CAUSE ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS OR FATAL
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The use of air/hydraulic foot pumps 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
qualied in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use.
Hazards such as pressurized hydraulic uid bursting from hoses or
ttings can happen resulting in loss of load, uncontrolled lowering
or dropping of load if instructions are not followed. Failure to avoid
hazardscouldcauseaccidents resulting in serious orfatalpersonal
injury and/or property damage.
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 these instructions intact and in a
convenient location for all to see and read. If these instructions
are lost or not legible, contact Norco 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 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
Do not use hoses in systems exceeding 10,000 psi (700 bar).•
The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure• rating of the lowest rated component in the system.
Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses.•
Do not drop heavy objects on hose.•
Do not use the hydraulic hose to carry a hydraulic component.•
Keep hydraulic equipment away from ames and heat.•
Keep hose away from sharp objects and eliminate abrasion.•
Inspect the system before each use. Replace questionable• components immediately.
Use only compatible uids.•
Make sure quick disconnect ttings are correctly and • completely fastened together. Quick disconnect couplers
should be hand tightened only. Never use tools.
Never attempt to disconnect couplers while under system• pressure.
Be sure pressure system and setup are stable before using.•
BEFORE OPERATING
Remove the large allen socket pipe plug in the end of the black1.
elbow tting that is installed in the side of the foot pump manifold.
Remove any remnants of teon tape that may still be in the threads
of the elbow tting.
Determine if your system will require a poppit valve to restrict2.
the return ow of oil back to the pump’s reservoir. Consult
the “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” portion of this manual to
determine if your system requires a poppit valve. If your system
does require a poppit valve, install the tapered end of the poppit
valve into the threaded hole at the end of the elbow tting. Make
sure the poppit valve is inserted all the way until it bottoms out on
the seat at the bottom of the threaded hole.
Make sure the hose tting threads are not crossthreaded. 3.
Use at least 1-1/2 wraps of teon tape (or suitable sealant) on
the threads. Make sure the rst complete thread is free from tape
or sealant so they do not enter and contaminate the hydraulic
system.
If tubing is used instead of hose, make sure the tubing is4.
supported. Unsupported tubing can lead to premature tting
failure. Always hard mount valves and gages and never allow
tubing to support them. Place tube supports 4 to 7 inches behind
the tting.
The air quick disconnect conguration of your choice can be 5.
installed in the threaded hole underneath the foot pedal labeled
“PUMP”. Prepare the threaded hole in the pump and air quick
disconnect threads in the same manner as described in steps 1
and 3 of this section titled “BEFORE OPERATING”.
The top forward section of the pump includes an air vent stem6.
which must be grabbed with thumb and forenger and lifted up
to the air vent position. The pump will not work to its maximum
efciency unless this air vent is opened. Close the air vent when
not using or transporting the pump.
An in-line lter/regulator/lubricator should be installed close to 7.
pump. Add a few drops of SAE 30 oil to the air intake weekly if no
lubricator is used or when pump will be idle for a long time.
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Determine the layout of your hydraulic system based on the1.
work to be performed. If the pump is used with a ram in collision
repair work or in a press as a power source, there will most likely
not be a need to consider installing either of the two poppit valves
included with the pump. If the pump is used with a ram that
activatesashopcraneboomoranyothermechanicalleveragethat
would increase the rate of decent of such leverage when the pump
pedal is released, a poppit valve should be installed in the pump
in accordance with the instructions given in step 2 of the “BEFORE
OPERATING” section of this manual. The two poppit valves look the
same but the small orice at the tapered end of the valves are two
different sizes. Obviously the poppit valve with the smallest orice
restricts the return of hydraulic uid back to the pump’s reservoir
more. If you cannot determine which poppit valve to use, install the
valve with the smallest orice rst. If the smallest orice restricts
the return of uid too much, use the valve with the larger orice.
IMPORTANT: Before using the pump under load, become familiar
with the operation of the foot pump. Depressing the foot pedal
end marked “PUMP” activates the ram. To activate the ram a
small distance it is necessary to use incremental taps of your
foot on the foot pedal until the ram reaches the desired distance.
Retracting the ram is accomplished by depressing the foot pedal
end marked “RELEASE”. The pump is equipped with a two speed
release mechanism. Gently depressing the foot pedal end marked
“RELEASE” retracts the ram slower than if you depress the pedal
all the way down. If you want to retract the ram slower than the
low speed release, use gentle incremental taps of your foot on the
“RELEASE” pedal.
Be sure hoses do not have cracks, kinks, cuts or other damage2.
which might cause the hoses to leak. If hoses include spring
guards, make sure the springs protect the crimped areas of each
end of the hose.
Hose should not be twisted or bent too sharply. The bend3.
radius should not be less than nine times the outside diameter of
the hose. Always use as few bends as possible.
Make sure all hose ends, couplers, or union ends are clean and4.
threads are in good condition.
Make sure all hose connections between pump and rams are5.
tight and leak free. Do not over-tighten connections. Excessive
tightening may cause premature thread or tting failure.
When using quick disconnect ttings, make sure ttings are 6.
correctly and completely fastened together.

return freight is the customer’s responsibility.
Keep components clean at all times. Use every precaution to1.
guard against dirt entering the system.
Cover couplers with dust caps when not connected to the system. 2.
All coupler threads must be clean and lubricated regularly.
Change uid in system components as recommended by the 3.
