servicing, removing, or moving this Danuser Intimidator. If there is anything in this manual
you do not understand, contact your dealer or Danuser. The safe use of this attachment is
strictly up to you, the operator. If this attachment is used, loaned, or rented by any other
person, it is the owner's responsibility to make certain that the operator prior to operating:
•
•
4
Reads and understands the Operator's Manuals
Is instructed in safe and proper use
•
The Intimidator is designed to be operated from the vehicle seat. Do not operate with
another person near or in contact with any part of the Intimidator. Keep others 100 ft.
(30.5 m) or more away from the Intimidator.
•
All operators of this attachment must read and understand this entire manual, paying
particular attention to safety messages and operation instructions, prior to assembling,
installing, operating, maintaining, servicing, removing, or moving the Intimidator.
•
Please remember it is also important that you read, understand, and follow the safety
signs on the attachment. Clean or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly read
and understood. They are there for your safety as well as the safety of others. Danuser
will furnish new safety signs upon request at no charge.
•
All things with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a
cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable
safety practices.
•
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, gloves,
and ear plugs are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, maintenance,
service, removal, or movement of the attachment.
•

WARNING
Do not exceed the vehicle’s rated operating load. If
necessary, use sufficient counterweights.
NOTE
STEP 6:
NOTE
NOTE
The Intimidator should be used while driving the vehicle forward. Do not drive
backwards to pull items. Repeatedly driving backwards while pulling items can
damage the Intimidator or vehicle coupler. Such failure and resulting damages are
not covered under warranty.
If unable to pull the item, open the jaws, back away, and fully close the jaws. Use
the bucket teeth located on the front of the jaws to excavate around the item,
digging under any roots holding the item.
Ensure the jaws are closed prior to digging or prying. Failure to do so can damage
the Intimidator. Such failure and resulting damages are not covered under
warranty.
While digging, be mindful of dirt or debris building up around the hydraulic
cylinder. A build up of dirt or debris in this area could lead to premature failure of
the hydraulic cylinder. Such failure and resulting damages are not covered under
warranty.
STEP 7:
Once the item is loosened, open the jaws and repeat the process to pull the item.
STEP 8:
Intimidators equipped with side-saw-teeth jaws may cut items in addition to
pulling them. The teeth are bi-directional and will cut while driving the vehicle
either in forward or reverse. If sawing is preferred over pulling, fully close the
jaws and position the vehicle such that the Intimidator side-saw-teeth come in
contact with the item to be cut off, near the front of the jaws.
STEP 9:
Ensure the jaws are parallel to the ground, then slowly drive the vehicle forward. A
single pass can remove up to 6” of material. In order to cut an item larger than 6”
in diameter, repeat STEP 8 on the opposite side of the item. Take care to saw such
that the cut item will fall away from the vehicle.
STEP 10: Slowly transport the item to the desired location with the jaws tilted slightly
downward, carrying the load at the minimum height required for transport.
DANGER
For operator safety, always keep the load in front of the
vehicle. Load should never be tilted toward or positioned
over the operator.
WARNING
18
Carry the load low. A heavy load can cause instability of
the vehicle. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down
on turns and watch out for bumps. Use all safety devices,
including a seat belt, as recommended in the vehicle
operator's manual.
Removal &
Storage
DANGER
Never allow anyone under
the attachment at any
time.
Before storage, the Intimidator should be thoroughly cleaned, washing off all dirt and grime.
Make sure the hydraulic system is properly sealed against contaminants entering the unit.
Always store the Intimidator in a dry, covered location.
STEP 1:
Lower the Intimidator onto a flat, level surface in an area where children do not
play.
STEP 2:
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the vehicle's auxiliary hydraulics.
WARNING
WARNING
Personal protection
equipment including hard
hat, safety glasses, safety
shoes, gloves, and ear
plugs are recommended
during assembly,
installation, operation,
maintenance, service,
removal, or movement of
the attachment.
CAUTION
Always use two people to
handle heavy, unwieldy
components during
assembly, installation,
maintenance, service,
removal, or movement of
the attachment.
Before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines or
fittings, be sure to relieve all pressure by cycling all
hydraulic controls after shutdown. Remember hydraulic
systems are under pressure whenever the engine is running
and may hold pressure after shutdown.
NOTE
Connect the quick couplers together to prevent contaminants from entering the
Intimidator's hydraulic system.
STEP 3:
Follow your vehicle operator's manual for removing an attachment. Securely
block and support the attachment.
STEP 4:
Tighten any loose nuts, bolts, and hydraulic components.
STEP 5:
Replace any damaged or missing safety signs.
STEP 6:
Lubricate the grease zerks and coat the exposed portion of the cylinder rod with
grease to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Hydraulic hose pinched or obstructed
Leaking or failed hydraulic hose
Quick couplers did not engage
Vehicle auxiliary hydraulics not engaged
Vehicle low on hydraulic oil
Cylinder damaged
Jaw obstructed
Cycle hydraulics until cylinder has completely
extended and retracted (full cycle)
Fix pinched hose or remove obstruction
Replace hydraulic hose
Check quick coupler connections to vehicle
Engage auxiliary hydraulics
Add hydraulic oil to vehicle
Contact Danuser
Ensure jaws can move freely
Interlocking portion of jaws packed with debris
Bent or damaged jaw
Remove debris
Contact Danuser
Air in hydraulic system
Jaws do not open and close
Jaws do not fully close
Difficulty pulling tree
Solution
Tree has a well developed root system
Soil is very dry and hard
Some species of trees are stronger than others
and won't pull as easy. Use the jaws to
excavate around the tree.
Soak the area around the tree with water, or
pull the tree after a rain.
For additional assistance, please call your dealer or contact Danuser direct:

