LOADING THE CART
This cart is designed to carry sheet material. Set a sheet of material on the deck with the longer
dimension of the sheet resting on the deck. Carefully lay the sheet against the handles. Center the
material on the deck. If necessary, adjust the location of the material so that it balances. Evenly
distribute the load over the deck. Only traverse even, level ground with the cart while it is loaded. Push
the cart to move it. Do not pull the cart.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
Once the cart is completely assembled, and before using it for the first time, make a record of its
condition. Thoroughly photograph the unit. Include close-range photographs of each label applied to the
unit, all fastener attachment points (hardware fastening each handle to the deck, the storage tray to the
handles, and the guard panel to the deck), the casters and bulldog caster receivers. Collect all
photographs and writings in a single file. This file is a record of the unit in satisfactory condition.
INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
Compare the results of each inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION to
determine whether the unit is in satisfactory condition. DO NOT use the cart unless it is in satisfactory
condition. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts to restore the unit to satisfactory
condition.
DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your unit, contact the
TECHNICAL SERVICE
department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual.
Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts . Purely cosmetic changes, such as
chipped paint, are not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied
to all areas where the finish is damaged as soon as the damage occurs because exposed metal rusts.
Left unaddressed, rusting could compromise the soundness of the metal and create a safety hazard.
At least once per month:
1. Inspect all fasteners and the caster fasteners (clevis pins and cotter pins). Confirm that all hardware
is in satisfactory condition. Tighten loose connections. Replace loose lock nuts and fasteners that
are broken, rusted, or severely worn.
2. Inspect all 4 casters and the bulldog caster receivers. Replace a caster if its wheel is significantly
worn, e.g. does not roll smoothly. Lubricate wheel pivot points as necessary to allow for quiet,
uniform rotation. Inspect each caster fork, bearing, axle, wheel hub, and mounting plate for damage.
3. Examine the deck and both handles for significant wear, bends, punctures, cracked welds, and other
forms of damage. The deck must be rigid and square. Handles must not wobble or lean. If a handle
is damaged, contact the factory to order a replacement. If the deck is damaged, it must be replaced.
LABELING DIAGRAM
Label content and locations are subject to change so your product might not be labeled exactly as
shown. Compare this diagram to the RECORD. If differences exist between the diagram and the
RECORD, contact TECHNICAL SERVICE. Replace all labels that are damaged, missing, or not easily
readable (e.g. faded). To order replacement labels, contact the technical service and parts department
online at http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_info.htm . Alternatively, you may request replacement parts
and/or service by calling (260) 665-7586 and asking the operator to connect you to the Parts
Department.
