Installing HD2

Installing Heavy Duty 2

PLEASE READ THIS page before beginning your installation!

HD2 must be ordered as right hand or left hand. Verify which model you have before you start the installation, because it affects how you set up tables and other parts. It's important to order HD2 correctly—no switching sides after the machine is built!

HD2 machines up to 27' (8.235m) length are shipped fully assembled (Fig. 1). However, the components listed below require some assembly by the user:

The controller (Fig. 2) with its mounting bracket (control stand, Fig. 3) and control cable (Fig. 4).

The amplifier box (a TigerStop motor box, no motor inside) with its mounting bracket (Fig. 5), attached by cables to the far end of the beam (Fig. 6), unsupported, and the power cable (Fig. 7).

Support the amp box when lifting the HD2 out of the crate, to prevent damage.

The red pusher arm (Fig. 8) and its attachment bolts.

Quick Reference cards (Fig. 9), Installation booklet, and HD2 Manual binder.

Other items, not part of the basic HD2, are also packed in the HD2 crate, such as:

Feed tables, including the leg stands, are shipped on their own skids, not in the HD2 crate!

TigerStop Heavy Duty 2 needs its own 110v 15a grounded power circuit! Each new HD2 is supplied with an internal line filter.

All four faces of the fence beam have full-length T-slots used to:

Assemble the sections of the beam,
Attach the ¼" steel face plates, and
Mount HD2 to supporting structures, such as feed tables.

Feed table installation may require drilling and tapping holes in a free-standing saw or other equipment.

TigerStop Heavy Duty 2 must be installed in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations, as well as common sense safety requirements. Use only trained professionals when installing HD2 with existing equipment to ensure a safe and proper work station that will in no way endanger the operator or any other personnel. Do not operate HD2 without proper training, both in HD2 operation, and in the operation of adjoining equipment.

CAUTION! NEVER drill holes into the HD2 fence beam for any reason!

To install HD2, first assemble and install the feed tables, then mount HD2 on them. Keep in mind that…

HD2 Right hand is installed on the right side of the tool; HD2 Left hand is installed on the left side of the tool.

HD2 overall length is 36" (91.5cm) longer than its travel length, e.g., HD2R-012 is 15' (4.575m) long.

HD2 may be installed with its far end the end of the TigerStop fence beam farthest away from the motor box, opposite of motor end, a physical designation of the TigerStop; on an HD2, the far end is where the access portals are located, opposite the tool end extending beyond the end of the feed table, as long as this does not create a safety hazard.
