SAFETY PRINCIPLES

Each unit conforms to the generalized specifications disclosed in this manual and fulfills our demanding

standards for quality, durability and safety.

Vestil Manufacturing Corp. recognizes the critical importance of workplace safety. Each person who might

participate in the installation, use, operation, or maintenance of the product must read this manual. Read the

entire manual and fully understand the directions BEFORE using or maintaining the bollard. If you do not
understand an instruction, contact Vestil for clarification.

Vestil is not liable for any injury or property damage that occurs as a consequence of failing to apply the
procedures explained in this manual or that appear on labels affixed to the product. Failure to exercise good
judgment and common sense may result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death, and also are not
the responsibility of Vestil. Although Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazardous situations, this manual
cannot address every conceivable danger. The end-user is ultimately responsible for exerci sing sound judgment.

This manual applies the hazard identification methods suggested for instruction manuals by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) in ANSI standard Z535.6-2006. In accordance with ANSI guidelines for
hazard warning language, this manual identifies personal injury risks and situations that could lead to property
damage with SIGNAL WORDS. These signal words announce an associated safety message. The reader must
understand that the signal word chosen to identify a particular safety hazard categorizes the seriousness of that
hazard according to the following convention:

Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH

or SERIOUS INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.

Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH

or SERIOUS INJURY.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR
or MODERATE injury. Although Z535.6-2006 approves the use of “CAUTION” without an
accompanying safety alert symbol (black equilateral triangle with yellow exclamation point) as an
alternative to “NOTICE”, this manual differentiates between hazards that pose a risk of personal injury
and those that create mere property damage situations. In this manual, “CAUTION” appears

exclusively in conjunction with the safety alert symbol to identify injury risks.

Identifies practices not related to personal injury, such as operation that could
damage the bollard. No safety alert symbol (equilateral triangle enclosing an exclamation point)
accompanies this signal word.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Failure to read and understand the instructions included in this manual before installing, deploying or
storing, or servicing the bollard constitutes misuse of the product. Study the entire manual before you use

the cart for the first time and before each subsequent use. If questions remain after you finish reading the
manual, contact Vestil for answers. DO NOT attempt to resolve any problems with the bollard unless you are

that it will be safe to use afterwards.

certain

DO NOT contact live electrical wires, buried cables, or underground gas lines during

installation. Determine the locations of all underground utility lines BEFORE beginning to dig the hole for
the bollard. Choose a location that is at least 3 feet away from all underground lines on all sides.

• DO NOT attempt to install the bollard if you cannot comfortably lift it. Determine the net weight of the bollard
from the table on p. 3.

• DO NOT modify the bollard or storage tube (BOL-SSTOR-42-5.5) without the express, written approval
of Vestil. Unauthorized modifications could render the device unsafe to use. Additionally,
unauthorized modification(s) automatically voids the warranty.

Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator!
