SIGNAL WORDS
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to direct the reader’s attention to important safety-related messages.
These messages describe actions or omissions that could result in personal injury or property damage. Each
signal word corresponds to a specific hazard level.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJ URY. 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
INJ URY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or MODERATE
injury.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might
damage the product or other property.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify all foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, material
handling is dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. Ultimately, the most effective way to
prevent injury is to apply sound judgment whenever using this device.
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.
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 normal operating condition before returning it to
service.
•DO NOT exceed the capacity of your jib. See SPECIFICATIONS for your crane, p. 2, 3, or 4. The weights of the
load, 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 not exceed the capacity.
•Always perform the FUNCTION TESTS on p. 6 before each use.
•Inform all persons in the area that you are going to use the crane. Instruct them to stay out of the area during
operation.
•NO ONE should ever stand beneath or travel under the crane when a load is suspended from it.
•DO NOT use the jib to lift/support people.
•ALWAYS load the jib as recommended in USING THE CRANE on p. 7. 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. 9.
Contact Vestil for replacement labels.
•DO NOT modify the crane! Modifications automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY on either p. 10 or p. 11 and
might make the crane unsafe to use.
ASSEMBLING THE CRANE
1) Install the boom over the top of the mast. Install the knob and tighten it against the mast.

INSTALLING THE CRANE
Refer to the applicable exploded view on page 2, 3, or 4.
Step 1: Contact the vehicle manufacturer to determine the
appropriate place to install the crane as well as the hardware that
should be used to fasten the crane to the vehicle. (Bolt slots in the
mounting plate are 7/8” x 11/4” to accept bolts up to 3/4” in diameter).
When choosing an installation site, consider the following factors:
a. The vehicle must be able to support the combined weight of
the crane and a load weighing 125% of the capacity, i.e.
400 lb. x 1.25 = 500 lb.
b. The installation location must also be able to withstand the
dynamic forces exerted on it by the jib as the vehicle
moves.
c. The boom must be able to rotate freely, i.e. without running
into the sides of the vehicle.
Step 2: Put the jib into storage configuration. Fold the boom against
itself and wrap a strap around it. The jib should remain completely
assembled and in storage configuration during the installation.
Step 3: Using the mounting plate as a template, mark the locations
of the bolt holes on the vehicle surface. Drill 9/16” holes in the
locations of the markings for the anchoring hardware.
Step 4: Align the bolt holes in the mounting plate with the holes
drilled in step 3. One person should stabilize the jib while the other
fastens the mounting plate to the vehicle using the hardware and
any backing or stiffeners recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer.
Step 5 [DC and AC models]: Prepare the winch for operation.
a. [AC units] Connect the power cord to the power supply. On
b. [DC units]: Connect the power supply cord and pendant control cable to
the winch.
Step 6: Lower and raise the cable hook.
a. Manual units: Wind the handle clockwise to raise the hook or
counterclockwise to lower the hook.
b. Powered units: press the up and down buttons on either the toggle switch
(AC units) or the handheld pendant controller (DC units). Watch the cable.
Confirm that it smoothly winds off of and onto the winch spool.
Step 7: Perform a load test on the jib by using it to lift a test weight equal to
125% of the rated capacity (500 lb.). Inspect both the crane and the vehicle
after performing the load test. Look for cracks, bends, and other forms of
damage at and around the installation site. Repair the site, if necessary, and
perform another load test to confirm that problems are resolved.

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 mast bearing: Rotate the boom in both directions. Make sure that it rotates smoothly. Listen for unusual
noises. If the crane wobbles or is unusually noisy as it rotates, remove the boom from the mast and grease the
bearing at the top of the mast. If lubrication does not resolve the problem, the bearing might need to be replaced.
Contact the factory to discuss the problem and to order replacement parts.
2. Test the winch: Lower and raise the load hook. Make sur
e that the hook moves at a constant rate. The cable
should not bind as the winch operates.

