Safety instructions

The mechanical felling wedges have been manufactured in accordance
with the generally recognized rules of technology. Nevertheless, there is
a risk of personal injury and damage to property if you do not observe
the following basic safety instructions and the warnings preceding
instructions in this manual.
> Read this manual thoroughly and completely before operating the
felling wedges.
> Keep the manual in a legible condition.
> Make sure that the manual is accessible to all users at all times and
pass it on to third parties if necessary

Intended use

The Titan 80 Pro and Titan 50 are used in timber and heavy timber
harvesting and are an alternative to wedge work with an impact wedge.
The Titan 80 Pro can be used with a ratchet or with an impact wrench up
to 1360Nm. The Titan 50 can be used with a ratchet or an impact wrench
up to 750Nm.
Compared to classic wedging with an impact wedge, the Titan 80 Pro
has the following advantages:
• Backscrewing and readjustment of the wedge is possible if
lifting height is too low
•
Effort-saving and ergonomically favourable work due to high
lifting forces and ratios
•
Increased safety when felling on slopes
• Danger of falling deadwood is reduced by vibration-free
wedging
The radio Titan 80 is also characterized by its remote controllability. This
allows the user to leave the danger zone before the tree falls and move
to the safe return point.

Limits of use

In the case of strong side or back lean, there is a risk that the hinge will
break off before the pivot point is reached, therefore the felling wedges
must not be used in these cases. Pre-damaged trees, e.g. due to fungal
decay and rot, as well as standing deadwood should also not be felled
using the felling wedges. Only healthy and normally shaped trees may
be felled with this device.
