Vestil BC series - Manual (Page 12)

The reader should understand the significant difference between “ Adjustments” and
“Repairs,” and “Modifications”.
¾ An adjustment or repair refers to a simple correction that restores the clamp to normal operating
condition, such as tightening loose fasteners, or removing debris from the surface of the clamp. DO
NOT use the clamp if adjustments and/or repairs are incomplete! Return the clamp to service ONLY
after finishing all necessary repairs and adjustments.
¾ A modification is a change that alters the clamp from normal operating condition, like bending the
structural members. NEVER modify the clamp without the express, written approval of Vestil.
Modifications may render the clamp unsafe to use.
Step 5: Perform a periodic inspection, as recommended in ASME B30.20.
Step 6: Make a dated record of the repairs, adjustments and/or replacements made.
Markings:
Only use the clamp if ALL labels are readable and undamaged. Contact Vestil for replacement labels.
