Safe Use Recommendations:

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

This product must be properly maintained to function properly.

 Routinely examine the device and confirm that the indicator arm rotates freely. Lubricate the rivet whenever

necessary to restore free rotation.

 Check the connection to the fork truck mast. The device should be solidly mounted to the mast. Replace the hoof-

and-loop strips if they are damaged.

 Periodically check the accuracy of the indicator by performing step 1 on p. 3; then confirm that the fork angle

indicator aligns with the mast angle indicator. If necessary, pull the device off of the fork mast, adjust its position, and
reattach it to the fastener strips on the mast.
