Product Manual

Assembly Instructions:
If the crane is improperly assembled, it might malfunction and result in serious personal injuries.
Read this instruction manual in its entirety before assembling the crane; only assemble the crane if you fully
understand both the associated risks and the manufacturer-approved assembly procedure discussed below.
Failure to apply the assembly procedure described in Steps 1-6 below constitutes misuse of the product.
ONLY qualified personnel should assemble the crane.
DO NOT modify the crane in any way unless and until you receive written approval from Vestil.
DO NOT use the crane if you notice damage to or deformation of the beam, teletubes, or any component of either
of the leg assemblies. Using the crane despite weakness of a structural component could result in crane collapse.
DO NOT use the crane if any of the hardware (bolts, nuts, clamps, etc.) is damaged; you could sustain serious
injuries if the crane collapses. Contact Vestil to order replacement parts.
DO NOT use the crane if any of the casters is damaged. A damaged caster may cause the crane to tip over while
hoisting or supporting a load.
Modifying the crane in any way without first receiving written approval of the modification from Vestil automatically
voids the limited warranty.
The crane is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, it should be sheltered from the weather when not
in use.
Inspect the crane for damage before each use.
Step 1
: Fasten the telescoping tubes to the leg assemblies; then fasten two beam clamps to the beam bracket
Lay the leg assemblies (2) flat on the ground, and then slide the telescoping tubes (3) into the corresponding sleeves
of the leg assemblies. Insert the telescoping tubes (teletubes) until the 3
rd
pinhole in the teletubes aligns with the
pinhole in the leg assemblies as is depicted in Fig. 1A below. Both teletubes must be pinned to a leg assembly
through the same (3
rd
) pinhole. To pin each teletube to a leg assembly, use an adjustment pin with chain (see
exploded parts diagram that corresponds to your crane model).
