Hazards:
We strive to identify all hazards that could occur while using our products, but no manual can address
every risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is to exercise sound judgment whenever using this device
and to read the entire manual carefully before installing, using, or servicing the product. Vestil recommends
that you contact its Technical Service Department (the “TSD”) if you have any questions about instructions in
the manual. We intend to provide our customers with the best instructions possible and encourage you to
contact the TSD if you believe that a necessary instruction is missing or incomplete.
Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries.
• ONLY use fork extensions as a means for supporting palletized loads or skids.
• Inspect both extensions before each use according to the Inspection instructions on pages 4-5. DO NOT
use a damaged fork extension. Examples of structural damage include: a) broken tine lock, retaining loop, or
welds connecting the loop/lock to the main body of the extension (fork pocket); b) cracked, warped, bent or
excessively corroded fork pockets; and c) cracks, warps, bends or excessive corrosion of the cast toe piece
welded to the end of each fork pocket.
• DO NOT sit on or ride on the extensions.
• DO NOT use a fork extension UNLESS each label shown in Labeling Diagram on p. 5 is applied to the
extension and is undamaged and readable.
• DO NOT attempt to lift loads that exceed the capacity of your extensions or the load rating of the fork truck,
whichever is smaller.
• DO NOT attempt to lift a load using only the toe of a fork extension. Permanent damage to the fork
extension, damage to property, or serious personal injury could result.
• DO NOT modify either fork extension in any way. Unauthorized modifications might make the extension
unsafe to use and could result in operator and/or bystander injury. Any modification not expressly approved
beforehand by Vestil in writing automatically voids the warranty.
