User Manual for TradeQuip 2058T Auxiliary Lifter

Quick guide from the manual

The TradeQuip 2058T is a 500kg capacity auxiliary lifter designed for under-hoist support of vehicle components. Before first use, you must open the breather valve and purge air from the hydraulic system. Always operate on a stable, level, and dry surface. Do not use this device as a stand-alone transmission lifter.

Safety Warnings

• Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum lifting load of 500kg.
• Surface: Use only on stable, level, smooth, and dry surfaces. Do not use on tarmac or soft surfaces.
• Usage: This is an auxiliary aid for component removal/installation. Do not use for other purposes.
• Personal Protection: Wear safety glasses, safety footwear, and protective clothing. Keep long hair contained.
• Dynamic Loading: Avoid sudden loading movements which can cause product failure.

Assembly

1. Attach the two legs (67) to the base (33) using bolts (63), lock washers (62), and washers (61).
2. Fit the four castors (68) to the legs (67) using nuts (64) and washers (65).
3. Place the saddle (25) onto the top of the piston rod (26).

Before Use

Ensure the breather valve is open. Allow the lifter to sit for one hour to let oil settle. To purge air: open the air vent screw (22) at least one full turn, hold the release handle (02) to the right, and pump the foot pedal (46) 15 to 20 times.

Operation

1. Roll the lifter into position and pump the foot pedal (46) until the saddle (25) reaches the desired height.
2. Center the load on the saddle and ensure it is stable.
3. To lower, slowly and carefully turn the release handle (02) to the right. The speed of descent is controlled by how far the valve is opened.

Maintenance

• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate pivot points, axles, and hinges with light lubricating oil or bearing grease.
• Cleaning: Keep the unit clean. Clean the piston rod with a clean oiled cloth; never use sandpaper or abrasive materials.
• Oil Level: Check hydraulic oil level annually. Drain and replace oil at least once a year. Use high-quality hydraulic jack oil only.
• Storage: Store in a dry location with the saddle fully lowered and the air vent valve closed.

Troubleshooting

If the unit fails to extend or has spongy response, check the fluid level and purge air from the system. If the unit fails to extend when pumped, check for release handle malfunction or contamination. If the cylinder does not retract, check for binding or contamination.
