SIGNAL WORDS:
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to identify dangers that might arise during use 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. Signal words used in this manual appear below along with their definitions.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that
might damage the product.
Improper Use Might Cause Personal Injuries:
Vestil diligently strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, material
handling is inherently dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. The end-user ultimately is
responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
Improper or careless use of this product might result in serious personal injuries or even death.
Read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the product.
Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance procedures.
DO NOT modify the product in any way UNLESS you first obtain written approval from Vestil. Unauthorized
modifications might make the lift unsafe to use and automatically void the Limited Warranty (see p. 20).
DO NOT exceed the maximum rated load (see “Specifications” table on p. 3; Label 287 on product).
Inspect the product before each use according to the instructions on p. 18.
A. DO NOT use this product if the inspection reveals structural damage. Examples of structural damage include,
but are not limited to, the following: 1) Cracked, broken or deformed load-bearing members (forks, fork
carriage, mast, wheels, and frame); 2) cracked welds; 3) corrosion or severe wear; 4) damaged, e.g. leaking,
hydraulic system (cylinder, hoses, reservoir, etc.). Remove the product from service if it fails any part of the
inspection. DO NOT use the product until it is fully restored to normal condition. In the event that part of the
hydraulic system is damaged, AVOID contact with pressurized hydraulic oil (leaking from a ruptured hose, for
instance). High pressure oil easily punctures skin which can cause injury such as gangrene.
B. 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 & maintenance personnel about the issue.
C. ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
DO NOT change the setting of the pressure relief valve.
Whenever using this product, carefully watch the forks and the load.

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
The capacity of the unit appears on label 287 (see p. 19). DO NOT apply a load to the forks that exceeds the capacity.
When loading the stacker, always follow these guidelines:
1. The load should firmly contact the upright portions of the forks;
2. DO NOT apply a load to the tips of the forks;
3. Center the load on the forks;
4. Only transport loads in the lowered position.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
NOTE: AC powered units must be plugged into a wall outlet via the flanged inlet (see FIG. 10 on p. 10).
The lift cylinder can be controlled with either a handheld
pendant controller or the push buttons in the housing of the
modular power unit. To raise or lower the fork carriage:
a) Push buttons on MPU: press the button marked “RAISE”
or “LOWER”.
b) Handheld controller: press the white (raise) button to
raise the forks. The black (lower) button lowers the forks.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION:
Pressing either raise button activates the electric motor. The
motor turns the hydraulic pump, which draws oil out of the
reservoir (inside the power unit). Oil flows through a suction filter
and into the pump. Pressurized oil then flows from the pump,
through a check valve (to prevent back flow when the pump is
not running), and into the cylinder. Oil remains in the cylinder
allowing the forks to maintain elevation after the raise button is
released.
If the weight of the load applied to the forks exceeds the
capacity of the stacker, the forks will not rise even though the
raise button is pressed. Pressure will increase in the hydraulic
circuit between the pump and the cylinder. When pressure
reaches a preset level, a relief valve unseats and allows oil to
circulate back to the reservoir. Redirecting oil during an overload
situation prevents oil pressure from continuing to increase.
Extremely high pressure might damage the hydraulic system.
To lower the forks, press the lower button. This energizes the lowering solenoid valve coil, unseats the poppet valve,
and allows oil to return to the reservoir. As oil flows from the cylinder, it passes through a pressure compensated flow
control valve (PCFC). The PCFC restricts the amount of oil leaving the cylinders. Governing flow ensures that the forks
descend at a constant, controlled rate.
Releasing the DOWN button de-energizes the solenoid and closes the valve poppet. Both the closed poppet and the
check valve work to prevent oil from returning to the reservoir. Consequently, the cylinder stops retracting and the forks
maintain their positions.
LOWERING SOLENOID VALVE:
Your stacker is equipped with a cartridge lowering valve. If a malfunction occurs while lowering the fork carriage, refer
to the solutions presented in “Troubleshooting” on p. 15-16. To clean the lowering solenoid, follow this procedure:
1. Completely lower the fork carriage.
2. Use a sharp object, like a small screwdriver, to push the poppet in from the bottom and open the valve.
3. Repeat several times while immersing the valve in kerosene or mineral spirits. Blow the cleaned valve dry.
4. Blow compressed air through the valve while holding the valve open as described in step 2.
5. Inspect the O-rings and the PTFE washer (polytetrafluoroethylene). If either component is damaged, replace it.
6. Reinstall the valve. The valve should be tightened to approximately 20ft·Ib of torque.
VELOCITY FUSE:
A brass velocity fuse with a stainless steel spring can be found in the base of the cylinder. If a hose or fitting fails,
hydraulic pressure drops and the forks lower rapidly. As soon as the descent speed exceeds a preset speed, the velocity
fuse activates to cease oil flow. Consequently, the forks will not lower until hydraulic pressure is reestablished. Always
unload the forks if the velocity fuse activates.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DIAGRAM:

rev. 1/16/2017 CBS, MANUAL.doc
Copyright 2017 Vestil Manufacturing Corp. Page 15 of 20
Air in the hydraulic circuit can also cause the velocity fuse to activate although no failure has occurred. To reset the
velocity fuse, activate the pump by jogging the raise button. Immediately after resetting the velocity fuse, fully lower the
forks. Cycle the forks all the way to the top of the mast and back down several times to purge air from the system.
AIR BLEED PROCEDURE:
If the forks descend very slowly or do not lower, air probably is trapped in the hydraulic circuit and must be bled from
the system. To bleed air from the circuit:
1.) Completely unload and lower the forks.
2.) Loosen the bleeder screw at the top of the cylinder approximately 1/4 to 1/2 turn to allow trapped air to escape. Jog the
motor to push air out of the system.
3.) When air is no longer present in the cylinder, only clear hydraulic fluid will flow from the bleeder screw opening.
4.) Retighten the bleeder screw.

BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION
Working with or near lead acid batteries is dangerous.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases. A battery explosion could result in loss of eyesight or
serious burns.
DO NOT expose the battery to sparks or flames, i.e. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE BATTERY!!
ONLY charge batteries in clean, dry, and well ventilated locations.
DO NOT lay tools or any metallic item on top of a battery.
When working with batteries, remove personal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches. A battery can
produce enough voltage to weld jewelry to metal.
Always have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case contact with battery acid occurs.
Operating the battery with a low battery voltage can cause premature motor contact failure.
The charger is equipped with an external ground wire (small green). During installation the charger must be grounded
to the equipment which it is connected to. Be sure this wire is always connected to the chassis, frame, or other metallic
surface considered to be ground.
Confirm that all battery connections are sound and clean.
Replace defective cords and wires immediately.
DO NOT use the charger if the flanged inlet is damaged.
DO NOT connect the charger to a damaged extension cord.
Every DC powered stacker is equipped with an onboard battery charger having a flanged electrical inlet. The charger is
current limited and will not exceed its rated output even if loads are placed on the battery while it is charging. The charger
fuse will blow if it is connected in reverse polarity.
To charge the battery:
1.) Plug the charger into an 115V 60 Hz receptacle by connecting the flanged inlet on the charger to an extension cord.
Plug the other end of the cord to a wall socket. Use a short, thick extension cord.
2.) When properly connected, the charge LED will indicate the status of charge current flowing to the battery.
If only the red LED is on, the charger is providing full output to the battery.
If both the red and green LED's are on, the charger is "topping off" the battery.
When only the green LED is on, the unit is providing a "float" (maintenance) charge.
DO NOT leave the charger on for long periods after the battery is fully charged.
3.) Unplug the charger before using the stacker.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the charger does not work:
1) Make sure all battery connections are electrically and mechanically sound.
2) Confirm that the AC source (e.g. wall socket) for power.
3) Check the fuse. Replace only with a fuse having the same rating as originally supplied.
4) Determine battery condition. It may take some time before current begins to flow through a highly sulfated
battery.

oContact the manufacturer for SDS information.
Inspections:
(A) Before Each Use—visually inspect the following:
1. Electrical system: inspect the modular power unit and electrical wiring for damage.
2. Casters: examine each caster and confirm normal operating condition, i.e. rolls smoothly without wobbling, not
cracked, or severely worn,
3. Hydraulic hoses: check for pinches, punctures, and loose connections.
4. Structure: inspect the frame for deformations and cracked welds.
5. Forks, carriage and mast: cycle the forks up and down while listening and watching unusual noise, motion, or
binding.
6. Pushbutton controller: inspect the controller and look for damage that exposes wiring inside the controller
housing.
(B) Monthly Inspections--at least once per month thoroughly inspect the following:
1. Oil level. Oil should be 1" to 1
1
/
2
" below the top of the tank when the forks are fully lowered. Add oil as necessary.
Look for oil leaking from hoses, the cylinder, or the reservoir. See “Troubleshooting” (p. 15-16).
2. Battery: check the water level in the battery. (DC models only)
3. Clevis pins and pivot points: inspect for excessive wear.
4. Modular power unit, wiring, limit switches, and pushbutton controller: Check for severely worn or damaged
hydraulic hoses, electrical wires, and cords. Repair as necessary.
5. Roller bearings (see p. 4-5): check rollers and retaining hardware for normal condition.
6. Forks, carriage and mast: cycle the forks up and down. Listen and watch for unusual noise, motion (e.g. binding).
7. Labels (see “Labeling diagram”; p. 19): confirm that all labels are in place and in good, readable condition.
8. Surfaces: remove dirt and debris.
(C) Yearly Inspection
Hydraulic oil should be changed at least once a year or sooner if the oil darkens or becomes gritty. Flush the reservoir
before refilling. Similarly, if the oil appears milky, water is present and the oil should be changed.
Maintenance:
Implement a regular maintenance program to ensure that the stacker remains in normal condition. ANSI/ITSDF standard
B56.10 describes some recommended maintenance procedures which should be followed. A copy of the standard is
downloadable for free at http://www.itsdf.org/. The following steps should be applied in conjunction with those
recommendations.
Step 1: Tag the unit, “Out of Service.”
Step 2: Perform a monthly inspection. If deformity, corrosion, rusting, or excessive wear of frame members is noticed, DO
NOT continue to use the stacker. Contact Vestil for instructions. If the fork carriage does not move smoothly or makes
noise as it moves up or down the mast, apply a silicon wax or silicon spray to the inside of the mast frame.
Step 3: Remove any dirt or other matter from the forks and other surfaces.
Step 4: Perform all other necessary adjustments and/or repairs. DO NOT modify the stacker. A modification is a change
that alters the machine from normal operating condition, like bending frame members or removing parts.
Step 5: Make a dated record of the repairs, adjustments and/or replacements.
