JACKING BEAM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
The jacking beam 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).

The jacking beam is fully assembled and packaged to protect it from any damage that may occur
during shipping. Included are the following components:
- Jacking beam assembly
- Jacking beam keeper kit
Installation
1. Position the jacking beam on the lift so that the rollers rest on the rails on the inside edges of
the runways. The pump side of the jacking beam should face outwards.
2. Bolt on the keeper brackets using the supplied hardware in the keeper kit.
3. The jacking beam must be connected to the air supply in order to operate. Install the ¼” NPT
90° elbow from the keeper kit on to the pump.
4. Attach the recoil hose to the ¼” NPT 90° elbow.
5. Attach the other end of the recoil hose to the air fitting on the side of the lift runway.
NOTE: Keep the air source clean and make certain that an air filter/oiler is used to keep
dirt out of the air motor. Failure to provide clean air may void manufacturers warranty.

Positioning of Jacking Beam on Lift
1. The jack must be positioned on the lift correctly prior to usage.
2. Pull out each adapter from the sides of the Jacking Beam and place lift so that the center of
the rollers is on the jack beam rails.
3. To ensure that the Jacking Beam is centered between the decks, the adapters must be equally
spaced on both side of the base. Tighten stop screws.
NOTE: DO NOT EXTEND ADAPTERS MORE THAN 3” FROM BASE. SAFETY
STOP SCREWS ARE PROVIDED.
Positioning of Vehicle on Jacking Beam
1. The vehicle must be positioned correctly on the lift prior to raising the vehicle with the
jacking beam.
LIFTING AN IMPROPERLY POSITIONED VEHICLE WITH THE JACK
BEAM INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF ONE DECK LEADING OR
LAGGING THE OTHER DECK.
NOTE: USE ONLY THE SAME LIFTING PADS ON BOTH ARMS.
2. Move the jacking beam to the desired pickup area and connect the air line (if not permanently
connected).
NOTE: EASE OF POSITIONING WHILE JACKING BEAM IS NOT UNDER LOAD
IS DUE TO THE TRACK ROLLER ASSEMBLIES. THE ROLLER ASSEMBLIES
ARE SPRING LOOADED TO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE JACK ONLY. WHEN
THE JACKING BEAM IS UNDER LOAD THE JACK RESTS ON ITS STRUCTURE
AND CANNOT BE MOVED.
3. With the jacking beam positioned at the desired working location, select the proper lifting
pads. Insert the lifting pads into the arms.
NOTE: LIFT VEHICLE AT MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED PICKUP
POINTS ONLY. PLEASE REFER TO “LIFTING IT RIGHT” (ALI/SM).
4. With the vehicle’s center of gravity equally spaced between the decks, the jacking beam can
be used to lift the vehicle. Select lifting points that are the same distance from the centerline
of the vehicle, i.e. position the jack beam pads so that they make contact at the same point on
each side of the vehicle.

Raising the Jack Beam
1. Press the up button and hold until jacking beam is at full working height and the automatic
safety is in place. Lower the jack beam onto the safety (Note: there are two safety stops to
allow multiple working heights).
NOTE: NEVER WORK ON A VEHICLE UNLESS THE SAFETY LOCK IS
ENGAGED AND THE JACKING BEAM CANNOT BE LOWERED.
Lowering the Jack Beam
1. To lower the jacking beam, first raise the jack up off the mechanical safety lock and release
the safety lock using the safety release lever.
NOTE: THE SAFETY LEVER MUST BE MANUALLY HELD IN THE RELEASED
POSITION.
2. Press the control handle to release pressure allowing the jacking beam to lower to its full
down position.
3. Never operate a jacking beam that is not in proper working order or in a manner not
recommended by the vehicle or jacking beam manufacturer.
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MECHANICAL SAFETY IS ENGAGED WHENEVER
A VEHICLE IS SUPPORTED BY THE JACKING BEAM.
Recommended Maintenance
1. Inspect the jacking beam on a daily basis to ensure the jacking beam is in proper working
condition.
2. Make certain that the automatic safety drops into place when the jacking beam is raised and
that it will release when held in the down position during lowering.
3. Check the hydraulic fluid when jacking beam is in the lowered position by removing the
filler breather cap.
4. Keep the air source clean and make certain that an air filter is used to keep dirt out of the air
motor.
5. Keep the entire jacking beam as clean as possible at all times.
6. To maintain a clean shop air supply, (oil, lube, filter and regulator) should always be in good
working order in conjunction with the use of an oiler/separator.
