CAUTION!
Changes in temperature could cause increased pressure in
the blade tensioner and loss of fluid from the gauge. Release the blade
tension when the mill is not in use to avoid damage to the tensioner.
5.
Move the carriage forward to the travel position over the rear bed rail.
6.
Position the hole in the saw head over the travel rest pin.
7.
Lower the saw head until it is seated firmly on the rest pin.
8.
Secure the rest pin in the vertical position with the locking pin.
See Figure 4-12.
9.
Continue lowering the head 3/4" (19mm) until it contacts the stop blocks on the mast rails.
CAUTION!
It is important that the lower stop bolts are properly
adjusted to secure the carriage on the track rail. Failure to properly
adjust the stop bolts can cause saw head damage, especially during
mill transportation.
10.
If necessary, adjust the stops located at the bottom of the mast so the saw head contacts
them after it is lowered 3/4" (19mm) past where it contacts the rest pin.
