STEP 1: Secure Vehicle from Rolling
STEP 2: Prepare X Jack
STEP 3: Position X Jack Under Vehicle
Compress X Jack with the top and base on top of each other (similar to a crushed drink can).
Connect the hose A to the X Jack inlet by turning in a clockwise direction and tighten.
Assemble hose B to hose A and lay out flat to remove any kinks.
Use protective mat between the vehicle and the X Jack to help prevent punctures.
Select a strong underbody location capable of supporting weight of vehicle. Never locate under fuel tanks, fragile plastic
body parts or exhaust system. Avoid sharp body protrusions, brackets, bolts or edges. See figure 1 for recommended
recovery locations.
Where possible use X Jack on level ground.
