5.0 Installation / Setup
5.1 Before First Use / Preparation
1. Immediately after unpacking, examine the unit for signs of transit damage and if found contact the
shipping company.
2. Establish the oil level in the oil reservoir (17) using the oil level gauge (16). Depending on the
shipping method used, the reservoir may either be supplied full or empty. If the reservoir is empty,
it must be correctly filled before use (
See section 5.3
). If the reservoir was supplied full of oil, no
further action is required.
IMPORTANT:
Running the pump without oil will result in damage.
5.2 Removing / Replacing the Top Cover (13)
!!
IMPORTANT!!
Take care when removing the top cover. The units’ air pressure gauge is mounted to
the top cover and attaches via an airline hose to the main housing. When removing the
top cover, move slowly, taking extra care to ensure the connecting hose does not snag
or get pulled from its fittings.
When replacing the cover, gently feed the air pressure gauge hose into the main
housing, making sure the hose does not get pinched between the top cover and the
main housing.
5.3 Filling the Reservoir with Oil
IMPORTANT:
The TLA50 Range uses
ISO46 Grade Hydraulic Oil.
•
Stand the ToughLift on a firm, level surface.
•
Open the Top Cover (13), by removing the 6 Cap Screws (19) holding the cover in place.
(
See figure 4.3 - Item 19, for screw locations
).
•
Remove the filler cap (9) from the filler breather.
•
Fill the reservoir with clean, high-quality ISO46 hydraulic oil via the filler breather until the oil level
reaches the centre of the upper oil level gauge sight-glass (16).
•
Replace the filler cap (9) on the filler breather.
•
Replace the Top Cover (13) and 6 Cap Screws (19).
DO NOT
operate the ToughLift without the Top
Cover securely in place.
Ensure the oil level does not fall below the minimum level. Running the pump without oil
will result in damage.
IMPORTANT:
Only add oil to the reservoir when the lifting cylinder is fully retracted. Failure to do so will
result in the system containing more oil than the reservoir can hold.
