Vestil Manufacturing Corp. created this manual to acquaint owners and end-users of our dollies with recommended
use and maintenance procedures.
Users should have access to the manual at all times
and should review the
directions when necessary. Although Vestil diligently strives to identify foreseeable, hazardous situations, this manual
cannot address every conceivable danger. The end-user is ultimately responsible for exercising sound judgment at all
times.
