5
causing serious personal injury or death.
•Do not operate in an environment that is not well-lite.
REMOVING THE TREE SHEAR FROM STEEL CRATE
•Engage the skid steer Quick Tach wedges to the Tree Shear or prime mover and tilt it
backward until the Tree Shear mount plate is flush against the Quick Attach loader.
•Lock the levers latch pins in full length through the lower slots of the Tree Shear mount
plate.
•Cut off all wires that tie the Tree Shear on the steel crate, unbolt the top frame of the
steel crate, and then remove the top frame.
•Lift the Tree Shear out of the steel crate.
•Cut off the nylon straps that tie oil hoses on the Tree Shear and free the hoses.
•Check dust and dirt on the male and female flat face couplers, and wipe off dust and dirt
before connecting to the skid steer or prime mover.
•Turn down the skid steer or prime mover engine to deactivate the hydraulic pressure of
the auxiliary oil circuit.
•Connect the Tree Shear oil hoses to the skid steer.
BEFORE CUTTING
Read this manual and the manual of the skid steer or prime mover for safely operating the unit,
mainly to stop the unit quickly in the event of an emergency.
•Check and replace parts that show signs of wearing.
•Check for loosening bolts, nuts, and pins and tighten.
•Check hydraulic connection for leakage and reconnect or replace if necessary.
•Check if all moving parts are sufficiently greased and apply grease if necessary.
•Check if the Tree Shear is engaged securely onto the skid steer Quick Tach with pins
fully engaged.
•Assess if counterweight to improve stability is necessary.
For first time use, make sure that the hydraulic oil is sufficient. Open and close the Tree
Shear slowly several times and recheck oil level. Add oil to machine if necessary.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE CUTTING TREES
Operators should only cut trees inside skid steer cabin or operator’s station with seat belts
securely fastened. Put on personal protective equipment such as helmet, safety glass, dust
mask, etc., As stated in the QUALIFIED OPERATOR section.
•Do not cut trees with bystanders and livestock within proximity of 120 feet. Stop cutting
when bystanders or livestock enter the work area. Flying debris and branches could
cause severe injury or death.
•Avoid cutting in the proximity of above-ground utilities. Flying debris and branch could
break power, gas, water, sewer lines, etc., leading to electrical shock or fire hazards.
•Do not cut trees where overhead power or communication line is less than 12 feet
above. Flying debris and branches could damage these lines causing hazards, severe
injury, or death.
•Check the environment carefully, as stated in the ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS section,

6
to avoid uneven ground, slope, obstacles, bad weather, lighting conditions, etc. to avoid
accidence.
•Use counterweight recommended by your skid steer or prime mover dealers to improve
•stability and balance during operations.
CUTTING TREES
•Begin to cut trees only after taking all the precautions stated in the previous sections.
•Turn the engine to idle speed before engaging auxiliary hydraulic to the Tree Shear.
•Warm up engine for at least 2 minutes before engaging auxiliary hydraulic to the Tree
Shear with gradual incremental speed.
•Open and close the Tree Shear a few times to make sure that it functions properly
before cutting.
•For maximum shearing power, use full RPM. Using low RPM could lead to blade
jamming.
•If the blade jams, do not attempt to remove the jammed debris or branches by hand.
•Use a reasonably long rod to remove the debris. Before unjamming the blade, make
sure that the engine is off, and all moving parts come to a complete halt.
•Titan TS005 is adjustable in 3 angles – horizontal, 45°, and vertical. Never attempt to
adjust the shear angles when the engine is still running.
Never adjust the shear angle without closing the blade thoroughly.
•To adjust the shear angle, raise the Tree Shear slightly above ground to a comfortable
maneuvering height of about 18”. Remove the lock pin and Shear Bracket Lock Pin from
the pin sleeve. Turn the blade to the desired angle, insert the Shear Bracket Lock Pin to
the pin sleeve, and secure the safety pin with the cotter pin.
•Do not attempt to shear trees with a diameter of more than the 12” stated capacity of
Titan TS005.
•Titan TS005 is capable of cutting trees up to 12” in diameter. However, a second shear
action may require some hardwoods like oak or wood that is wet.
•The Tree Shear is not intended to be used as a puller or bulldozer. Never attempt to pull
trees to break away or to push objects on the way. This activity could not only cause
damage to the equipment but could cause the skid steer or prime mover to roll over,
resulting in severe injury or death.
•Do not fell a tree that is leaning across the line of skid steer or prime mover travel.

7
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.

The minimum torque for tightening hardware is shown below:
•M12: 67 lb. Ft (90 N.m)
•M16: 163 lb. Ft (220 N.m)
•M24: 518 lb. Ft (518 N.m)
•M42: 2960 lb. Ft (4000 N.m)
Lubricate all moving parts. The 4 grease points (A/B/C/D) are shown below:
When the Tree Shear is dry, check places where paint is scratched or worn and repaint.
•Apply antirust oil to surface where necessary.
•Store the Tree Shear in shed and dry place.
•If not functioning properly, always tag “DO NOT OPERATE” until all problems are
corrected.
•Never make hydraulic repairs while the system is under pressure. Serious personal
injury or death could result.
•Regular and proper lubrication all of moving parts with a quality lubricant is needed for
efficient operation of your machine. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency, heavy draft,
wear, breakdown, and needless replacement parts.
•All parts provided with grease fittings should be lubricated as indicated. If any grease
fittings are missing, replace them immediately. Clean all fittings thoroughly before using
the grease gun.
IMPORTANT: Avoid excessive greasing. Dirt collects on exposed grease and greatly increases
wear. After greasing wipe off excessive grease from fittings. When the Tree Shear is dry, check
places where paint is scratched or worn and repaint.
EVERY 8 HOURS OF OPERATION
•Grease all swivel points thoroughly. Excessive wear and even mechanical damage to pins
and cylinders can result from inadequate lubrication. Lubricate all grease fittings with
SAE Multi-Purpose grease.
•Check all nuts and bolts; tighten if loose.
•Visually inspect the machine for worn parts or cracked welds. Repair or replace as
necessary.
