5.0 Installation & Setup
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.

5.3 Cleaning
After unpacki ng, wipe down all machine panels and clean the table surface. The touch screen and
control console should be c leaned using a mild water-based soap solution. DO NOT use petroleum
or oil based solvents as they wi ll damage the touch screen and control console.
5.4 Fitting Throu gh N ar ro w Door
As shipped, the Tit an 265 c utt er will not fit through an opening less than 57” (137 cm). With the
extension tables removed, it will fit through a 46-1/2” (118 cm) opening. With the table and electric
eyes removed, it will fit through a 32” (81.3 cm) opening.
5.4.1 Removing the Extension Tables
Make sure power is disconnect ed from the machine. Remove the f r ont t able plate (Figure 4) by
removing the hex nut s. Rem ov e the extension table hardware and remov e extensi on tables.
NOTE: There may be shims locat ed between the extension tables and the ext ensi on table brackets.
These are used for l ev eling the extension tables at the factor y . Take not e as to where they are
located so they c an be plac ed in the proper posi tion when reattaching the extension tables later.

5.4.2 Removing the Table
Make sure the knife has been removed from the machine and that the knif e and clamp ar e in the “up”
position. If they are not , read the Power Hookup Section (page 17) to connec t power to the machine.
Turn on the power using the red and y ellow main power switch, and press the CLEAR butt on. This
will preset the back gauge and send the k nife and clamp up.
Turn off the machi ne and disconnect the power.
Make sure the extension tables have been removed (page 11). Remov e the 2-hand button controls.
Remove the sheet metal c ov er s fr om the r ear of the t able. Remove the backgauge motor cover, the
lower back panel, and the lower front cover of the machine.
Unplug the cabl e to the encoder at t he bac k of the machine (Figure 5). Remove the motor juncti on
box cover and disconnect the wires to the motor (Figure 5). Rem ov e the leadscrew cover and the
nylon tyraps that ar e att ac hed to the bottom of the table. The motor wires and encoder wires shoul d
now be free from the tabl e.

5.4.3 Removing the Electric Eyes
Make sure power is disconnect ed from the machine. Open top cov er. Remove the four hex -head
screws for each el ectri c ey e assem bly from the inside of the machine. By slidi ng some of the sl ac k in
the cable through t he si de of t he m ac hine, t he ey e assem blies can be set on the machine. If it is
necessary to completely remove the eyes from the machine, the wires must be disconnected from t he
power panel.
5.4.4 Removing the Footswitch
Make sure power is disconnect ed from the machine. Remove lower fr ont cover. Remove the two
screws that mount the f ootswitch bracket (Figure 9). Lay footswitch assembly inside t he m ac hine.

5.4.5 Attaching the Table
Set the table in posi tion, and start its front two mounting screws. Then start the rear two mounti ng
screws. Replace the t wo taper pins (must be snug to seat the table), and then tighten all four screws.
Attach the right and left si de guides then re-adjust the left hand side guide support screw until it
contacts the side guide and tighten the jam nut. (Figure 7 & Figure 8 on page 13), the preset board
assembly (Figur e 6 on page 13) , t he m otor and enc oder wir e ( Figure 5 on page 12) and all guards
and panels.
Once the table is instal led, the backgauge squareness and accur ac y m ust be r eadjusted. See the
Titan 265 Technic al S ervice and Parts manual for information on how to do this.
5.4.6 Attaching the Extension Tables
Attach the ext ensi on table support brackets to the under side of the main table as shown in Figure 10,
but do not tight en screws completely. Route each cut button wire thr ough the slots in the brackets
while attachi ng them. Next, place any shims that were instal led at the factory in the positi on they
were in when the extension tables were removed. Lay the table extensions in place and insert the
screws. Align the front edges of the tables and tighten screws. Attach the front table plate.

5.4.7 Attaching the Electric Eyes
Make sure power is disconnect ed from the machine. If necessary, connect the wires to the power
panel. Attac h electri c ey e assemblies with provided hardware, m aki ng sure that the bottom of the
electric ey e housings are paral lel to the table. Once power is hooked up, the electric eyes should be
checked for alignment. See the Titan 265 Technical Servic e and P arts manual for information on how
to do this.
5.4.8 Attaching the Footswitch
Make sure power is disconnect ed from the machine. Attach the foot switc h br acket using the
mounting hardware (F igure 9, page 14).
5.5 Hydraulic System Check
The Titan 265 is powered by a hydraul ic system consisting of an electric m otor c oupled directly to a
hydraulic pump.
The hydraulic r eservoir holds 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid. It is filled with Tellus #46 hydraul ic fluid at
the factor y but shoul d be c hec k ed before operation. Remove the lower rear panel c ov er. Check the
sight gauge on the rear si de of t he hy dr aulic tank. Fluid should just be vi si ble in the si ght gauge
(Figure 11, next page). Add fluid if necessary, but avoid overfilling. For more inform ation about
checking and changing the hydraulic fluid, including a cross-referenc e c har t of appr ov ed fluids, See
the Titan 265 Technical Service and Parts manual. When finished, replace the panel.
