might damage the product.
Vestil strives to identify all foreseeable hazards of using 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.
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, installing, using or servicing the product is a misuse of the product. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and
maintenance procedures.
DO NOT exceed the capacity of your unit (see Label 287 on product; also shown in “Labeling diagram” on p. 7). 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. Always connect the safety chain to the carriage of your forklift without slack. The unit must not be able to slide on the forks. 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. DO NOT leave elevated rolls of carpet unattended. Always lower the load before leaving the forklift. Carpet roll must not be longer than the pole. The carpet roll must not hang over the end of the pole. See “Using
the carpet ram” on p. 6 for loading instructions. 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.
