Signal Words
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to indicate the likelihood of personal injuries, as well as the probable
seriousness of those injuries, if the product is misused in the ways described. Other signal words call attention to
uses of the product likely cause property damage. The signal words used appear below along with the meaning of
each word:

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 likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might

Safe use recommendations:
Vestil strives to identify all of the hazards associated with the use of its products. However, material handling is
dangerous and no manual can address every risk. Ultimately, the most effective means for avoiding injury is for the
end-user to exercising sound judgment during the assembly, installation, and use of this rack.
If this product is assembled, installed, or used improperly, serious personal injuries might result.
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, installing, loading or servicing the
product constitutes misuse.Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance
procedures as necessary.
DO NOT exceed the maximum rated load.
Inspect the rack periodically (AT LEAST once per month). DO NOT continue to use the rack if the inspection
reveals structural damage. Examples of structural damage include: 1) warped, deformed, or damaged dividers or
base frame; 2) cracked welds; 3) enlargement of bolt holes; 4) corrosion, severe wear, or other condition that
affects the ability of the product to support weight; 6) damaged, deformed or cracked channels (for machined nuts).
Immediately tag out the rack, unload it completely, and replace each part that fails to pass an inspection. DO NOT
use the product until it is fully restored to normal condition. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
DO NOT use the product if any unusual noise or movement is observed. If a malfunction occurs, remove the unit
from service and notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel about the issue.
All loads stored on the rack must fit within the dimensions of the rack. DO NOT store any load that hangs over
the rack.
DO NOT use the rack UNLESS it is securely anchored to the ground.
ALWAYS evenly distribute and center loads applied to the rack.
ONLY install this rack on even, level surfaces.
DO NOT remove or obscure any label. All product labels must be readable and undamaged.
DO NOT climb on the rack.
DO NOT modify the rack in any way. Unauthorized modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p.
6) and might make the rack unsafe to use.
Proper maintenance is essential for this product to function properly and to last as long as possible.
oAlways use this product in accordance with the instructions in this manual and consistent with any training
relevant to the storage of materials on racks.
oKeep the rack clean & dry.

Assembly:
Only the VHSR-4B requires assembly. To assemble the rack Slide a machined nut (part no.31-120-001 as shown in FIG.
1A on p. 3) into the channels on both sides of the base frame. Next, set a divider on the base fame and align the bolt
holes in the mounting brackets with the bolt holes in the machined nuts. Wind a 7/16” - 14 x 1” bolt through each bracket
and nut. In the diagrams below, installation of the middle divider is demonstrated. Refer to FIG. 1B on p. 3 to achieve
equal spacing between dividers.
