MECHANICAL BOARD RETURN RETROFIT

See Table 1. This optional mechanical board return can be installed to any 1997 and newer

model LT30, LT40, LT30HD or LT40HD. Use the appropriate kit depending on model, manufac-

turing date and clutch configuration as shown below.

Board Return Arm Installation

1. Raise the saw head so the area under the engine/motor can easily be accessed. Turn the key to

the OFF (#0) position and remove the key. Remove the blade from the sawmill if applicable

before proceding.

WARNING! Before performing service near moving parts such as blades,

pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn the key switch to the OFF (#0)

position and remove the key. If the key is turned on and moving parts acti-

vated, serious injury may result.

WARNING! Remove the blade before performing any service to the

engine or sawmill. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

2. Autoclutch Option only: Remove the lower belt auxiliary guard plate from the saw head.

3. Manual Clutch only: Remove the lower drive belt guard from the saw head.

Board Return Table Installation (1997 - 06 Sawmills)

1. Install the table at the front of the sawmill bed with the outrigger toward the loading side of the

sawmill.

See Figure 4. Be sure the edge of the table seats in the slot on the bed frame and the table tab

seats in the leg bracket. Lower the outrigger and adjust it until it is firmly planted on the ground.

Store the pins by placing one pin in the hole under the table. Loop the second pin through the

retainer of the first pin and lock.

Board Return Operation

DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of returning boards.

Failure to do so will result in serious injury.

WARNING! The board return is intended to assist a second opera-

tor in removing boards quickly. Do not use the board return when

operating the sawmill alone. Serious injury, death or damage to the

equipment may result.

WARNING! Never use the board return table as a platform to stand

on. This table is designed and intended to assist in the removal of

boards only. Standing on the table may result in serious injury.

CAUTION! Do not use the board return to remove boards thicker

than 4/4 (1 1/8"). Damage to the feed motor may occur.

To activate the board return, remove the retaining pin from the board return storage pin. Remove

the pin to allow the arm to drop into its operating position. Return the storage pin to its original

location and secure with the retaining pin.

See Figure 5.

When the blade reaches the end of the log, the arm will drop down to catch the board and drag it

back toward the operator as the saw head is returned.

Boards may not always return in the same path or location. If a board returns in a manner that

does not allow the sawyer or off-bearer to maintain control, it may be necessary to stop the

reverse motion of the saw head.

When the board return is to be used, a second person is required to remove the board as it is

returned. DO NOT attempt to use the board return feature when sawing alone. Use of the board

return not recommended with material shorter than 8 foot.

To bypass the board return feature, remove the retaining pin from the board return storage pin.

Remove the storage pin and lift the board return arm to its storage position (hole in arm aligned

with holes in mounting bracket). Replace the storage pin and secure with the retaining pin.

1997 - 06 Sawmills Only: Before towing the sawmill, place the board return table in its storage

position at the rear of the sawmill and secure with both locking pins. Adjust the outrigger leg up to

provide proper ground clearance when towing the sawmill.

CAUTION! To avoid damage to the board return table, secure it in

its storage location before towing the sawmill.

See Figure 6.
