personal injuries or death.
• Read this instruction manual in its entirety before assembling the crane.
• DO NOT modify the crane in any way without first receiving written approval from Vestil.

DO NOT
use the crane if you notice damage to, or deformation of, the beam, uprights, or either of the leg
assemblies. Using a crane with damaged components could result in crane collapse.
• DO NOT use the crane if any of the hardware (bolts, nuts, clamps, etc.) is damaged. Contact TECHNICAL
