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.
