The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain 
hazards  that  cannot  be  prevented  by  mechanical  means,  but 
only  by  the  exercise  of  intelligence,  care,  and  common  sense.  It

the use and operation of equipment who are careful, competent, 

trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and 

its  proper  use.  Examples  of  hazards  are  dropping,  tipping,  or 
slipping of motor vehicles or their components caused primarily by 
improperly securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on 

other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose 
for which it was not designed.

It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all personnel read 
this manual prior to using this device. It is also the responsibility of 
the device owner to keep this manual intact and in a convenient 
location for all to see and read. If the manual is lost or not legible,

is not fluent in English, the product and safety instructions shall be 

read  to  and  discussed  with  the  operator  in  the  operator’s  native 
language  by  the  purchaser/  owner  or  his  designee,  making  sure 
that the operator comprehends its contents.

WARNING

Inspect the engine stand before each use. Do not use the 

• 

engine stand if it is damaged, altered, modified, in poor 

condition, or has loose or missing hardware or components. 
Take corrective action before using the engine stand.

Do not use the engine stand beyond its rated capacity. The 

• 

engine weight is determined at a point where the center of the 
engine is located not more than 18” from the mounting plate.

Use only on a hard level surface.

• 

Wear approved eye protection.

• 

Assure load is centered and secured to mounting attachments. 

• 

Consult the engine manufacturer for the proper mounting hole 
locations.

Use grade 5 bolts or better to mount adapters to engines and to 

• 

secure adapter components together. 

Threaded holes in adapters and engine blocks must be clean 

• 

and not damaged to insure thread engagement. A bolt thread 
engagement must be equal to 1-1/2 times the bolt thread 
diameter in order to maintain strength requirements.

Lock the mounting head assembly rotating mechanism by 

• 

tightening the two hexagonal head bolts on top of the stand’s 
upright tube before applying a load.

Off-center loads may make the load and handle rotate in 

• 

either direction when the rotational locking devise is released. 
Release the rotational locking devise slowly and carefully by 
backing off the hexagonal head bolts on top of the stand’s 
upright tube one at a time.

Keep body from underneath engine when being lifted or suspended.

• 

No alterations should be made to this product.

• 

Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by Norco shall be used.

• 

Note: Revision letters (A, B, C, D etc.) after model numbers have been omitted as they do not affect the setup, 

operating and maintenance instructions of a particular jack unless otherwise noted.
