might damage the product.
Hazards of Improper Use:
Vestil strives to identify all foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, material
handling is dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. Ultimately, the most effective way to
prevent injury is to apply sound judgment whenever using this device.
Improper or careless use could result in serious personal injuries or death.
Before using this (forklift) front end attachment, you must contact the manufacturers of all forklifts that will use it to
request: 1) written approval; and 2) markings for each forklift that identify the coil carrier AND give the approximate
weight of the forklift and carrier at maximum elevation with a laterally-centered load. DO NOT use the carpet ram
until your forklifts are marked.
Read and understand the entire manual before installing, using, or servicing the product. Read the manual to
refresh your understanding of proper use, inspection, and maintenance procedures whenever necessary.
DO NOT exceed the capacity of your unit (see Label 287 on product and shown in “Labeling diagram” on p. 7).
DO NOT exceed the maximum rated load (see Label 287 on product; also shown on p. 7).
Inspect the carpet pole before each use.
Before attaching the carpet ram to the carriage of your fork lift, inspect the carriage and confirm that all parts are
structurally sound and in nominal condition.
Always test the soundness of the connection between the carriage weldment of the carpet ram and the carriage of
the fork truck before loading the carpet pole. Lift the roll just a few inches above the ground. Load swing should be
minimal and the carpet pole should not shift. If the load is unstable, return it to the ground and use another piece of
equipment to transport the carpet.
Inspect the carpet pole before each use as described in “Inspections” on p. 6.
Before attaching the carpet ram to the carriage of your fork lift, inspect the carriage and confirm that all parts are
structurally sound and in nominal condition.
Verify that the load is stable by lifting the carpet just a few inches above the ground. Load swing should be
minimal and the carpet pole should not shift on the forks. If the load is not stable while elevated, return it to the
ground and use another device to transport it.
ALWAYS apply the rules governing use of (forklift) front end attachments applied at your work site.
DO NOT cover or remove any label. Verify the location and legibility of all labels as shown in the “Labeling
Diagram” on p. 7. DO NOT use this device UNLESS all product labels are readable and undamaged.
DO NOT ride or sit on the carpet pole.
DO NOT use the carpet pole to push objects. Only use the product to transport a roll of carpet.
ONLY use this product when traveling on firm, level, even ground.
Carpet roll must not be longer than the pole, i.e. the carpet roll must not hang over the end of the pole. See “Using
the carpet ram” on p. 5 for loading instructions.
DO NOT leave elevated rolls of carpet unattended. Always lower the load to the ground before leaving the forklift.
DO NOT modify the carpet pole in any way UNLESS you first obtain written approval from Vestil. Unapproved
modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p. 8) and might make the product unsafe to use.
