Each person who assembles, installs, uses, or maintains this product should read the entire manual in advance

and fully understand the directions. If after reading the manual you do not understand an instruction, ask
your supervisor or employer for clarification, because failure to adhere to the directions in this manual
might result in serious personal injury.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

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.

situations.

SERIOUS INJURY.

MODERATE injury.

might damage the product.

Electrocution might result if any part of the lift table or work piece placed on the table contacts electrified

wires. Reduce the likelihood of electrocution by applying common sense:

 DO NOT contact ele ctrified wires with any part of the table or the load/work piece on it;
 Install the table in a location where contact with electrified wires will not occur.

If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the operator and/or bystanders might sustain serious

personal injuries or even be killed. ALWAYS use the product properly:

 Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, installing, using or servicing the
product constitutes misuse. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance

procedures.

 DO NOT exceed the maximum rated load.
 Inspect the lift table before each use. DO NOT use this device if the inspection reveals structural damage. Examples

of structural damage include: 1) broken, missing, or deformed legs; 2) damaged, deformed or ruptured air bladder; 3)
cracked welds; 4) enlarged openings for fasteners at pivot points; 5) corrosion, severe wear, or other condition that
affects the ability of the product to support applied weight or itself; 6) damaged, deformed or cracked roller channels.
Immediately lock out a tag out the lift table and replace each part that fails to pass an inspection. DO NOT use the
product until it is fully restored to normal condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
 DO NOT use the product if any unusual noise or movement is observed. If a malfunction occurs, remove the unit
from service and notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel about the issue.

 DO NOT bypass or attempt to bypass the safety lock system.
 DO NOT tamper with the pressure relief valve system.
 DO NOT use the lift table UNLESS it is securely anchored to the ground.
 ALWAYS evenly distribute and center the load on the table.
 DO NOT remove or obscure any label. All product labels must be readable and undamaged.
 DO NOT use the table to lift or support people.
 DO NOT modify the table in any way UNLESS you first obtain written approval from Vestil. Unauthorized

modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p. 5) and might make the table unsafe to use.

 DO NOT use the table UNLESS all product labels are readable and undamaged.

Proper use, maintenance, and storage are essential for this product to function properly.
o Always use this product in accordance with the instructions in this manual and consistent with any training relevant
to scissor lift tables.
o Keep the lift table clean & dry.
