Hazards of Improper Use:
Vestil diligently strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However,
material handling is inherently dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. The end-
user ultimately is responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
If this product is used improperly or carelessly, serious personal injuries or death might result.
Read and understand the entire manual before assembling, installing, using or servicing this gate system.
Keep the bottom gate down at all times except when placing or removing materials inside the gate.

to pass an inspection. DO NOT use the product until it is fully restored to normal condition. If the gate cannot
be restored to normal condition, permanently remove it from service.
