SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify the foreseeable hazards of using its products. However, material handling is inherently
dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. Ultimately, the most effective way to avoid causing
injuries is for the operator to exercise sound judgment whenever this device is used.
Improper use could result in serious personal injuries.
• Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the pry bar is a misuse of
the product. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance procedures.
• DO NOT exceed the capacity . See Label 287 on product and in LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 2.
• Only use the pry bar on improved surfaces (concrete or asphalt).
• DO NOT apply more than 150 lb. downward force on the end of the pry bar handle.

• ALWAYS carefully watch the load on the pry bar.
• Inspect the pry bar before each use as instructed in INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE on p. 3. DO NOT use the
