5.1 Inspecting Shipm ent
This machine has been carefully packed to prevent damage during shipment. However, claim s f or
damage or loss are the responsibility of the recipient. Inspect all shipment s as soon as they are
received. If there is any noticeable damage, note it on the fr eight bill. Visual and/or hidden damage
must be report ed to the claims department of the carrier within 15 days. Contact your dealer if you
need any assistance. Check the contents of the box against the packing list on page 8. Make sure
there are no missing items.
5.2 Uncrating
The Titan 265 weighs approximately 1780 lbs (807kg). DO NOT risk personal injury or damage by
attempting to move machinery with makeshift equipment or inadequate manpower. Thi s mac hine is
shipped on a wooden skid and enclosed in a protective, corrugated top. The machine is secured in
place with (4) l ag screws. All ac c essories are pac k ed in a separat e box.
Remove the cart on by remov ing the nails or staples holding it to t he skid and lift it straight up over the
cutter. If you don’t have the ceiling clearance to do this, c ar efully slit the carton down the side and
then unwrap it fr om around t he c utt er . Remov e the accessory box. Remove the lag screws that
secure the machine to the skid. Cut shipping straps on the hydraulic reservoir and remove wood
spacer from under r eservoir.
The machine may then be remov ed from the ski d. A fork-lift may be used if the forks will extend to
the back of the machine base. Raise the m ac hine enough to create a small clearance bet ween the
skid and machine. Make sure the f or k s engage t he fork pockets found beneath the base. Remov e
the skid.
DO NOT place hands under machine at any time during skid removal.
Place the machine on t he gr ound and r eadjust placement of the forks for saf e transport to its
destination.
Alternately, the following method may be used to lif t t he machine from the skid. Remove the table
extensions (page 11) and the lower front cover. Using lifting straps rated at 2000 lbs. or more, wrap
the straps around the m ac hine base from front to back on each side of the tabl e as shown in Fi gure 2
& Figure 3. Hoist the machine and r em ov e its skid.
IMPORTANT! Do not lift the machine by any portion of the table. The aluminum table may pull
from the base and strip it s moun ting threads. Injury may result.
