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 device.
WARNING
Risks of serious personal injuries or death.

4. NEVER tilt the lifter while carrying a load. All wheels and casters must maintain contact with the
ground when a load is on the platform.
