JACKBEAM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
The Jackbeam should only be used with lifts installed on level concrete floors conforming to the
installation instructions for the lift. Consult lift installation instructions for concrete thickness and
strength requirements. Ensure clearance around and above lift conforms to installation instructions
for the lift.
ATTENTION! This lift is intended for indoor installation only. It is prohibited
to install this product outdoors. Operating environment temperature range
should be 41 – 104 °F (5 – 40 °C). Failure to adhere will result in
decertification, loss of warranty, and possible damage to the equipment.
Installation of lifts shall be performed in accordance with ANSO/ALI ALIS, Safety Requirements for
Installation and Service of Automotive Lifts
For additional safety instructions regarding lifting, lift types, warning labels, preparing to lift, vehicle
spotting, vehicle lifting, maintaining load stability, emergency procedures, vehicle lowering, lift
limitations, lift maintenance, good shop practices, installation, operator training and owner/employer
responsibilities, please refer to “Lifting It Right” (ALI/SM) and “Safety Tips” (ALI/ST).
For additional instruction on general requirements for lift operation, please refer to “Automotive Lift-
Safety Requirements For Operation, Inspection and Maintenance” (ANSI/ALI ALOIM).
NOTE: Air supply must be lubricated and include water separator. Failure to do so will
damage the air /hydraulic motor and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

exceed.
Observe and avoid any pinch point areas of the Jackbeam.

4.0 Position the Jackbeam on Lift
Lock out and tag out the compressed air supply to the lift. Release the stored air within
the unit by draining it by depressing the water drain at the FRL.
DO NOT USE YOUR FINGER TO DEPRESS THE DRAIN. COMPRESSED AIR
COULD ENTER YOUR BLOODSTREAM AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
Note: The Jackbeam must be positioned on the lift correctly prior to usage. The pump side of the
Jackbeam should face the direction included in Figure 2.
1. Following the manufacturer's instructions in the lift manual, lower the lift to the ground or lock
the lift on the first safety lock depending on the lifting device used to place the Jackbeam on
the rails.
2. Check the rail width between the two runways and ensure that the distance between the
railways is equal along the entire length of the lift, then check if the Jackbeam rollers can be
adjusted to the desired railway width.
3. Using a shop crane, forklift or other lifting device raise the Jackbeam and place it in between
the runways, orient the Jackbeam with air/hydraulic pump towards inwards (front and rear).
See Figure 2. Lower the Jackbeam to just above the rail on the inside of the Runway.
4. Extend each roller adapter from the base of the Jackbeam
and place on lift with the rollers centered on the deck rails.
see Figure 3.

5. Raise the lift to a comfortable working height. Check the clearance and movement of the
Jackbeam by sliding the Jackbeam forward and backward on the rails. Check that the rollers
are centered on the rails at all points along the rail's length. Adjustment of the base arms may
be necessary to assure proper operation.
6. Tighten the bolts and nuts to retain the roller adapters. See Figure 6.
7. Bolt the mounting bracket to the location on the base frames of Jackbeams that are closer to
the connection terminal on the DS runway, using the supplied hardware in the accessory kit.
Mount the terminal fitting onto the bracket. See Figure 2 & 4.
8. Remove the thread protector from the air inlet of the pump, and install the 1/4" NPT 90° elbow
from accessory kit on to the air/hydraulic pump. Then route the polytube underneath Jackbeam
from the elbow to the terminal on bracket. See Figure 5.
9. Remove 1/4" plugs from terminal at front and rear lift. Attach one end of the recoil hose to the
terminal on Jackbeam base frame, than attach the other end of the recoil hose to the terminal
fitting on the side of the lift runway. See Figure 6.

10. Remove the plug with vent breather on top of reservoir to check the hydraulic oil level and fill
as need, then replace the plug.
11.Loosen metal knob on the pump by turning counterclockwise before use. See Figure 7.
Figure 7- Copper knob on pump
12. Repeat the above process for other Jackbeam.
13. Restore compressed air supply to the lift and check for leaks.
14.Prior to placing vehicle on lift, raise and lower the Jackbeam multiple times without any load
and Do following final checks. See sections “5.0 Operation Instructions”
Final Check the followings:
Check proper function of mechanical safety locks
Check for air and hydraulic leaks
Check hydraulic oil level
Lubrication of moving components
All screws, bolts, and pins secured
Surrounding area clean
Operation, maintenance and Safety Manual on site.
AN APPROPRIATE AIR LINE REGULATOR, WATER SEPARATOR AND LUBRICATOR
SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE AIR SUPPLY LINE. THE ABSENCE OF THESE ITEMS
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS.
5.0 Operating Instructions
Raising the Jackbeam
1. Position the vehicle on the lift and raise the lift to the desired working height following the
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.

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.
