PS7060 MULTIQUIP SAW — MAINTENANCE
Removal and Replacement
To ensure correct Blade Shaft/Wheel alignment this operation
should be performed by and authorized Service Center.
Blade Alignment
Figure 54. Blade Alignment Requirements
Maintaining proper blade and drive system alignment will allow
the saw to cut lines that are straight without much effort. Therefore
the Blade Shaft Flanges MUST be equadistant to the sides of
the saw, (+/- .030"). See Figure 54 below where distance A must
equal distance B.
The second requirement for the blade is that it MUST be square
to horizontal (90
o to flat surface). See Figure 54.

In addition to Blade alignment, maintaining proper blade and
drive system alignment will allow the saw to cut lines that are
straight without much effort. Therefore the Front Wheels and
Blade Shaft Axles MUST be at right angles to the frame edge.
In Figure 55 you see the distance "A" on the right side is shown
as "A + .187"" which means that the distance between centers of
the front and rear drive axles are 3/16" longer than on the opposite
side. This will have the effect of causing the saw to "steer" slightly
to the left. After becoming familar with the saws particular sawing
characteristics, the operator may wish to have this alignment
altered to fit his own preferences or to fit a particular application.

Figure 55. Wheel Alignment Requirements
The drive wheels are aligned by adjusting the entire rear drive
assembly.
1. Loosen the Transaxle Attachment Bolts just enough to move
the Transaxle. Do not completely loosen the Bolts.
2. Loosen and tighten the Alignment Jackscrew nuts to move
the Transaxle, and thus the wheels, in the appropriate direc-
tion to achieve the desired alignment distance. (See Fig. 55)