USING THE CRANE
To properly operate the crane, apply the following steps.
1. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
a. AC units: connect to a properly grounded, GFCI-protected, 115V outlet.
b. DC units: make sure battery connections are secure.
2. Apply appropriate rigging to the load.
3. Adjust the length and angle of the boom as your application requires. Consult the appropriate table on page 2 to
make sure that the load does not exceed the capacity of the crane in its present configuration.
4. If your crane has a manual winch, stand on the same side of the crane as the winch handle. Turn the handle
clockwise to lower the hook. If your winch is equipped with a powered winch, then it is electronically controlled.
Both AC and DC-powered winches utilize a constant pressure (“dead man”) pushbutton controller. Press the
DOW N button on the handheld controller. The winch will operate only while a control button is pressed. Releasing
the button causes the winch to stop and the hook will maintain its position.
Lower the hook sufficiently to attach the load rigging to it. The load center should be directly below the hook to
prevent significant load swing as it rises. Proper and improper positioning is diagrammed below:
Improperly positioned loads
5. Tighten the knob tightly against the mast.
6. Turn the winch handle counterclockwise or press the UP button to raise the load. Loosen the knob and slowly
rotate the boom. Position the load as desired; then lower it until it is entirely supported by the vehicle.
NOTE: Powered winches are designed for intermittent use. Extended use without pause to allow the motor to
cool will damage the motor. Maximum continuous run time is 3 minutes.
7. Put the crane into storage configuration:
a. Fold the boom against itself.
b. Strap the boom sections together.
c. [AC and DC units] Unplug the winch power cord and store it inside the vehicle whenever the jib is not in use.

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Before putting the crane into service, create a written record that describes the appearance of each part of the
crane and how it operates. Take photographs from multiple angles. Include close-range photos of all labeling,
mounting bolts, pulleys, pivot points, hooks, fasteners, and the winch. Cycle the winch up and down. Record your
observations about how the unit looks and sounds as the hook rises and lowers. Measure the throat opening of the
hook and record the measurement. Collect all writings and photographs into a single file. This file is a record of the
crane in satisfactory condition. Compare results of all inspections to this Record to determine whether a component is
in satisfactory condition or if it requires repair or replacement. Restore the unit to satisfactory condition before
returning it to service.
INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
Inspections and repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each inspection to
the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (the “RECORD”). Do not use the crane unless all parts are in
satisfactory condition. Replace parts that are not in satisfactory condition before returning the crane to service. 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. Inspect and maintain the unit as
described below to preserve normal operability. Remove it from service if it is damaged in any way that affects normal
operation. If the unit cannot be restored to satisfactory condition, disassemble it and dispose of the parts. The unit
must be retested at 125% of its rated capacity anytime the crane is repaired or modified. Inspect the following:
A. At least once per month
1. Winch and pulleys: cycle the winch up and down. Confirm that the cable winds off of and back onto the drum
smoothly. The hook should not lower on its own. The cable pulley should not be loose or severely worn and
should rotate freely as the cable passes over it.
2. Winch cable: check for reeving, fraying, thinning, birdcaging, and elongating regions. If the cable is
damaged, replace it.
3. [Powered units] Winch power cord: examine the cord for damage and areas where the outer sheath has
been damaged. Repair all damage before using the winch again.
4. Frame elements: examine the mast and both segments of the boom for damage, deformation, corrosion,
cracked welds, and severe wear. Inspect all pivot points for severe wear. All frame members should be
square, rigid, and free of significant rusting. Remove rust with steel wool or a metal bristle brush , clean the
areas to remove rust particles, and apply touchup paint to the affected areas.
5. Hook: visually inspect the hook before each use. Look for deformations and cracks. Immediately discard the
hook if it is cracked or if the throat opening is more than 15% in excess of the original throat opening. Discard
the hook if it is twisted more than 10° from the plane of the hook in its original condition. Confirm normal
operation and operation of the safety latch.
6. Vehicle: inspect the vehicle where the crane is mounted. Closely examine the area around the mounting
plate. Look for rust, corrosion, and metal fatigue. Check the mounting plate (base of the mast), the anchoring
hardware, and the vehicle bed/floor particularly around the anchor bolts. Make sure that the mast is securely
anchored (i.e. does not wobble). Confirm that anchoring hardware is in normal condition.
7. Labels: confirm that all labels are in good condition and in place as shown in the “Labeling Diagram” (p. 9).
B. At least every 6 months
Conduct a load test. Lift a test weight equal to 125% of the capacity (500 lb.). After the test, examine the crane,
winch, cable, and the vehicle where the crane is mounted. Look for deformations, cracks, and metal fatigue. Do
not continue to use the crane unless both it and the supporting vehicle are in normal condition.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Unload the crane and (if applicable) disconnect the winch from the power supply before troubleshooting an issue.
