HAZARDS
Vestil Manufacturing diligently strives to identify all foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products.
However, material handling is inherently dangerous and no manual can address every risk. The end user is ultimately
responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times in the use of this product.
Improper or careless operation of this device might result in serious or fatal personal injuries to the
operator and bystanders. ALWAYS use this product properly.
Read and understand this entire manual before installing, using, or servicing this crate dumper. Keep this
manual in a location known to persons who use the device. Read the manual whenever necessary to refresh
your understanding of proper use, inspection, and maintenance procedures. Failure to read and understand
this owner’s manual before using or servicing the crate dumper constitutes a misuse of the product.
ALWAYS follow applicable operating safety rules and practices described in the current revision of ANSI/ITSDF
B56.1, “Safety Standard for High Lift and Low Lift Trucks” (the “Standard”) as well as all Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations that govern use of front end attachments in the jurisdiction(s) where
the crate dumper is used. The Standard may be downloaded at no cost from the ITSDF website (www.ITSDF.org).

THE TRUCK AND CRATE DUMPER COMBINATION MIGHT BE LESS THAN THE CAPACITY SHOWN ON THE CRATE
