OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Become familiar with the operation of the handle. Turning the
handle in a clockwise direction until tightened will enable the jack lift
arm to be raised when pumping the handle up and down. Turning
the handle in a counterclockwise direction will enable the jack lift
arm to be lowered.
IMPORTANT: It will never be necessary to
turn the handle more than two complete revolutions in the
counterclockwise direction. When lowering a load, be careful
to turn the handle in a counterclockwise direction very slowly
for controlled lowering of the load.
2.
With the jack in the lowered position, push the jack under the
vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Use the manufacturer’s recommended
lifting procedures and lifting points before lifting loads.
3.
Close the release valve in preparation for lifting the load by
turning the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Pump the
jack handle to raise the lifting saddle up to the recommended
lifting point. Check to see that the lifting point is centered on the
lifting saddle and the majority of the weight is not supported by the
peripheral edge of the lifting saddle at any single point.
4. IMPORTANT: Check to see that the ground surface around
the jack is free from wheel obstructions such as gravel, tools,
or uneven joints or edges. The jack will have a tendency to
reposition itself during the lifting process and therefore must
not be hindered by wheel obstructions.
5.
Proceed with pumping the jack so the load is lifted to the
required work height.
6.
After lifting the load, always use vehicle support stands with
an adequate capacity rating to support the load before making
any repairs or adjustments. Position and adjust the stands under
the load at points that will provide stable support. Lower the load
SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY
onto the support stands by turning
the jack handle in a counterclockwise direction very slowly.
Although jack stands are individually rated, they are to be used in
a matched pair to support one end of a vehicle only. Stands are
not to be used to simultaneously support both ends or one side
of a vehicle.
REPAIR SERVICE
If your Norco product requires service or repair, contact the Norco

It will be necessary to provide the Norco Authorized Service Center
with a copy of the bill of sale if requesting warranty repair. If the
authorized service center determines your product is eligible for
warranty repair, the repair will be made at no charge and returned
freight prepaid. The cost of non-warrantable service, repair, and
return freight is the customer’s responsibility.
1.
Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not
be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust,
or any other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water,
snow, sand, or grit before using.
2.
The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent
premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be
applied to caster wheels, front axle wheels, elevator arm, handle
base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other bearing
surfaces. See the exploded view parts drawing for the location of
the above mentioned parts. Failure to maintain proper lubrication
voids warranty.
3.
It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with
hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires
immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-free environment
by qualified hydraulic repair personnel who are familiar with this
equipment. Norco Authorized Service Centers are recommended.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure,
never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil
in the jack.
4.
Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack label
clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external
surfaces of the jack but not any moving hydraulic components.
Contact Norco Industries for a replacement label if your jack’s label
is unreadable.
5.
Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any
component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage, or
leaks hydraulic fluid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing
hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective
action before using the jack again.
6.
Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a
qualified hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this equipment.
