SAFETY GUIDELINES

Vestil diligently strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no
manual can address every conceivable risk. The end-user ultimately is responsible for exercising sound
judgment at all times.

Failure to read and understand the entire manual before using or servicing the product

constitutes misuse. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance

procedures. If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the operator and/or bystanders might sustain
serious personal injuries:

 DO NOT exceed the maximum rated load.
 Inspect the lifter before each use. Remove it from service if the inspection reveals damage such as: 1)

cracked welds; 2) corrosion, extreme wear, or other condition that affects the ability of the product to support
weight; 3) significantly worn or damaged wheels/casters; 4) missing or damaged ratchet straps. DO NOT use
the product until it is restored to normal condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.

 DO NOT use the lifter to transport any cylinder that does not seat securely in the brackets.
 DO NOT transport a cylinder unless it is securely held by the ratchet strap. The cylinder should not be able to

slide through the strap.

 ONLY raise the cylinder a few inches from the floor when transporting it. When transporting a cylinder up-or-

downhill, always remain uphill to the lifter. DO NOT move the lifter up or downhill unless you can easily control
the lifter. Although the CYL-HLT is equipped with 2 locking casters, these locks will NOT hold the lifter in place
on an incline and will not stop the lifter as it rolls downhill.

 DO NOT leave a raised cylinder unattended. ALWAYS lower the cylinder completely.
 DO NOT store cylinders on the lifter.
 DO NOT remove or obscure any label. All product labels must be readable and undamaged. (See p. 7).
 DO NOT modify the lifter in any way. Unauthorized modifications automatically void the limited warranty

(see p. 6) and might make the lifter unsafe to use.
