Hydraulic System Warnings

Neglecting to adhere to these precautions may lead to significant personal injury, and in exceptional circumstances, may even result in fatality.

Please refrain from operating your Power Unit without hydraulic fluid, as this may result in damage to the unit.

Before attempting to lift a vehicle, it is essential to inspect all hydraulic hose fittings.

Avoid connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses when the equipment is loaded or when the hydraulic system is pressurized.

Maintain cleanliness in the Hydraulic System and ensure that the Quick-Connect Fittings are clear of any dirt or obstructions.

Avoid direct contact with hydraulic fluid; always use gloves when working with hydraulic cylinders or hoses.

Before powering up the hydraulic system, carefully check that all hydraulic

connections are secure, including fittings, hoses, and auxiliary port plugs. Examine the hydraulic hoses for any pinches or damage and replace them before use.

When working with hydraulic fluid, make sure to follow the safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

This Hydraulic Power Unit is not designed for continuous operation, as the motor is not rated for such use.

Additional Operating Information

Keep the following in mind when operating your  :

•    Use it only on a hard, flat surface.  TG2-mini30 is portable; if you move it to a new location, make sure

•    Visuallyinspectthe Liftbefore each use. Do not use it if you find any damage or severe wear to the Lift components.

•    Make sure the Anchor Bolts are securely tightened before each use; if any Anchor Bolts are loose, do not use the Lift until all Anchor Bolts are adjusted.

•    Do not block, open, or override self-closing Lift Controls; they are designed to return to the “Off” or Neutral position when released.

•    Always remain clear of the Lift when raising or lowering Vehicles.

•    Do not attempt to lift a Vehicle in any way with less than all four Lift Arms.

•    Do not remove or disable the Lift Arm Restraints.

•    Do not rock the Vehicle or remove heavy components while on the Lift; removal of Vehicle components may alter the weight distribution.

•    Do not begin working on the Vehicle until you have confirmed that both Lift Heads are securely engaged on a Safety Lock position.

•    Never move under a raised Vehicle without first confirming that both Safety Locks are secured on a locking position of the same height.

•    Always remove tools, trays, and all other equipment before lowering the Lift.

•    Never drive over the Lift Arms; make sure to rotate the Lift Arms to provide an unobstructed exit before moving the Vehicle from the Lift area.

About Lifting Points, Lift Pad Adapters and Lift Pad Extensions

An important note to keep in mind when using the  TG2-mini30 is that the raised Vehicle must be

balanced on the four Lift Arms. If the Vehicle is not balanced, it is more likely to become unstable and slide off

the Lift, possibly damaging the Lift, the Vehicle, and anything under the Lift, including injuring people.   You mustuse all four Lift Arms when raising a Vehicle. Never use just one, two, or three Lift Arms to raise a Vehicle. The Vehicle will be unstable and could slip off the Lift, possibly damaging the Lift, damaging the Vehicle, and injuring anyone under it.

To balance a Vehicle on the  TG2-mini30 Lift, you need to have the Lift Pad Adapters contact the Vehicle

on the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points. By definition, when you raise a Vehicle by its Lifting

Points,

turer’s recommended Lifting Points do not take into consideration any

major changes that might have been made to the Vehicle. If the motor is removed, for instance, or there is a 5,000 pound / 2,268 kg weight in the trunk, the Vehicle’s Lifting Points will not be the best balancing points.

Some Vehicles have indicators on the underside that identify the Lifting Points; many do not.

The best approach is to find the Vehicle’s recommended lifting points in the Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame Engaging Lifts guide, which is provided with your Lift, or contact the manufacturer of the

Vehicle. This guide also includes safe lifting suggestions, which everyone who uses the Lift should read.

Raising a Vehicle

Never raise a Vehicle whose weight exceeds the rated capacity of the Lift. Do not leave the controls until the Lift is engaged on a Safety Lock position or fully lowered. Only trained personnel should raise and lower the Lift.

This section describes how to raise a vehicle on the  TG2-mini30 Lift.

