Carry out 1-2 above for the remaining guide wheels.

4.Position the four rail guards (FIG. 27) above the wheel.
