Care & Maintenance
Make sure vehicle’s gearbox is in neutral or park and start vehicle’s engine and allow to idle.
OPTION A - Air Compressor:
Inflate XJack by connecting an air line to the valve inlet – Do NOT leave unattended.
OPTION B - Vehicle Exhaust:
Firmly press rubber cone end of hose over vehicle’s exhaust pipe end, making sure the hose has
no kinks.
When X Jack is partially inflated (just touching vehicle) turn off air compressor/engine and ensure the X Jack is squarely in
position and clear of sharp edges and hot areas. Check to see if protective mats are correctly positioned –
See Note 1 below.
Restart air compressor/engine and continue to inflate X Jack until wheel is clear off the ground, then turn off air compressor/
engine. Do NOT inflate beyond required height or exceed 68.9 kPa (10psi) – X Jack does NOT need to be fully inflated for
recovery.
It is important to lower the vehicle by slowly turning the hose anti-clockwise to deflate X Jack. Ensure not to deflate too
quickly or it will cause a rapid deflation of the X Jack resulting in an uncontrolled lowering of the vehicle.
Note 1:
If X Jack does not achieve an upright position or is not positioned correctly during inflation process, stop operation.
Deflate X Jack – see Step 5 Lowering Operation then repeat Step 4 after realigning X Jack.
Note 2:
If the X Jack does not inflate, check the exhaust system for leaks.
Note 3:
Do NOT over inflate. If X Jack reaches full inflation (i.e. 10psi) or stoped lifting the vehicle, STOP operation.
Note: DO NOT get under a raised vehicle.
Note: Ensure all body parts are kept clear of vehicle whilst deflating.
If the X Jack exhibits any of the above discard the X Jack.
After recovery, ensure vehicle is stationary and secure. Remove recovery equipment.
Inspect X Jack for damage before packing. If damage noted, please do not use. Contact our office on the number stated
below for further advice.
•
Ensure X Jack is not stored in direct sunlight or wet / humid environments.
•
Do not expose X Jack to any petroleum-based products, acids or alkaline products
•
Clean X Jack in warm water and allow to dry in the shade. (Always ensure X Jack is dry prior to being stored).
•
Always inflate and deflate the X Jack several times after purchase to prolong the life of the X Jack.
•
Always inflate and deflate the X Jack several times at 3 months intervals when it has not been inflated. Inflating and
deflating the X Jack regularly not only prolongs the life of the X Jack, it also allows you to familiarise yourself with the
X Jack and its functions.
