Page 4 of 27

 DO NOT use the boom if any product label (see p. 24) is unreadable, damaged, or absent. Contact Vestil to order a

replacement label(s).

 ALWAYS apply proper (fork) lift operation practices learned during your training program. Before raising the boom from

the floor AND before attaching the load to the boom, tilt the fork lift mast away from the boom to ensure that the boom

will not slide towards the tips of the forks.

 ALWAYS load the boom according to the instructions that appear on p. 20-21. Failure to properly position a load might

cause the load to swing, which might result in the operator(s) or other persons sustaining serious personal injuries.
