Operation and Maintenance Travel Lock Pin (Rev. A.04+) SECTION 4 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Travel Lock Pin (Rev. A.04+) See Figure 4-1. The debarker is equipped with a travel lock pin. Insert the lock pin to lock the debarker in place when towing the sawmill. Remove the lock pin to unlock the debarker while the debarking is required during sawing.
Page 21
Operation and Maintenance Travel Lock Pin Operation (Prior to Rev. A.04) Before operating the debarker, make sure the locking pin is secured in its travel posi- tion. Turn the key switch to OFF (0) and remove the key. Pull the debarker out to relieve pressure on the locking pin.
Operation & Maintenance Control Overview Control Overview The Debarker Option allows you to remove bark from logs ahead of the bandsaw blade. This prevents the bandsaw blade from contacting dirt, sand, or other debris in the bark that can dull the blade. See Figure 4-3.
Operation & Maintenance Operation Operation DANGER! Make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured before operating the debarker option. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment when operating the debarker.
Page 24
Operation & Maintenance Operation IMPORTANT! Should the carriage be returned before the debarker has been pivoted out of the way of the log, the debarker is designed to pivot upwards. If this happens, con- tinue to SLOWLY return the carriage; or stop, pivot the debarker out and then return the carriage.
Operation & Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance DANGER! Before performing any service to this equip- ment, turn the key to the OFF (0) position and remove the key. Failure to do so will result in serious injury or death. 1. Lubricate the pivot joint with a NLGI #2 grade lithium grease every 40 hours of operation. See Figure 4-4.
