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 qualied 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
WARNING
• Before lifting a vehicle, 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.
• Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if it is
damaged, altered, modied, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic
uid, or unstable due to loose hardware. Take corrective action
before using the jack.
• This jack was designed for lifting purposes only. Do not attempt to
work on the vehicle until jack stands rated equal to or greater than
the rated capacity of the jack are positioned to support the load.
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 uent 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 oor service jack is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
For details see the back cover of Norco’s product catalog.
• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.
• Do not use the jack beyond its rated capacity. Lift only dead
weight.
• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable. Off-center
loads can cause jack failure and/or loss of load.
• Use the jack on a hard level surface. The jack must be free to
roll and reposition itself while lifting or lowering the vehicle.
• Do not modify the jack or use saddle adapters or saddle
extenders unless approved or supplied by Norco.
• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.
SETUP
1. Remove the handle receiver bolt and washer from the handle
base receiver.
2. The “T” handle is equipped with a cast lever and a round bar
shaped lever. Make sure the round bar shaped lever is located in
the higher position of the milled out guide in the tubular handle
before installing the “T” handle in the handle base receiver.
3. The cast lever on the “T” handle activates a linkage bar. The
linkage bar is bent in an “L” shape at the bottom and must t
inside the hole in the cadmium plated engagement pawl. It will be
necessary to move the cast lever and engagement pawl up and
down while simultaneously rotating the “T” handle in towards the
pawl. Once the linkage rod is engaged with the pawl, align the
small hole in the bottom of the “T” handle with the threaded hole
in the handle base receiver and secure them together with the bolt
and washer provided.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Become familiar with the levers on the “T” handle. The round
bar shaped lever is spring loaded and follows a milled out guide
in the tubular handle. The lever should be in the higher position of
the milled out guide in order to activate the “quick rise” cast lever
and pump the “T” handle.
2. The “quick rise” lever may be pulled in order to activate the
“quick rise” feature of the FASTJACK. Pulling the cast lever rotates
the cadmium plated engagement pawl so it can come in contact
with the rst available lifting tooth. Once the pawl is in position,
pulling down on the “T” handle engages the pawl with the lifting
tooth. Once the tooth is engaged continue to push down on the
handle and you will see the lift saddle raise. Raise the lift saddle
slowly while simultaneously aligning the saddle with the frame
or component to be lifted. Make sure the frame or component is
centered on the lift saddle and not the peripheral edge of the saddle.
If the frame or component is not centered on the saddle, lower the
saddle, reposition the jack and try again. Once the saddle is in
contact with the load, release the cast lever and proceed pumping
the “T” handle until the load is lifted to the desired work height.
3. Lowering the load can only be accomplished by positioning the
“T” handle over one of the three holes in the handle base bracket,
disengaging the round bar shaped lever from its high position and
allowing it to drop to the low position, and rotating the lever to the
right. The load cannot be released unless the lever is rotated to
the right.
4. 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.
5. Pump the “T” handle or use the “quick rise” feature to get the lift
saddle close to the load. Now raise the lift saddle slowly, making
sure the saddle comes in contact with the load, the load is centered
on the saddle and the majority of the load is not supported by the
peripheral edge of the lifting saddle at any single point.
6. 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
should not be hindered by wheel obstructions.
7. Proceed with pumping the “T” handle so the load is lifted to
the required work height. The “quick rise” feature is designed to
eliminate all the incremental pumps required to bring the lifting
saddle in contact with the load. The “quick rise” feature was
not designed to lift the load. Lifting the load is accomplished by
pumping the “T” handle.
8. After lifting the load, always use approved 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.
Although support 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.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
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 rell or top off the reservoir with
hydraulic uid unless there is an external leak. An external leak
requires immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-
free environment by qualied 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 uid, 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 not
readable.
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 uid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing
hardware or components, or is modied in any way. Take corrective
action before using the jack again.
6. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you
are a qualied hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this
equipment.
