Safety instructions are described on a continuous basis in the description of each XLifter function.
However, below is an overview of the most important ones:
General warnings:
Warning:
Ensure that the XLifter is operated only by a person familiar with this manual. If
another person is driving, please activate the Keylock function before, as a safety measure.
(see chapter 5.4)
Warning:
If an XLifter is left installed in the vehicle when it is sold, notify the new acquirer
and familiarize him with this manual. Please keep this manual permanently in the vehicle
in an accessible location for a future reference.
Warning:
Do not use XLifter while driving on the public roads. Do not lower or raise the
vehicle at high speeds.
Warnings for the lifter and lifer-free functions:
Warning: when in extreme lifts
- “Sky Rocket” (+75 mm) or any lift program while the
“original” vehicle height is Off Road, please
be gentle with the accelerator pedal in case,
when you have low-range engaged
and you are steering hard to the left or right.
The
driveshafts to CV joints angle is very high. Don’t overstress the CV joints.
Warning:
In the original “Off Road” vehicle height, it is not recommended to lift the vehicle
with XLifter by more than +25 mm permanently due to possible increase wear of the air-
springs.
Be gentle to the vehicle compressor! The compressor will overheat when the vehicle is
lowered/raised several times (3x is usually enough) in a row. When overheated, the Land
Rover EAS unit inhibit further operation until cooled. Cooling takes about 10 minutes.
Warning for the levelling function:
Warning: NEVER EVER start the levelling function while driving!!!
The wheels height will
be set differently, which results to potentially dangerous situation. Start levelling only when
the vehicle is stationary!
When active, the levelling function must be exited before driving!
Otherwise you start
driving with unbalanced wheel heights, exposing yourself to potentially dangerous
situations and you may even damage your vehicle!
NEVER leave the camping place with
levelling still active!
Do not engage electronic park break (EPB) before or during levelling. It will cause
unnecessary tension in park break cables, which will counteract wheel movement. You
may use the “P” gear instead in the automatic gearbox vehicles.
Warning:
Close all doors before starting the levelling function to prevent possible damage
due to contact with surrounding ground.
