Hazard Identification--Explanation of SIGNAL WORDS
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to indicate the likelihood of personal injuries, as well as the probable
seriousness of those injuries, if the product is misused in the ways described. Other signal words call attention
to uses of the product likely cause property damage.
The signal words used appear below along with the meaning of each word:
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or
MODERATE injury.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might
damage the product.
Each person who assembles, installs, uses, or maintains this product should read the entire manual in
advance and fully understand the directions. If after reading the manual you do not understand an
instruction, ask your supervisor or employer for clarification, because failure to adhere to the directions
in this manual might result in serious personal injury.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Vestil diligently strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no
manual can address every conceivable risk. The end-user ultimately is responsible for exercising sound
judgment at all times.
If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the operator and/or bystanders might sustain
serious personal injuries or even be killed. ALWAYS use the product properly:
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, installing, using or servicing the
product constitutes misuse. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance
procedures.
DO NOT exceed the maximum rated load.
Inspect the dolly before each use. Remove the dolly from service if the inspection reveals damage such as: 1)
cracked welds; 2) corrosion, extreme wear, or other condition that affects the ability of the product to support
applied weight; 3) significantly worn or cracked casters; 4) missing chains (1 chain for each of the semicircular
brackets). DO NOT use the product until it is restored to normal condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved
replacement parts.
DO NOT use the dolly to transport any cylinder that does not seat securely in the semicircular brackets.
DO NOT transport a cylinder without using the bracket chains. Each time the dolly is used to transport a
cylinder, wrap the chains without slack around the cylinder. Secure the chains in the latch slots on the opposite
side of the brackets.
When transporting a cylinder up-or-downhill, always remain uphill to the cylinder.
DO NOT remove or obscure any label. All product labels must be readable and undamaged.
DO NOT modify the dolly in any way. Unauthorized modifications automatically void the limited warranty
(see p. 7) and might make the dolly unsafe to use.
