on/attached to the crane at all times. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of the safe operation,
inspection or maintenance procedures whenever necessary.
DANGER
DO not install or use the crane in areas where it will contact electrified wires. Electrocution might occur if the
crane, hoist, or load, etc. contacts electrified wires.
WARNING
Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries.
•ALWAYS apply operation, inspection, and maintenance recommendations in 29 CFR 1910.179. Contact the
occupational safety and health institution of the state where the crane is used for requirements applied to jib
cranes.
•DO NOT use a damaged or malfunctioning jib! Restore the crane to satisfactory condition before returning it to
service.
•DO NOT attempt to lift a load that weighs more than the capacity of your crane. Capacity information for
each JIB-FM model crane is provided in the SPECIFICATIONS table on p. 2. Capacity information also appears in
the LABELING DIAGRAM section of this manual on p. 11, as well as on capacity labels applied to the crane. The
weights of the load, hoist, trolley, rigging, and all other equipment attached to the jib must be added together to
determine the net weight applied to the jib. The net weight must never exceed the capacity.
•Always perform the FUNCTION TESTS on p. 8 before each use.
•Inform all persons in the area that you are going to use the crane; instruct them to stay clear of the device and
the supported load during operation.
•Keep clear of suspended loads. DO NOT put any part of your body under a suspended load. DO NOT stand
beneath, or travel under, the crane if a load is suspended. DO NOT permit any person to stand beneath or travel
•DO NOT lift people with the crane. DO NOT lift loads over people. DO NOT climb on the load or the crane.
•DO NOT operate manual motions with other than manual power.
•ALWAYS load the jib as recommended on p. 8. Failure to properly position a load might cause the load to
swing when it is lifted. Load swing might result in serious injury.
•DO NOT use the crane if any label is unreadable, damaged, or missing. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 11.

ASSEMBLING THE CRANE
Numbers in parentheses correspond to part numbers in the EXPLODED VIEWS on pages 3, 4, and 5.
Step 1:Create a foundation with embedded reinforcing rods. The necessary minimum foundation
requirements for each JIB-FM model crane are provided in the diagrams and table below. When the
foundation is adequately cured, install 7/8” jam nuts onto the anchor bolts (eight (8) total). Wind them to
the surface of the foundation. Level across the jam nuts by raising/lowering them as necessary to make
all of the nuts level. Create a mortar pedestal with grout, e.g. Morta Mix, inside the perimeter formed by
the jam nuts. See OVERHEAD VIEW OF FOUNDATION diagram below. The top of the grout pedestal
should be level with the tops of the jam nuts.
Step 2:Set the mast on the foundation. Align the bolt holes in the mounting plate with the anchor bolts
and carefully lower the mast onto the leveling nuts. Install 7/8” lock nuts on the anchor bolts but leave
them loose. Plumb the mast in 90° increments: Check the vertical levelness of the mast at 4 locations
equally spaced around the circumference of the mast. Adjust the leveling nuts as necessary to fine tune
mast levelness; then tighten the lock nuts against the mounting plate.

USING THE CRANE
Before using the crane for the first time, perform a BEFORE AND AFTER EACH USE inspection.
WARNING
Serious personal injury or death could result from improper use.
•Only qualified, designated crane operators should use this device. The operating instructions in this
manual supplement safe (crane and hoist) operation techniques learned during your training program.
ALWAYS apply those techniques and conform to OSHA crane operation standards (29 CFR 1910.179).
•Instruct all persons to remain at a safe distance during operation. All personnel not using the crane
should remain outside the operating area during use.
•Tag the crane “Out of service” and notify your maintenance personnel if: 1) you observe any damage to
the anchor bolts or the foundation especially the concrete around the anchor bolts; 2) hear unusual noise
during use; 3) see warps, cracks, etc. of the boom, the mounting plate (base of the mast), the socket, or the
load hook or chain/cable.
FUNCTION TESTS
Verify that the jib operates normally by performing the tests below.
If an issue is discovered, tag the
crane “Out of Service”. Restore the crane to normal operating condition before returning it to service.
1. Test the bearing: R
otate the boom in both directions. Make sure that the boom rotates smoothly. Listen
for unusual no
ises while the boom rotates. If the boom wobbles or is unusually noisy, remove the boom and
socket from the mast. Grease the bearing inside the socket. Reinstall the boom and socket on top of the
mast. If lubrication does not resolve the problem, the beari
ng might need to be replaced. Contact the
factory to discuss the problem and to order replacement parts.
2. Test the hoist and trolley according to the manufacturers’ instructions.
!
Step 4 [JIB-FM-40]:Attach the boom to the rear bracket of the socket using 3/
4
” hardware as
indicated in the diagrams below. Fasten bolts and nuts to 94ft∙lb. of torque. Then, apply the beam
clamps. Install 5/8” hardware through the clamps and secure them with lock washers and hex nuts.
Fasten bolts and nuts to 50-52ft∙lb. of torque. The clamps of both sides of the beam should equally
overlap the I-beam flange.
Fill the remaining space under the mounting plate with grout. Allow the
grout to fully cure before placing the jib in service.

