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.
Use only on hard, level surface.
•
Before lifting a vehicle, release the parking brake, put the
•
transmission in neutral, and chock the wheels at the end of the
vehicle that are not being lifted.
Do not exceed maximum capacity: 2-1/2 and 5 tons at 175
•
p.s.i. and 10 tons at 200 p.s.i.
The load must be centered on the two lift saddles of the jack so
•
an equal amount of load is applied to each saddle. Lift saddles
are connected to the jack’s telescopic extendable arms and
can be extended if necessary. Remember to extend the arms
equally so the weight can be distributed equally to both lift
saddles.
These jacks were designed for lifting purposes only. Do not
•
attempt to work on the vehicle until two jack stands rated equal
to or greater than the rated capacity of the jack are positioned
to support the load.
During lifting, inspect the position of the jack and its saddles 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.
IMPORTANT:
A sudden loss of load will cause the main lift cylinder
and saddles to rise with sufficient force to cause severe
personal injury and/or property damage. Make sure setup
is stable.
Always lower load slowly.

SETUP
Refer to the exploded view parts drawing for identification,
1.
location and position of parts.
Install the quick disconnect of your choice in the air valve.
2.
Connect the shop air line to the quick disconnect.
These jacks are equipped with extendable arms that are
3.
secured to the jack by a bolt and nut provided. Sometimes a lower
starting lift height is required. The jacks are shipped with the saddle
risers on the arms at the highest position but can be turned upside
down by removing the saddles and the bolt and nut that secure the
arms to the jack. Remove the extendable arms, rotate them upside
down, insert them back in the jack, secure them with the bolt and
nut provided and put the saddles in the risers. Your saddles are
now located in the lowest lift position.
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.
