Safe Use Recommendations:
Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, material handling is
dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. The most effective way to avoid end-user ultimately is
responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
Improper or careless use of this product might result in death or serious personal injury.
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the product
constitutes misuse.
Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance procedures whenever necessary.
DO NOT attempt to resolve any issue with the product unless you are both qualified to do so and certain that it will
be safe to use afterwards. Improperly maintained jacks might become unsafe to use.
DO NOT perform maintenance on a loaded jack. Remove the jack from use before
DO NOT modify the product in any way. Unauthorized modifications automatically void the Limited Warranty (see p.
7) and might make the jack unsafe to use.
DO NOT exceed the capacity of your jack. Capacity information appears in the “Specifications” section on page 3 of
this manual as well as on label 287 (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 6).
Inspect the product before each use. Check the jack for damaged frame members and welds, corrosion, or severe
wear. Remove the product from service if damage is discovered. DO NOT use the product until it is fully restored to
normal condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts. If the jack cannot be restored to normal
condition, permanently remove it from service, i.e. DO NOT use a damaged jack.
Before installing a jack beneath a semitrailer confirm that: 1) The trailer is parked on an even, level concrete surface
to prevent the landing gear and jack(s) from sinking into the ground; 2) The trailer is entirely supported by its landing
gear; 3) The wheels of the trailer are immobilized to resist creep or roll; 4) The underside of the trailer is structurally
sound, especially where it will contact the jack; and 5) The net weight of the trailer and load is within the load ratings of
your jack.
ONLY use the jack on compacted surfaces (concrete or asphalt) that are level and even. The jack cannot stabilize
trailers parked on uneven or sloped ground.
ONLY use this jack to stabilize the front end of a fully supported trailer. DO NOT use this jack to support trailers! The
trailer must be completely supported by its landing gear.
DO NOT use this device UNLESS all labels are in place, readable, and undamaged. (See “Labeling Diagram” on. p.
6).
