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.
