Wood-Mizer Incline Conveyor. After connecting the transfer deck table to the air supply,
the transfer deck table automatically lowers when the board or cant gets between the
electronic sensors on the incline conveyor belt. The transfer deck table automatically
raises when the board or cant leaves the incline conveyor and there is no object on the
incline conveyor belt between the electronic sensors.
To operate the transfer deck with the incline conveyor, connect the air supply to the trans-
fer deck air supply line. NOTE: Make sure each hose fits tight on the fitting before operat-
ing the unit.

3.3 Setup
Prepare a firm, level area where the transfer deck can be anchored before operating the
unit. A cement pad with 1/2” diameter anchor bolts is recommended.
WARNING! Securely fasten the feet of the transfer deck to
the floor before operating the unit. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: If you use the Wood-Mizer Incline Conveyor, the distance between the transfer
deck and conveyor should be approximately 25” (635 mm).
See Figure 3-10.
The top of the conveyor drive roller should be approximately 2” (50mm) higher than the
top of the transfer deck rollers. Make sure that lumber can easily get to the transfer deck
table.