 

 

 

To Raise a Vehicle:

1.   Check the items listed

2.   Verify the Lift is fully lowered to the ground and the Lift Arms are rotated out of the Vehicle’s path in the full drive-through position.

3.   Carefully drive the Vehicle in between the Lift Posts and then stop.

When driving a Vehicle into position, keep to the middle of the area between the Posts. If you hit a Lift Arm or any other portion of the Lift, you could damage the Vehicle and/or the Lift.

4.   Put the Vehicle in park, put on the parking brake, and turn off the Vehicle.

If the Vehicle is a manual transmission, put it into first gear before turning off the motor.

5.   Get out of the Vehicle; open the doors carefully to avoid damaging them on the Lift’s Post.

6.   Position the Lift Arms until the Lift Pads are under the Vehicle and directlyunder the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are raising.

Do not guess the best location for the Adapters. You must use the

manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points. If you do not, the Vehicle

Many specialty or modified Vehicles or Vehicles with unusually short or long

wheelbases cannot be on raised on a Two-Post Frame Engaging Lift. Contact the Vehicle’s manufacturer for Raising or Jacking guidance.

Before attempting to lift a Vehicle verify:

•    The Vehicle Frame is strong enough to support its weight and has not been weakened or compromised by modification, damage or corrosion.

•    The Vehicle individual axle weight does not exceed one-half the Lift capacity.

•    The Lift Adapters are in secure contact with the Frame at the Vehicle manufacturers’ recommended Lift Points.

WARNING     Always use Safety Stands when removing or installing heavy components that may

affect the Vehicle’s center of gravity.

8.   Press and hold the Up Button on the Power Unit to raise the Lift until justbefore the Adapters make contact with the Lifting Points, then release the Up Button.

9.   Check the Arm Restraint Gears on allfour Lift Armsto make sure they are engaged and that the Lift Pads will make solid contact with the Lifting Points when raised further.

a.   To disengage the Arm Restraint Gear and unlock the Lift Arm, use the Ring to lift up on the Shaft. Refer to the figure on the next page.

b.  To engage the Arm Restraint Gear and lock the Lift Arm, push down on the Shaft while rocking the Lift Arm slightly. Refer to the figure on the next page.

 

10. Press the Up Button until the Tires of the Vehicle are a few inches off the ground.

If the Lift becomes unstable or the Vehicle starts moving, release the Up Button immediately. 11. Verify all four of the Lift Pads are making solid contact with the Lifting Points.

If any of the Lift Pads are not making solid contact with the Lifting Points, lower the Lift and adjust

the Lift Arms and Pads until they make better contact.

12. When the Vehicle is just a few inches off the ground, rock the Vehicle to make sure it is stable and balanced.

•    If the Vehicle is notstable and balanced, lower the Lift back to the ground and start over.

•    If the Vehicle isstable and balanced, you can raise it to the desired height.

Do not raise the Lift further until you are certain the Vehicle on the Lift is both stable and balanced. If the Vehicle is notstable and balanced, it could fall, which could

damage the Vehicle, damage the Lift, or injure or kill anyone under the Vehicle.

Always keep a line of sight on the Lift at all times. Ensure personnel and objects are clear of the Lift at all times.

Remain Clear of the elevated Lift until visual confirmation is made that all Safety Locks are fully engaged and the Lift is lowered onto the Safety Locks.

13. Raise the Lift until the Vehicle reaches the desired height, go up a bit further, then release the Up Button.

14. Press and hold the Lowering Handle briefly to move the Lift back down, which engages it on the closest Safety Lock.

15. When the Lift stops moving down, it is engaged on its Safety Locks; release the Lowering Handle.

Do not leave the Lift controls unless the Lift is engaged on its Safety Locks or fully lowered.

If you miss the desired Safety Lock, press and hold the Up Button again and move just past the desired Safety Lock. You’ll hear a click indicating the Safety Lock has passed a Safety Block.

