BEFORE USING THIS JACK, 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 transmission jack is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
For details see the back cover of Norco's product catalog.

• Support the engine with a stand before unbolting the
transmission from the engine.
• Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if it is
damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic
fluid or unstable due to loose or missing hardware. Take
corrective action before using the jack.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity. Do not lift or support
the vehicle with this jack.
• Use only on a hard level surface.
• Be sure setup is stable and secure. Use this jack only with
adapters and load restraints provided by Norco. Use of this jack
is limited to the removal installation and transportation (in the
lowered position) of transmissions and transfer cases. Center
load on saddle. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the
transmission's center of balance. Off-center loads can cause jack
failure and/or loss of load.
• No alterations shall be made to this jack and use only with
factory approved adapters.
SETUP
1. Refer to the exploded view parts drawing for identification,
location and position of parts.
2. Install the swivel caster wheels on the jack legs with the
washers and nuts provided.
3. Find a hard floor that is flat. Install the legs on the jack's base
with the alien socket cap screws and washers provided. Do not
tighten the alien socket cap screws until all four caster wheels are
touching the floor and the jack appears vertical.
4. Assemble the two collar braces around the top of the jack's
reservoir with the bolts, washers and nuts provided. Do not
tighten.
5. Assemble the round leg brace tubes in between the ears on
top of each caster mounting bracket with the bolts, washers and
nuts provided. Do not tighten. The opposite ends of the round leg
brace tubes should be assembled between the ears on the two
collar braces with the bolts, washers and nuts provided. Align the
ears on the collar braces with the ears on top of the caster
mounting brackets and tighten all bolts and nuts.
6. Insert the mounting stem of the complete saddle assembly
into the top of the ram and align the hole in the stem with the
holes in the ram. Secure the stem to the ram with the bolt and
locknut provided.
7. The chain and hook are provided in order to secure the
transmission to the saddle assembly. The end of the chain
should be anchored to the side of the saddle. The restraint
system (chain and hook assembly) may be adjusted according to
the specific transmission configuration.
8. The jack is equipped with two reservoir fill plugs. Replace the
shipping fill plug with the vented fill plug before operating the
jack.
9. Sometimes air gets trapped in the jack during shipment. An air
bound hydraulic system feels spongy when pumped and
sometimes the jack will not pump full incremental strokes.
PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
a. Open the release valve by depressing the "down" foot
pedal. With the 'down" foot pedal depressed,
simultaneously activate the larger pump pedal about 15
times. It may be necessary to have one person depress
the "down" pedal while another person activates the
larger pump pedal.
b. Aller pumping, remove your foot from the "down" foot
pedal and pump the larger pump pedal until the jack is
raised to maximum extension.
c. If the condition seems better, repeat steps :a" and "b"
until air is purged from the system.
