3. TRACK RAILS, JOINING GUSSETS, MID BUNK
Using the hardware listed below, assemble the gussets to the track as shown on the next page.
Torque all bolts per the table in section BOLT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Track components listed in these tables are not included with the trailer package, namely track
rails, reinforcement plates, bunks, and carriage stops. These components are found in the
sawmill crate. If the trailer was purchased for an existing sawmill (i.e. the sawmill is currently
assembled), the track will need to be disassembled prior to building the trailer.
When assembling the track, ensure the gussets are flush with the track rails as shown in the
graphic below. Measure diagonally to check for squareness.

Using the shipping crate as an assembly aid, lay two (2) 2X4s across the top the crate near
each end. Position the track/gusset assembly on the 2X4s, ensuring it is centred end-to-end.
The 2X4s need to be long enough to support the track rails but shorter than the track is wide.
For either the HM126 or HM130, use 30 in [762 mm] long 2X4s. Use 36 in [914 mm] long
2X4s for the HM130MAX.

Before torquing the side plate bolts shown through the remainder of this section, verify there is a
⅜-½in [10-13 mm] uniform offset between the top of the track rails and the top of the side
plates. The offset must be uniform along the entire length of the trailer on both sides.
If the offset is not uniform, ensure the track is sitting on the 2X4s and not the crate. The side
plates need to hang from the rails unobstructed, with only the force of gravity pulling them down.
