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.
