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.

This product is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. For details
