Vestil CART-1100-SS - Manual (Page 10)

U SE I NSTRUCTIONS :
The cart is suitable for use in most industrial and commercial settings. Only authorized persons should use the
scissors lift cart. “Authorized person” means someone the end-user approves or assigns to use the cart because
he/she is either:
1. Qualified: Someone with demonstrated ability to deal with problems relating to the scissors lift cart by
virtue of having a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, and who additionally has
knowledge of, training related to, and experience with scissor lifts carts; AND/OR
2. Trained: Someone trained by a qualified person and who has demonstrated the ability to perform
particular function(s) on or around a scissor lift.
Only use the cart to transport and lift stable, evenly distributed, non-hazardous loads and containers with rigid
sides.
L OADING :
Any load put on the cart should be approximately the same size as the deck or smaller.
Center and evenly distribute a load on the deck. Position the center of the load between the scissor legs and on
the deck midline as shown in figures 7A & 7B below.
If the cart is improperly loaded, the operator and/or bystanders might be seriously injured:
1. The rated load (in pounds) of the cart appears on the product data label, which is affixed to the left corner of
the operator end of the deck. The rated load indicates the net capacity of the cart, i.e. the weight of all
accessory equipment added to the cart must be added to the weight of the load. The total weight must be
less than or equal to the rated capacity of the cart:
Weight of load + weight of accessories = (or less than) Cart Capacity
2. Always properly stabilize the cart and the load:
a. If the load might roll or slide off of the deck, immobilize it and secure it to the deck before moving the cart.
For example, round material like pipe might roll off of the deck. Immobilize the pipe with chocks and use
one or more straps to secure the pipe and chocks in place on the deck.
b. DO NOT front load or rear load the cart. This means that you should not center a load on the portions of
the deck highlighted in FIG.’s 7A & 7B, “DO NOT center load here”. For applications involving side or end
edge loading, contact the factory.
