Each manual trash compactor conforms to the generalized specifications disclosed in this manual and
conforms to our demanding standards for quality, durability and user safety.
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. recognizes the critical importance of workplace safety. Each person who might
participate in the assembly, use, inspection or maintenance of the product must read this manual. Read the
entire manual and fully understand each instruction BEFORE assembling, using or maintaining the
compactor. If you do not understand an instruction, contact Vestil for clarification. Failure to adhere to
the directions in this manual might lead to serious personal injury or even death.
Vestil is not liable for any injury or property damage that occurs as a consequence of failing to apply the safe
operation and maintenance procedures explained in this manual or that appear on labels affixed to the product.
Failure to exercise good judgment and common sense may result in property damage, serious personal injury, or
death, and such failure is not the responsibility of Vestil.
This manual applies the hazard identification methods recommended for instruction manuals by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) in standard Z535.6-2006. In accordance with ANSI guidelines, this manual
identifies personal injury risks and situations that could lead to property damage with SIGNAL WORDS. These
signal words announce an associated safety message. The reader must understand that the signal word chosen
to identify a particular hazard conveys information about the seriousness of that hazard according to the following
convention:
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or
MODERATE injury.
Identifies practices not related to personal injury, such as operation that could damage the cart.
No safety alert symbol (equilateral triangle enclosing an exclamation point) accompanies this
signal word.
