Lubricating Machine
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
MACHINE MAY NOT BE
SHIPPED WITH OIL!
Requires Oil
Before Operation
or Warranty Will
Be Void.
The elevation system and feed system gearboxes
and the automatic oiler and one-shot oiler reser-
voirs must have the proper amount of oil in them
before the machine can be operated.
IMPORTANT: Damage caused to the bearings,
gears, and chains from running the machine with-
out oil in the gearboxes and reservoirs will not be
covered under warranty. Refer to the Lubrication
section, beginning on Page 49, for checking and
adding oil.
In addition to the gearboxes and reservoirs, we
also recommend that you lubricate all other points
on the machine at this time. To do this, follow
the steps provided in the lubrication schedule on
Page 50.

Dust Collection
DO NOT operate your machine without
an adequate dust-collection system. This
machine creates substantial amounts of
wood dust while operating. Failure to use a
dust-collection system can result in short
and long-term respiratory illness.
Minimum CFM at 5" Dust Port: 625 CFM
Minimum CFM at 6" Dust Port: 900 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect dust-collection hoses:
1.
Fit 5" and 6" dust hoses over dust ports
and secure in place with hose clamps (see
Figure 20).

Tug hoses to make sure they do not come
off. A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
