OPERATING INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TLA50 SERIES | TOUGHLIFT JACKING SYSTEM
- AIR DRIVEN
Hi-Force TLA50 series Air Driven ToughLift Jacking Systems are designed to be an easy to operate,
all-in-one air-powered jacking system. The mobile unit is easy to manoeuvre and the combination of an
adjustable handle and the ‘V-Lift’ system facilitates easy, accurate positioning of the lifting cylinder under
the load. Available with a 254mm or 355mm stroke length, the units have a lifting capacity of 50 tonnes at
a maximum operating pressure of 700 bar (10,000 psi). This manual applies to the Hi-Force TLA50 series
Air Driven ToughLift Jacking Systems Only. It contains the latest product information available at the time
of publication and approval. For information relating to the servicing of an Air Driven ToughLift, see the
servicing instructions, which are available on the Hi-Force website. Hi-Force reserves the right to make
changes to this document at any time without notice.
This ‘Original instructions’ document assumes that the operator carrying out any operation with this
product is trained and competent to do so. This manual does not attempt to cover all details or variations
in the equipment. Nor does thismanual claim to provide for every possible contingency met in connection
with the installation, operation, or maintenance thereof. Should further information be desired, or should
a particular problem arise which is not covered in sufficient detail, the matter should be referred to
Hi-Force.

1.0 Inspection upon Receipt
Upon receipt of the product, visually inspect the item for any evidence of shipping damage. Please note:
the warranty does not cover shipping damage. Notify the courier immediately if shipping damage is found
and refrain from putting the product into service. The carrier is responsible for repair and replacement costs
resulting from damage that occurred in transit.
2.0 Safety Precautions
2.1 Introduction
Read and follow all the instructions and safety warnings carefully before handling, installation or
use of any hydraulic equipment. Failure to do so could lead to equipment damage, equipment
failure, personal injury or even death. Hi-Force will not be held responsible for any damage to the
equipment, injury or death resulting from the unsafe use of, lack of maintenance to, or incorrect operation
of the product. If in doubt onthe correct use of any Hi-Force equipment, contact your nearest Hi-Forceoffice
or distributor. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to operate hydraulic equipment. If an operator has
not been trained on high-pressure hydraulic equipment and its safe usage, consult your local Hi-Force sales
office or distributor who can offer training courses for operators.
2.2 Work Area Safety
•Keep work areas clean and well lit. Cluttered spaces and inadequate lighting can result in
unnecessary accidents.
•Keep bystanders clear of any hydraulic tool activity. Personnel working in close-range should be
made aware of all high-pressure work before commencing.
•Ensure that the lifting device/s are placed entirely under the load and that lifting is parallel.
2.3 General Hydraulic System Safety Precautions
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, significant personal injury or death;
•When operating any hydraulic equipment, all operators should ensure that all necessary personal
protective equipment (PPE) is worn, as specified by their employer. Steel toe-cap safety shoes,
safetyglasses/visor, andprotective gloves shouldbe worn at alltimes. All relevant risk assessments
should be completed before the use of the equipment.
•Keep hydraulic equipment away from open flames and direct heat.
•NEVER use a coupler as a tool handle, especially if the system is pressurised.

•NEVER handle a pressurised hydraulic hose. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a
ruptured hose can penetrate the skin and lead to a significant medical emergency, and in some
cases, death. Should this incident occur, seek out medical attention immediately.
•Seek medical attention immediately if a hydraulic injection injury (no matter how minor) occurs.
•The system operating pressure MUST NOT exceed the pressure rating of the lowest-rated
component in the system.
•Only use hydraulic tools/cylinders in a complete and tested, coupled system. NEVER attempt to
use a tool/cylinder that is not correctly coupled to its operational pump. NEVER pressurise
uncoupled couplers.
•NEVER attempt to disconnect a hose from a hydraulic system until the system’s pressure has been
completely released. Doing so can result in that pressure becoming trapped within the system and
relieving trapped pressure can be dangerous.
•Loosening a hydraulic fitting under pressure can result in the escape of hydraulic fluid at high
pressure, which can penetrate the skin and cause significant injury or death.
•NEVER attempt to solve, or clean-up leaks in the system while the system is pressurised.
•Immediately replace any worn or damaged parts using genuine Hi-Force parts only.
•DO NOT use any hydraulic equipment if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
Lack of attentionwhilst operating high-pressure hydraulic tools canresult in personal injury or death.
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, equipment damage or minor/moderate personal
injury;
•NEVER lift, carry or move any hydraulic components by the hose or hoses connected to them.
•Avoid damaging hydraulic hoses. ALWAYS route hoses to ensure that they are free from sharp
bends and kinks. Using a sharply bent or kinked hose will result in severe back-pressure, which can
lead to hose failure.
•NEVER use a coupler/s to lift, carry or position a tool.
•Servicing of hydraulic equipment must only be undertaken by a qualified technician.
•DO NOT drop or place heavy objects on a hydraulic hose, as this may cause
internal damage, which could result in rupture of the pressurised hose. A
ruptured hose could cause significant damage to components and possible
severe injury to personal operating nearby.
•DO NOT let familiarity gained with any hydraulic tools allow you to become complacent.
Complacency with any tooling can result in a lack of discipline toward working guidelines and safety
principles.

•DO NOT remove any labels from the product. Replace any damaged or unreadable labels
immediately.
•Avoid loose clothing and jewellery that could get caught in moving parts, tie back long hair.
2.4 ToughLift Specific Safety Precautions
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, serious personal injury or death;
•DO NOT work under or near a load supported only by hydraulic means. A hydraulic cylinder/jack,
when used as a lifting device, should not be used as a load-holding device. Once lifted, all loads
should be supported using rigid mechanical structures.
•NEVER exceed the maximum rated pressure or load capacity of any hydraulic cylinder. Hi-Force
manufactures its hydraulic cylinders to operate at a maximum working pressure of 700 bar
(10,000 psi).
•DO NOT adjust or remove the external pressure relief valve on any Hi-Force product.
•ALWAYS place the unit on a flat, even surface that can support the load to be applied.
Where applicable, use an additional cylinder support base to assist in supporting the load to be
lifted.
•Avoid lifting loads that are not central to the lifting piston. Avoid offset loading as this can damage
the cylinder bores and piston rods, and also lead to unstable load lifting.
•NEVER invert the unit or lay it on its side, either in use, in transport or in storage.
•DO NOT weld any items to the ToughLift unit or modify it in any way from its delivered condition.
Your warranty may be invalidated, and it could lead to serious personal injury.
•ALWAYS use friction material under the base plate of the unit and between the jack and the load.
•ONLY lift dead-weight (static) loads. DO NOT lift dynamic loads. i.e. Loads with a shifting centre of
mass.
•NEVER exceed the maximum rated capacity of any hydraulic equipment. See section 9.
•Only use hydraulic cylinders in a complete and tested, coupled system. NEVER attempt to use a
cylinder that is not correctly coupled to its operational pump.
•Overloading hydraulic cylinders can result in component failure andpossible serious personalinjury.
•Keep hands and feet away from the cylinder during operation.

Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, equipment damage or minor/moderate personal
injury;
•To protect your warranty, only use the hydraulic oil grade specified in Section 5.3.
•When moving the unit, make sure all air supply and control pendant hoses are kept clear of the
wheels, to avoid possible damage, restriction or entanglement of the hose lines.