Proper load lifting
Always follow the instructions provided with your hoist and trolley.
Position the trolley and hoist directly above the load. Proper positioning is diagrammed below.
Proper load centering beneath hoist and trolley
Improperly positioned loads
Connect the load to the hoist chain/cable, using appropriate rigging. Then, raise the load only as high as
necessary. To rotate the boom, slowly direct the load to the desired location. Once the boom and hoist are
properly centered above the work location, lower the load and disconnect it from the hoist.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Thoroughly inspect the crane after assembling it and before putting it into service. Record the condition and
appearance of each of the frame members (boom, mast, and mast socket), the rollers, and all fasteners (bolts,
nuts, etc.). Thoroughly photograph the crane from multiple angles. Include close range photographs of the
rollers, all labeling, and all boom connections/fasteners. Also photograph the foundation, paying particular
attention to the area immediately surrounding the base of the mast. Add the photographs to the record. Collect
all photographs and writings in a single file. This file is a record of the crane in satisfactory condition. Compare the
results of all INSPECTIONS to this RECORD to determine whether the crane is in satisfactory condition. Do not use
the crane unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint or powdercoat, are
not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied as soon as damage occurs.
NATIONAL STANDARDS
This product is a floor mounted jib crane. ASME standard B30.17 (the “Standard”) applies to jib cranes. You
should acquire a copy of the latest version of the standard. Follow all use and maintenance/care instructions
provided in the Standard as well as all other provisions for jib crane owners and users. If any content in this manual
is inconsistent with a recommendation or mandatory provision in the Standard, apply the provision from the

INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Inspection procedures are included in the most current revision of ASME B30.17. As stated above
in the NATIONAL STANDARDS section, Vestil recommends that you acquire a copy of the most recent
revision of this standard. Apply all use and maintenance/care instructions in the standard. Vestil also
recommends that you contact your local occupational health and safety authority to determine if any
laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, etc. apply inspection requirements where the crane is used.
Inspections and all necessary repairs should be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of
each inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. Do not use the crane unless every part is
in satisfactory condition. DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your crane,
contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this
manual. Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved
replacement parts to restore the crane to satisfactory condition.
A. Before and after each use (including first use), unload the crane and inspect the following
components:
1) I-Beam/Boom – Examine the beam, especially the lower flanges, welds, and regions around
fasteners, for bends, cracks, rusting/corrosion, and other forms of damage.
2) Beam Clamps and Beam Clamp Fasteners –Clamp connections are shown in Step 4 on p. 8. Verify
that all lock washers are fully compressed. The clamps of both sides of the beam should equally
overlap the I-beam flange.
3) Beam Bracket and Rear Bracket – Look for cracks, elongations around bolt holes, warps, bends, etc.
4) Foundation and Foundation/Anchor Bolts –Examine the foundation, particularly around the base of
the crane, for cracks, pitting, broken concrete, and other forms of damage. Inspect all anchoring
hardware (bolts, nuts, washers). Look for rusting/corrosion. Make sure that the mast is securely
anchored (i.e. does not wobble) to the foundation. All connections must be solid. Tighten loose nuts.
5) Socket, Rollers and Pins, Thrust Bearing, and Inner Bearing – Check all rollers, clevis pins, and cotter
pins. All clevis pins must be secured in place with cotter/spring pins. Rotate the boom. Rollers should
smoothly and quietly roll over the surface of the mast. Examine the rollers for cracks, significant wear,
and other forms of damage. The socket should not wobble as the boom rotates. Each roller must be
evenly worn and undamaged. The socket itself should be rigid and undamaged. Lubricate the inner
bearing whenever the boom becomes noisy while rotating or when its resistance to rotation
increases. Replace the inner bearing if noise and/or resistance is not improved with lubrication.
6) Boom/I-Beam –Check the boom and its mounting bracket for structural damage, i.e. severe wear,
bending, cracking, etc. Replace the entire boom assembly if structural damage is present.
7) Surface coating - Apply touch-up paint wherever the finish has been affected.
B. Monthly inspections – Unload the crane and inspect the following:
1) Beam Clamps and Beam Clamp Fasteners –Use a torque wrench to tighten each bolt and nut to
50-52ft∙lb. Examine all of the clamps for damage including deformations and cracks. The I-beam
flange should be solidly/immovably clamped to the tops of the uprights by the clamps
2) Beam Bracket and Rear Bracket – Look for cracks, elongations, broken concrete around bolt holes,
warps, bends, etc. Make sure that all fasteners are tightened to 94ft∙lb.
C. Once per year: Perform a load test. Lift a load equal to 125% of its rated load (capacity). Only lift the
load high enough to ensure that it is entirely supported by the crane. Transport the load by means of your
hoist (or hoist & trolley) the full usable length of the I-beam (dimension E in SPECIFICATIONS diagram and
table on p. 2). Return the test load to the ground. Perform inspections A (Before and after each use) and
B (Monthly). NOTE: Perform this part C (Load test and a Before & after use inspection) whenever the crane
is partially or fully disassembled and reassembled, e.g. after installing replacement parts.
