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 following are signal words used in
this manual and their definitions.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify all hazards associated with the use of our products. However, material
handling is dangerous and no manual can address every risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is
for the end-user to exercise sound judgment whenever using this product.
Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries or death.
• Read the entire manual before assembling, using, or servicing the cart. A copy of this manual must be
available at all times to persons who assemble, use, or service the cart. Read the manual whenever
necessary to refresh your understanding of use and maintenance procedures.
• This product presents pinch point and hydraulic pressure hazards to the user and bystanders. ALWAYS
follow the instructions provided in this manual to avoid injury.
• DO NOT operate a lift table with its perimeter toe guard removed, disabled, or inoperable.
• DO NOT attempt to lift a load that weighs more than the capacity of your cart. The cart is labeled
with its capacity. See Label 1153 as shown in LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 25. Also see SPECIFICATIONS
on p. 19. Handle only stable and safely arranged loads within the capacity of the cart.
• DO NOT allow people to stand or sit on either the cart or the load. DO NOT transport people.
• Stand clear of the cart while raising or lowering the tabletop. Particularly avoid pivot/pinch points
while the tabletop rises and lowers.
• DO NOT attempt to lift an overhanging or cantilevered load.
• DO NOT reach through the legs or crawl under the tabletop unless maintenance props are deployed.
• DO NOT use the cart in corrosive environments.
• ONLY use the cart on compacted, improved surfaces capable of supporting the combined weight of
the cart plus a maximum rated load. ONLY use on even, level surfaces.
• DO NOT perform maintenance on this cart or its power unit UNLESS the cart is unloaded and
maintenance props are in place. If repairs are necessary, ONLY install manufacturer-approved
replacement parts.
• Center and evenly distribute loads on the tabletop. Strap loads to the tabletop when necessary to
prevent rolling or sliding.
• Inspect the unit according to the INSPECTIONS instructions on p. 21, 22, & 23. DO NOT use the cart
unless it is in SATISFACTORY CONDITION. See RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION, p. 20.
• ALWAYS observe the cart while raising and lowering the tabletop. It should rise smoothly and evenly
from side-to-side. Watch for binding or jerky movement and listen for unusual noises. Tag the unit "Out
of order" and remove it from service if you notice damage or observe (see or hear) anything about
the cart that is abnormal.
• Always watch the load carefully while raising and lowering the tabletop.
• DO NOT continue to press the UP button if the tabletop is fully elevated.
• Before leaving the cart unattended, unload it and relieve hydraulic pressure by pressing the DOWN
button and holding it until the tabletop is completely lowered.
• DO NOT use the cart UNLESS all labels are in place & easily readable. See LABELING DIAGRAM, p. 25.
• DO NOT modify this product in any way. Modifications automatically void the limited warranty and
might make the cart unsafe to use.
