• Do not remove, alter, or obscure any label. If a label is damaged or unreadable, replace it. DO NOT use the lifter
until all replacement labels are applied.
• Do not exceed the capacity of your table! Each table is labeled with its capacity. See Label 287 in Labeling
Diagram on p. 6).
• The table should never be used with fewer than 4 springs.
• Center and evenly distribute loads applied to the table.
• Apply both caster brakes whenever the table is stationary and particularly whenever loads are applied.
• Do not move the table across sloped terrain while it is loaded.
• ALWAYS remain uphill of the (unloaded) table whenever moving up or down inclines. If you cannot easily handle
the table, do not attempt to move it by yourself.

Record of Normal Condition:
Before using the table for the first time, create a written record of its appearance and functions. Include detailed
descriptions about the frame, casters, load deck, and the mast. Include observations about how the load deck
responds when a test weight is applied to it as well as any sounds you hear. Thoroughly photograph the unit and all
labels. Add the photographs to the record. This record establishes “normal condition”. When conducting future
inspections, compare your observations with the record to determine if a component is in normal condition or requires
repair or replacement.
Inspections & Maintenance:
Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary to keep the table in normal condition for as long as possible.
Do not use the table unless it is in normal operating condition. Complete all replacements and repairs before
returning the table to service.
Step 1: Tag the table “Out of Service.”
Step 2: At least once per month, inspect the elements listed below. Refer to the appropriate Exploded View on p. 3 or 4.
A. Frame: Inspect all welds for cracks. Inspect the metal tubing for damage, warps, and cracks. Also examine
the connection points between the frame and the formed base piece. Make sure that the nuts and bolts are
securely fastened together and that the bolt holes in the frame are not elongated, warped, or cracked.
B. Casters, caster receivers, and retaining hardware: Check casters for excessive wear. All 4 casters should
solidly contact the ground and should roll smoothly without wobbling. Examine the center hub of each
caster for cracks. Confirm that caster receivers (see p. 3 or 4) and retaining hardware are in normal condition.
C. Mast (body), load deck, and carriage: Inspect all parts of the deck and carriage for cracks, bends, and other
damage. The deck should be level, square, and rigid. Apply a test load to the deck. Make sure that the deck
descends smoothly and evenly from side to side. If the deck makes a lot of noise as it moves, apply a silicon
wax to the mast track and lubricate the roller bearings.
D. Springs: Remove the top cover and examine the springs. Confirm that every spring is intact. Apply a
test load to the deck and slowly reduce it. Confirm that the springs recoil normally. Replace a spring
if it is stretched, bent, or severely rusted.
Step 3: Complete all necessary repairs/replacements. Deformities, severe corrosion or rusting, or excessive wear of
any part warrants immediate replacement of that part. DO NOT return the table to service until adjustments and
repairs are complete!
NOTE: Adjustments and repairs differ significantly from modifications.
a) Adjustment (or repair) means a simple correction that restores the cart to normal condition. Examples include
tightening loose fasteners and lubricating moving parts.
b) Modifications are changes that alter the cart from original condition, like bending the frame. NEVER modify the
cart without express, written approval from Vestil. Modifications automatically void the limited warranty and might
make the device unsafe to use.
Step 4: Make a dated record of all repairs, adjustments and replacements.
Step 5: Store the cart indoors in a dry location.
Labeling Diagram:
Each unit should be labeled as shown in the diagram. However, label content and location are subject to
change so your product might not be labeled exactly as shown. Replace all labels that are damaged, missing, or
not easily readable (e.g. faded). To order replacement labels, contact the technical service and parts department
online at http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_info.htm. Alternatively, you may request replacement parts and/or service
by calling [phone] and asking the operator to connect you to the Parts Department.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Vestil Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”) warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship
during the warranty period. Our warranty obligation is to provide a replacement for a defective, original part covered
by the warranty after we receive a proper request from the Warrantee (you) for warranty service.
Who may request service?
Only a warrantee may request service. You are a warrantee if you purchased the product from Vestil or from an
authorized distributor AND Vestil has been fully paid.
Definition of “original part”?
An original part is a part used to make the product as shipped to the Warrantee.
What is a “proper request”?
A request for warranty service is proper if Vestil receives: 1) a photocopy of the Customer Invoice that displays the
shipping date; AND 2) a written request for warranty service including your name and phone number. Send requests
by one of the following methods:
US Mail Fax Email
Vestil Manufacturing Corporation [phone] [e-mail]
2999 North Wayne Street, PO Box 507 Phone Enter “Warranty service request”
Angola, IN 46703 [phone] in subject field.
In the written request, list the parts believed to be defective and include the address where replacements should be
delivered. After Vestil receives your request for warranty service, an authorized representative will contact you to
determine whether your claim is covered by the warranty. Before providing warranty service, Vestil will require you to
send the entire product, or just the defective part (or parts), to its facility in Angola, IN.

and cylinders. It also covers defects in original parts that wear under normal usage conditions (“wearing parts”), such
as bearings, hoses, wheels, seals, brushes, and batteries.
How long is the warranty period?
The warranty period for original dynamic components is 1 year. For wearing parts, the warranty period is 90 days.
Both warranty periods begin on the date Vestil ships the product to the Warrantee. If the product was purchased from
an authorized distributor, the periods begin when the distributor ships the product. Vestil may, at its sole discretion,
extend a warranty period for products shipped from authorized distributors by up to 30 days to account for shipping
time.
If a defective part is covered by the warranty, what will Vestil do to correct the problem?
Vestil will provide an appropriate replacement for any covered part. An authorized representative of Vestil will
contact you to discuss your claim.
What is not covered by the warranty?
The Warrantee (you) is responsible for paying labor costs and freight costs to return the product to Vestil for
warranty service.

•Negligent assembly, installation, operation or repair;
•Installation/use in corrosive environments;
•Inadequate or improper maintenance;
•Damage sustained during shipping;

allowed by law. Any implied warranty not disclaimed is limited in scope to the terms of this Limited Warranty. Vestil
makes no warranty or representation that this product complies with any state or local design, performance, or safety