Maintenance &
Lubrication
DANGER
Never allow anyone under
the attachment at any
time.
WARNING
Personal protection
equipment including hard
hat, safety glasses, safety
shoes, gloves, and ear
plugs are recommended
during assembly,
installation, operation,
maintenance, service,
removal, or movement of
the attachment.
Proper servicing and maintenance are key to the long life of any attachment. Careful
inspection and routine maintenance helps avoid costly downtime and repair. Do not use the
Intimidator with any damaged parts.
WARNING
Never check pressurized system for leaks with your bare
hand. Wear proper hand and eye protection and use wood
or cardboard when searching for suspected leaks. Oil
escaping from pinhole leaks under pressure can penetrate
skin and create a serious medical emergency. If any fluid
is injected into the skin, gangrene, blood poisoning, even
death may result. Obtain medical attention immediately.
WARNING
Do not modify the attachment. Modifications may weaken
the integrity of the attachment and may impair the safety,
function, life, and performance of the Intimidator.
CAUTION
When making repairs or servicing the Intimidator, use
only parts that meet original equipment manufacturer's
standards and requirements.
Maintenance
Inspect the attachment for any damage, worn parts, or
cracked welds. Repair or replace as necessary.
Check for damaged or missing safety signs. Replace as
necessary.
Check all fasteners. Ensure they are tight and secure.
(See Torque Values Chart.) Replace as necessary.
Check all hydraulic components for leaks or wear.
Repair or replace as necessary.

Warranty
DANUSER
LIMITED WARRANTY
Model #
Serial #
Danuser Machine Company (“Danuser”) warrants its products, under normal use and maintenance, to be free from defects in
material and workmanship for period(s) specified below from the purchase date from an authorized Danuser Dealer. Start of the
warranty period is determined by purchase date given on your returned WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM. Proof of purchase
may be required. This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of Danuser products.
Intimidator - 1 Year
Wear Items Not Covered Under Warranty - Hydraulic Hoses, Seals, and Teeth
1.
During the applicable warranty period, Danuser, at its option, will repair or replace any part determined by Danuser to be
defective. Such repair or replacement shall take place at Danuser’s factory or a location designated by Danuser. Under no
circumstances shall Danuser be obligated for the cost of any repair or replacement by anyone other than Danuser without its
express written consent.
2.
Parts may not be returned without written authorization from Danuser.
3.
Some purchased components, including but not limited to hydraulic components, are subject to the inspection and warranty of
the respective manufacturer. Thus, delays in a warranty determination can be expected while Danuser awaits their decision.
4.
This warranty is void if any attempt is made to make field repairs to hydraulic components. To qualify for warranty inspection,
the “failed” part(s) must be returned in its original “failed” condition.
5.
To make a claim under this warranty, first contact your authorized Danuser Dealer. The Danuser Dealer shall complete the
Warranty Claim Form and obtain written authorization from Danuser to return parts. All warranty claims must include detailed information regarding make and model of vehicle on which the Danuser product was mounted, hours of use,
description of events that led up to the failure, and any other information helpful in reviewing the warranty claim. All warranty
returns must be prepaid. Shipments arriving at our factory on a freight collect basis will be refused by our receiving department.
The freight charge will be credited if the parts are determined by Danuser to be defective, and the associated freight costs in
returning those parts will be prepaid by Danuser. NOTE: Hydraulic components must arrive with all ports sealed from dirt and
moisture. If a hydraulic component arrives with open ports, the warranty is void and no inspection will be made.
6.
Products or parts thereof which, as determined by Danuser’s examination, show wear from normal use, have been improperly
operated, damaged by accident or negligence, field repaired, altered or modified are not considered defective in material and
workmanship and are not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not apply to parts subject to normal wear ("Wear
Items") or to damage caused by the failure to perform recommended maintenance or to replace worn parts. This warranty shall
not obligate Danuser to bear any cost of labor for field repair, replacement, testing, or adjustment nor for damage caused by
accident, abuse, misuse, or environmental elements.
7.
Any parts or labor required to repair or replace parts not covered under this warranty will be charged to the customer. Parts
repaired or replaced by Danuser are then covered by this warranty only for the remainder of the original warranty as if such
parts were original parts.
8.
Danuser reserves the right to change its specifications and designs at any time.
This warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other express warranties, if any, including the implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose. It shall not extend beyond the duration of the expressed warranty provided herein and the remedy
for violations of any implied warranty shall be limited to repair or replacement of the defective part pursuant to the terms contained
herein. No employee, dealer, salesman, or representative is authorized to change this warranty in any way or grant any other
warranty. Danuser shall not be liable for any consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, losses, or expenses, including those
resulting from or caused by any defects.
