operating instructions noted in the lift operating manual. Always ensure that the lift is securely
positioned on the mechanical safety locks prior to raising the vehicle off the runways.

10 of 19
2. Position the Jackbeam at the correct lifting points for the vehicle. Refer to the vehicle
manufacturer’s literature or, "lifting it right guide" or "vehicle recommend lift points guide" for
correct lifting locations.
3. Choose the appropriate pad adapter and ensure it is properly seated into the lifting arm.
Extended the lifting arms into position under the vehicle lift points as necessary.
4. Press and hold the Raise end of the pedal
of Air/Hydraulic pump until the vehicle
wheels have sufficient clearance from the
runway surface for the type of service being
performed. Ensure that the Jackbeam can
be lowered onto a mechanical safety lock.
See Figure 8.
5. Press the Lower end of the pedal of
Air/Hydraulic pump to lower the Jackbeam
until it is secured on the mechanical lock.
Lowering the Jackbeam
1. Raise the Jackbeam off the mechanical safety lock. Then release the safety lock by pushing
and holding the Safety Release Handle. See Figure 9.
2. Press the Lower end of the pedal of Air/Hydraulic pump to release pressure allowing the
Jackbeam to lower to its full down position.
3. Once Jackbeam is completely collapsed, release the safety lock.
NOTE: The Safety Release handle is gravity returned to “reset” the safety.
NOTE: After reading these instructions, get familiar with the controls by running the
Jackbeam through a few cycles before loading vehicle on lift.

6.0 Storage Position of Jackbeam
In order to allow for adequate vehicle drive-on clearance,
1. When not in use, store Jackbeams towards the center of the lift.
2. Ensure lift is fully collapsed.
3. Remove lifting pads if additional clearance is required.
7.0 Positioning of Vehicle on Jackbeam
1. The vehicle must be positioned correctly on the lift prior to raising the vehicle with the
Jackbeam. With the vehicle’s center of gravity equally spaced between the runways, the
Jackbeam can be used to lift the vehicle. Then raise the runways to desired working height.
NOTE: Make sure to set parking brake and use wheel chocks to secure vehicle in
position before raising the vehicle.
ATTENTION: Lifting an improperly positioned vehicle with Jackbeam
increases the possibility of one deck leading or lagging the other deck.
2. Raise the lift to the desired working height, move the Jackbeam to the desired pickup area.
Refer to the "Lifting points guide" for vehicle lifting information.
3. NOTE: Lift vehicle at vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pickup points only. Please refer to
ALI/LP-GUIDE, Vehicle Lifting Points/Quick Reference Guide for Frame Engaging Lifts.
4. Select lifting points that are the same distance from the centerline of the vehicle, i.e. position
the lifting pads so that they make contact at the same point on each side of the vehicle.
5. With the Jackbeam positioned at the desired location, select the proper lifting pads to insert
into the arms. If required, add a 2-7/16" extension adapter below vehicle.
ATTENTION: Use the same size pad extension adapter on each lifting arm.
Failure to adhere may cause vehicle damage and/or personal injury.
6. Extend the arms to the desired pickup point. If required, raise the Jackbeam so the arms can
be extended above the runways.
ATTENTION: Lifting arms should be extended equally as to avoid any off-
load the vehicle that may cause vehicle damage and/or personal injury.

7. As the Jackbeam raises the vehicle, the load on the Jackbeam is transferred from the rollers to
the lift. The roller assemblies on the Jackbeam are spring loaded and are meant to carry the
weight of the Jackbeam only. When load is applied, the structure cannot be moved.
8. When the vehicle is raised to the desired working height, lower the Jackbeam onto the nearest
safety lock before servicing the vehicle, refer back to section “5.0 Operation Instructions”.
9. To lower the vehicle, refer back to section “5.0 Operation Instructions”.
ATTENTION! Do not raise lift while vehicle is supported by the Jackbeams.
Failure to adhere may cause vehicle damage and/or personal injury.
8.0 Recommended Maintenance
Daily:
1. Inspect that the Jackbeam is in proper working condition.
2. Make certain that the automatic engaging safety drops into place when the Jackbeam is raised
and that it will release when held in the up position during lowering.
3. Inspect air/hydraulic system for leaks.
4. Inspect for loose bolts, broken/damaged components. Replace as required.
5. Keep the entire Jackbeam as clean as possible at all times.
6. Ensure that the lifting arm stops are working correctly. Fully extend each arm until the stop
engages.
7. Inspect condition and stack ability of lifting pads. Replace any broken or damaged
components.
8. Check filter lubricator oil level and fill if needed. Hydraulic oil: ISO 32 (10 weight).
Monthly:
1. Keep the air source clean and make certain that an air filter is used to keep dirt out of the air
motor. To maintain a clean shop air supply, an FRL (Filter/Regulator/Lubricator) should always
be in good working order in conjunction with the use of an oiler/separator.
NOTE: It is the user(s) responsibility to supply an air filter/lubricator to ensure a clean dry air
source is provided to the air/hydraulic pump. Failure to provide clean dry air may void
manufacturers’ warranty. Please contact customer service regarding Optional Kit # 0100.
2. Check functionality of the rollers, keep clean.
