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.
Electrocution might result if any part of the mezzanine ladder contacts electrified wires. Reduce the
likelihood of electrocution by applying common sense:

Do NOT assemble or use the cart in an area where it might contact electrified wires;
 Do NOT contact electrified wires with the cart;
 Before using the crane, always inspect the usage area for conditions that might require special precautions.
If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the operator and/or bystanders might sustain serious
personal injuries or even be killed. ALWAYS use the product properly: Material handling is inherently dangerous.
Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries sustained by user(s) and/or bystanders.
Always apply the following recommendations:
 DO NOT attempt to service a loaded cart. Unload the cart and use the maintenance prop BEFORE working on the
cart. DO NOT work on the cart unless the maintenance prop is in place.
 Keep clear of pinch points! As the deck rises and lowers, pinch points are created. NEVER reach, or put any part of
your body, into the scissors mechanism. ALWAYS use the maintenance prop before reaching under the deck. DO NOT
put hands or feet under the deck at any time UNLESS the maintenance props are in place.
 DO NOT attempt to lift or transport loads that exceed the maximum rated load of the cart. Before transporting a load,
secure the load to the deck (if necessary) and then lower the deck.
 DO NOT stand, sit or ride on the cart.
 DO NOT use the cart UNLESS all safety labels are in place and readable.
 DO NOT use the cart if you hear unusual sounds while raising or lowering the deck.
 Always watch the load carefully while raising or lowering the deck.
 ONLY use the cart on stable, improved surfaces.
 DO NOT leave a loaded cart unattended. ALWAYS unload the cart, and return it to the designated storage location
BEFORE leaving the cart unattended.
 DO NOT modify the cart without the express, written approval from Vestil. Unauthorized modifications
could make the cart unsafe to use. Unauthorized modification(s) automatically voids the warranty.
 DO NOT modify the ladder in any way UNLESS you first obtain written approval from Vestil. Unauthorized
modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p. 8) and might make the table unsafe to use.
