The Titan 80 Pro has 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.

Titan 80 Pro.

Intended use
The Titan 80 Pro is used in heavy timber harvesting and is an alternative
to heavy wedge work. The Titan 80 Pro can be used with a ratchet or
with an impact wrench (up to 1300 Nm). Compared to classic wedges,
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
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 Titan 80 Pro
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 Titan 80 Pro. Only healthy and normally shaped trees may be
felled with this device.
The Titan 80 Pro does not replace the use of a wire rope or winch.
Intended use also implies that you have read and understood this
manual in its entirety and in particular the chapter "Safety instructions".
