DIRECTING THE PROPER FELLING PATH 

To determine the desired direction that a tree is to fall is a vital step. There are many factors to 
consider. Think about the path of the fall and pinpoint potential hazards. When a tree is leaning, 
it is typically easier to fall the tree in the direction it is already leaning. When working on a slope, 
there is always a chance that the tree will slide or roll. Always fell the tree so that the base faces 
the direction of removal. 
 

EVALUATE WORK AREA: 

The work area shall be at least two tree lengths of the tree fall. A distance greater than two tree 
lengths shall maintain on any slope where tree rolling or sliding, or logs is reasonably foreseen. 
No one should enter the work area until the machine operator has acknowledged that it is safe 
to do so. 
 

 

WARNING!

 Block off the work area from bystanders and livestock, etc. Do not operate 

the tree shear if people are in the felling area. Stop operation immediately if people or 
livestock enter the work area. 

 

WARNING!

 Before exiting the prime mover, lower the attachment to the ground, apply 

the parking brakes, turn off the engine and remove the key.  

 

WARNING When shearing a tree on a slope, always approach the tree from an uphill 
direction. Never attempt to fell a tree from the side or a downhill direction. 

 

The Titan TSOO5 attaches to the quick attach appliance of the skid steer. Thus, thorough 
knowledge of the skid steer is required for machine operation. Read and understand the 
skid steer's operator's manual before attempting ·to use the tree shear.  

 

POTENTIAL HAZARDS:

 Determine the hazards that exist for the area and types of trees you are 

working with and eliminate or minimize your exposure to these hazards. 
  

 

Turn off auxiliary hydraulic entirely after use. 

 

Before exiting the skid steer or prime mover, lower the unit to the ground, turn off the 
engine, remove the key and apply the brakes. 

 

After cutting, close the blade altogether to avoid potential personal injury when access 
to the Tree Shear. 

 

Perform after use inspection and maintenance as described in the 

AFTER USE AND  

MAINTENANCE

 in the next section below. 

 

AFTER USE AND MAINTENANCE 

 

Inspection and maintenance can only be conducted with the engine turned off and 
auxiliary Pressure completely disengaged.  

 

Lower the Tree Shear to flat ground, apply brakes, turn off the engine and remove the 
key. 

 

Put on personal protective equipment apparel as described in previous sections. 

 

Each time after use, clean the Tree Shear thoroughly and remove all debris, jams, and 
clogs in the shear bracket. 

 

Visually inspect if there are any parts damaged, repair, and replace if necessary. 

 

Check if there is any loosen or damaged hardware, tighten or replace hardware if 
necessary.
