5.1 Inspecting Shipment

This machine has been carefully packed to prevent damage during shipment. However, claims for
damage or loss are the responsibility of the recipient. Inspect all shipments as soon as they are
received. If there is any noticeable damage, note it on the freight bill. Visual and/or hidden damage
must be reported 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. This machine is
shipped on a wooden skid and enclosed in a protective, corrugated top. The machine is secured in
place with (4) lag screws. All accessories are packed in a separate box.
Remove the carton by removing the nails or staples holding it to the skid and lift it straight up over the
cutter. If you don't have the ceiling clearance to do this, carefully slit the carton down the side and
then unwrap it from around the cutter. Remove 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 reservoir.
The machine may then be removed from the skid. A fork-lift may be used if the forks will extend to
the back of the machine base. Raise the machine enough to create a small clearance between the
skid and machine. Make sure the forks engage the fork pockets found beneath the base. Remove
the skid.
Place the machine on the ground and readjust placement of the forks for safe transport to its
destination.
Alternately, the following method may be used to lift the 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 machine base from front to back on each side of the table as shown in Figure 2
& Figure 3. Hoist the machine and remove its skid.
IMPORTANT! Do not lift the machine by any portion of the table. The aluminum table may pull
from the base and strip its mounting threads. Injury may result.
