JACK MAINTENANCE
X–PRESS MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Waxing
(i.e. car wax) the horizontal main tube will aid in the
adjustment of the riser supports.
DO NOT
wax the swing arms or limb support brackets. Wipe
these parts with an oil-free cleaner.
DO NOT
try to force the jack against the upper or lower
limits of the jack ram. This could cause damage to the gear
drive parts.
Supplies/tools required:
clean cloth, silicon base lubricant,
file or fine grit sandpaper, 1/2" wrench, 5/32" punch, hammer)
To keep the X-PRESS working properly, extend the jack shaft
fully and wipe the inner tube down with a silicone base lubricant
at least
monthly
.
At least once per year—and when surfaces show wear—the jack
should be disassembled for inspection and maintenance.
Disassembly and Maintenance:
1. Raise jack approximately 4" to 6"
and then detach it from the horizontal
main tube of the X-PRESS.
2. Remove jack shield clip from bottom
of jack and slide the jack shield off
to expose the gears.
3. Drive out the roll pin in the small
gear using a 5/32" punch. Slide the
jack’s crankshaft out and remove
both gears. Then take out the drive
screw pin.
4. Separate the inner tube from the
outer jack sleeve, by tipping the
upper end of the jack down and gen-
tly sliding the two halves apart.
Remove and set aside the thrust
washer and bearing on the end of the
drive screw.
5. Inspect the ends of the inner tube and
outer jack sleeve for burrs. Use fine
grit sandpaper or a file to smooth any
rough edges on the tube ends.
6. Wipe old grease and lubricant from
tube and sleeve with a clean cloth.
Lubricate the tube mating surfaces
with a lithium-based grease.
Also clean and lubricate the jack’s
drive screw.
Reassembly:
1. Point the top end of jack threaded rod up and install the
thrust washer and bearing on the end of the drive screw.
2. Slide the outer sleeve over the drive screw, positioning the
tube slot in line with the detent in the outer jack sleeve.
3. Install the drive screw pin and slide the large gear over the
end of the drive screw, aligning the pin with the slot in the
back of the gear.
4. Slide the crankshaft half way in and install the small gear
with the teeth facing the large gear. Carefully slide the crank-
shaft the rest of the way in. Align the pin bore with the slot
in the gear and gently drive the roll pin back into the shaft.
5. Lubricate the gears; then reinstall the jack shield and jack
shield clip.
6. Remount jack assembly on the X-PRESS.
