CAUTION! If at any time you need to immediately stop the
chain drive motor, press the emergency stop button located
on the electric box.
After engaging the log deck chain with the key switch, the logs placed on the deck are
routed towards the TVS infeed table until the first log is at the end of the deck and
activates the limit switch. The chain is disengaged until the log is removed from the deck
and the limit switch is released.
CAUTION! If the logs to be cut are short, place them in the
middle of the Incline Log Deck (so that they engage the
safety switch) to prevent the log from falling off the deck, on
the operator’s body. Logs of at least 700 mm length can be
transferred on the Incline Log Deck.

SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE
This section lists the maintenance procedures that need to be performed.
This symbol identifies the interval (hours of operation) at which each maintenance procedure
should be performed.
3.1 Lubrication
CAUTION! Never apply grease to the transfer chain. It causes
sawdust buildup in chain links.
1. Using the grease fittings, lubricate the main shaft bearings every 50 hours of operation.
See Figure 3-1.
2. Make sure all safety warning decals are readable. Remove sawdust and dirt. Replace any damaged

3.2 Sawdust Removal
1. Remove the excess sawdust from the drive and transfer chains every 50 hours of operation.
CAUTION! Never apply grease to the drive and transfer chains.
It causes sawdust buildup in chain links.
3.3 Transfer Chain Tension
CAUTION! Do not over-tension the chains of TVS tables, Incline Log
Deck and Cross Transfer Deck. Over-tensioning may lead to
premature failure of the gear, bearings, rollers and chains.
Use the adjustment bolts shown below to adjust the transfer chain tension as necessary. The chains
should have about 100 mm of slack.
See Figure 3-2. The figure shows how the transfer chain tension should be adjusted.
CAUTION! If the chain is too loose, the dogs located on it may hit the
deck frame. Tension the chain so that the dogs can move freely.
