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 foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no
manual can address every conceivable risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is to exercise sound
judgment when assembling, using, inspecting, and maintaining this crane.
WARNING
Risks of serious personal injuries or death.
• Read this manual in its entirety before assembling, using, inspecting or servicing the product . Read the
manual to refresh your understanding of use, inspection, and maintenance procedures as necessary. A
copy of this manual should always be available to all persons who assemble, use, inspect and/or
maintain this device.
•
Review the safety messages included on labeling, and in the manuals, of devices used with this bulk
bag rack: bulk bag and forklift.
•
Inspect & maintain the rack as instructed in the INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE section on p. 6. Do not
use the rack unless it is in SATISFACTORY CONDITION . See RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION , p. 4 .
•
DO NOT remove or obscure any label. Before using the rack, confirm that all labels are in place and
easily readable from a reasonable distance. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 7.
• DO NOT allow people to ride in the bulk bag or on the rack.
•
DO NOT lift more than the capacity/rated load of this rack or the bulk bag, whichever is smaller. The
capacity of the rack is 1,000 pounds (454.5 kg). The capacity of Vestil’s FAB-H bulk bag is 3,300 pounds
(1500kg). If this rack is used to hold and move an FAB-H bag, the bag and its contents must not weight
more than 1,000 pounds.
• Before mounting a bulk bag on the rack, inspect the bulk bag handles and the bag. Confirm that all
parts are in good condition. DO NOT use the lifter to support or transport a bag UNLESS the handles and
bag are undamaged.
• DO NOT lift or travel with a load elevated more than necessary to avoid contact with the ground. Bag
contents might shift during transport so travel slowly. Avoid sudden stops to minimize load swing. Turn
slowly and carefully. Make sure that the travel path is clear of persons and obstacles before transporting
a bulk bag with this rack.
•
Use this product consistently with both the relevant portions of the current revision of ANSI/ITSDF B56.1
and your lift truck operator training.
•
DO NOT pull or drag the rack. ONLY use the rack to load and transport bulk bags.
• DO NOT leave an elevated load/rack unattended. Always land the rack before leaving it.
•
DO NOT modify the rack in any way. Modifications automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY (on p. 8)
and might make the rack unsafe to use.
