5.0 Installation & Setup
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 7. Make sure
there are no missing items.
5.2 Uncrating
The Titan 230 weighs approximately 1,000 lbs (454 kg). 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 skid is designed to allow
the machine to be rolled off without any special lifting equipment. The machine is held in place by
two, 2x4 braces lag bolted to the skid. All accessories are shipped inside of the machine.
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 all lag screws from the skid. Remove the lower front cover of the Titan 230 and remove the
two lag screws in the base. Remove the accessories.
Using the rear bumper board, pry one side of the machine up, and slide out the top layer of the
support riser (Figure 2). Do the same on the other side.
Figure 2
Use the flat board provided as a ramp and position as shown in (Figure 3 on page 10). Hold the ramp
in place with the nails provided. Make sure the casters are not locked and very carefully roll the
machine down the ramp. The cutter may now be rolled into position.
