BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE, READ THIS MANUAL
COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY, UNDERSTAND ITS
OPERATING PROCEDURES, SAFETY WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
CAUSE ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS OR FATAL
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
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
is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in
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,
contact Norco Industries, Inc. for a free replacement. If the operator
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.
WARRANTY
This product is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. For details
see the back cover of Norco’s product catalog.
IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING
• Visual inspection shall be made before each use of the portable
automotive lifting device by checking for abnormal conditions,
such as cracked welds, excessive wear, leaks, and damaged,
loose, or missing parts. The device shall be removed from
service until repaired by a Norco Authorized Service Center if
the visual inspection reveals any problems.
• A devise which is believed to have been subjected to an
abnormal load or shock should be inspected by a Norco
Authorized Service Center.
• Owners and/or operators are responsible for having the device
annually inspected by a Norco Authorized Service Center and
any defective parts, decals, or safety labels must be replaced
with Norco’s specified parts. Contact the Norco Customer
Service Office for the location of the closest Norco Authorized
Service Center.
• Only trained operators should use this jack. It is the owner’s
responsibility to make sure all trained personnel read and
understand the product label and this instruction sheet prior to
using the jack.
• Because of potential hazards associated with this type of
device, no alterations or modifications shall be made to it and
no attachments and/or adapters shall be used unless supplied
by Norco.
• Before lifting a load, refer to the vehicle’s service manual or
inquire from the vehicle manufacturer the recommended jack
lifting points and jack stand support surfaces on the vehicle
chassis or components.
• This jack was designed for lifting purposes and sometimes
can be used to support the load immediately after it is lifted. If
the jack is used to support the load, two jacks must be used in
accordance with step 8 of the Operating Instructions section
of this manual. If the jack is not used to support the load
immediately after lifting, use two jack stands in accordance with
step 7 of the Operating Instructions section of this manual.
• Do not exceed rated capacity. Lift only dead weight.
• Do not exceed 200 P.S.I. input air pressure.
• Center the load on the saddle.
• Use only on hard, level surface.
• During lifting, inspect the position of the jack and its saddle in
relationship to the vehicle to prevent any unstable conditions
from developing. If conditions look like they are becoming
unstable, slowly lower the load and make the appropriate setup
corrections after the load is fully lowered.
