Vestil Manufacturing Corp. recognizes the critical importance of workplace safety. Each
person who might participate in the assembly, use, operation, or maintenance of the product
must read this manual. Read the entire manual and fully understand the directions
BEFORE using or maintaining the cart. 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 also are not the
responsibility of Vestil.
This manual applies the hazard identification methods suggested for instruction manuals by
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in ANSI standard Z535.6-2006. In
accordance with ANSI guidelines for hazard warning language, 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 safety hazard categorizes 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.
These symbols
identify hazards
that may result in
personal injury
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.
Although Z535.6-2006 approves the use of “CAUTION” without an
accompanying safety alert symbol (black equilateral triangle with
yellow exclamation point) as an alternative to “NOTICE”, this
manual differentiates between hazards that pose a risk of
personal injury and those that create mere property damage
situations. In this manual, “CAUTION” appears exclusively in
conjunction with the safety alert symbol to identify injury
risks.
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.