Release the Up Button, then hold the Lowering Handle again to lower the Lift onto the desired Safety Lock.

Do notmove under the Vehicle until you have confirmed that the Lift is engaged on Safety Locks.

Always ensure both Safety Locks are engaged. If the Lift Heads are engaged on Safety Locks at two different heights or only one Safety Lock is engaged, the

Vehicle could become unbalanced and fall causing damage, injury or death.

16. Recheck the Lift Arms and Pads to verify they are still making solid contact with the Vehicle Lifting points.

17. Verify the Lift is engaged on the same Safety Lock on both posts (all four arms are at the same height).

Moving the Lift

The  TG2-mini30 is portable, which means you can move it around your work space, if you have installed additional anchors.

To move the Lift:

1.   Make sure the Lift is fully lowered and the Lift Arms have been removed.

Do not connect or disconnect the Hoses with the Lift in an elevated position.

2.   Press and hold the Lowering Handle for a few seconds to relieve any hydraulic pressure in the Hydraulic Hoses.

4.   Put a clean rag under the hydraulic connections near the bottom of the Hydraulic Cylinder, then disconnect the Hydraulic Hose.

Make sure to clean any Hydraulic Fluid from the Hydraulic Hoses.

5.   Loosen then remove the five Anchor Bolts from the Base Plate; Remove any shims and keep both the Bolts and shims handy for future use.

Be careful not to disturb the Post until you are ready to move it to your storage area.

We recommend that you mark or otherwise note the Shim locations used at each Anchor to help at the time of re-installation.

7.   Using a downward force, push and tilt the Post onto its Wheels, and then carefully move the Post to the desired location.

INSTALLING THE ANCHORS

Before proceeding, verify location, measurements, and that the Base Plates

 are aligned with the Chalk Lines (Figure 10). The concrete must be

 minimum of 4.25" (108 mm) thick with a minimum compressive strength of

3000 psi (20 MPa).

Follow the procedure exactly for proper fitting and alignment of Anchors.

1.            Use the Base Plate as a guide. Using a rotary hammer drill with a 7/8"

 concrete bit, drill the concrete for each anchor to a minimum depth of 5"

.      (See figure 11)

Do not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. Use caution to not move

 the Posts when drilling through the Posts. We recommend having someone

 secure or stand on the Post. Repeat for all holes on both Posts and then move

 the Posts out of the way. After drilling, thoroughly clean hole using a vacuum

cleaner or compressed air and a nylon brush.

NOTE: The drill will break through the bottom when drilling 5" in a 4.25"

 concrete slab. This is an approved practice with these Anchors.

2.            Set the Anchor Embedment Depth: Fully thread the 5/8" Setting Tool (p/n

 5530405) with Nut (p/n 5535100) and Washer into the Anchor. Set the distance

between the top of the Anchor and the bottom of the Washer to 5/8". (See figure 12)

3.            After setting the Nut and Washer, place the Anchor into the hole and hammer

downward on the Setting Tool until the Washer is flush with the surface of the

concrete. (See figure 13)

4.            To set the Anchor, tighten the Nut while holding the Bolt head (to ensure the

anchor does not spin in place). Do not use an impact wrench for this step. Tighten

 to reach an installation torque of 90 ft-lbs. (See figure 14)

5.            Once the Anchor is set, remove the Setting Tool and clear the Anchor with

 compressed air to remove any concrete dust from the threads.

NOTE: Always wear safety glasses.

 Follow drill manufacturer’s instructions.

Use only solid carbide-tipped drill bits

meeting ANSI B212.15 diameter standards.

1.   Install both Posts with Bolts and Washers to Anchors, check plumb and

 measurements as shown below.

2.   If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary under the base

plate so that when the provided 5/8 x 2" Anchor Bolts are tightened, the

Posts will be plumb both side to side and front to rear. (See figure 15)

3.   With the Shims and Anchor Bolts in place, tighten all 5/8 x 2" Anchor Bolts

tight to the Base Plate. DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH or the Anchors

 could become compromised.
