Rev. 3/28/2022 CBFC, MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright 2022 Vestil Manufacturing Co. Page 2 of 13 SIGNAL WORDS SIGNAL WORDS appear in this manual to draw the reader’s attention to important safety-related messages. The following are signal words used in this manual and their definitions. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products, but no manual can address every conceivable risk. Minimize the likelihood of injury by observing the hazards identified below and by inspecting and maintaining the product as instructed in INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE on p. 6. WARNING Risks of serious personal injuries or death. • Read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the crane. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance procedures whenever necessary. • DO NOT use the crane unless the required ballast is installed in the counterbalance box. Ballast specifications appear on your SPECIFICATIONS document. See page 4, 5, or 7. • DO NOT attempt to lift items that weigh more than the capacity of your crane. The capacity of the crane decreases as boom length increases. Capacities of each model for all 3 boom lengths are provided on your SPECIFICATIONS document as well as on labels 1157. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 12. • ONLY use the crane on even, level, compacted surfaces capable of supporting the combined weight of the crane and a full capacity load. DO NOT attempt to move the crane up or down sloped surfaces. • DO NOT stand or sit on either the crane or the load. Avoid contact with the casters. • Stand clear of the load while raising and lowering it. • DO NOT perform maintenance on this crane UNLESS it is unloaded and both caster brakes are applied. If the crane requires repair, ONLY install manufacturer-approved replacement parts. • DO NOT attempt to raise a load unless the load hook is centered above it. • ALWAYS observe the boom while raising or lowering a load.. Watch for binding or jerky movement. Listen for unusual noises. Tag the unit "Out of Service". Do not use it if you observe anything abnormal. • DO NOT use the crane unless it is in satisfactory condition. Inspect the unit before each use and as instructed in the INSPECTIONS section on p. 10-11 to determine whether it is in SATISFACTORY CONDITION. • Always watch the load carefully while raising and lowering the boom. • DO NOT continue to move the pump handle back-and-forth if the boom is fully elevated. • Before leaving the crane unattended, unload it and relieve hydraulic pressure by lowering the boom. • DO NOT alter the pressure relief valve setting! • DO NOT use the crane UNLESS every label is present and readable. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 12. • DO NOT modify this crane in any way. Modifications automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY and might make the crane unsafe to use. • Always make sure that the shackle pin is secure before applying a load to the load hook. Tighten the shackle pin before each use. See USING THE CRANE, diagrams on p. 9. • Failing to maintain, or repair, the crane could make the crane unsafe to use and result in serious personal injuries or death. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance and repairs.

Rev. 3/28/2022 CBFC, MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright 2022 Vestil Manufacturing Co. Page 9 of 13 OPERATING THE MANUAL HYDRAULIC PUMP This floor crane utilizes a hand-operated hydraulic pump to control the up and down movement of the boom and load hook. When the release lever is in the vertical home/closed position, moving the pump handle back-and-forth causes oil to fill the cylinder causing it to extend. The moving end of the cylinder attaches to the bottom of the outer boom. As the cylinder extends, the end of the boom and the load hook are elevated. Move the pump handle back-and-forth until the load hook is appropriately elevated for your task. To lower the boom, pivot the release lever away from the pump body until the end of the boom begins to descend. The farther the lever is pivoted, the faster the boom lowers. Lowering can be stopped at any time by pivoting the release lever back to the vertical home position. USING THE CRANE 1) Carefully push the floor crane to the load. Apply both caster brakes by pressing down on the brake levers. See diagram below. 2) Attach appropriate rigging to the load. Rigging will attach to the load hook at the end of the boom. 3) If necessary, adjust the position of the boom. a. Raise the boom by moving the pump handle back-and-forth. b. Lower the boom by slowly pivoting the release handle away from the pump body until the boom begins to lower. See below diagram and item no. 1.10 on p. 8. The lowering rate increases the farther the release lever is pivoted. Close the release valve when the boom position is adequately adjusted by pivoting the release handle back to the home position. 4) Attach the rigging to the load hook. The floor crane must be on a sound, level and dry surface. Before raising the boom, be sure that the load hook is centered above the load. If the hook is not centered above the load, the load might swing when the boom lifts it off of the ground. NOTE: Rigging and all other load-engaging equipment must be added to the weight of the load to determine the net weight of the load applied to the crane. The net weight must be less than or equal to the rated load of the crane. Rated load for each model of crane decreases when the boom is extended. Refer to your SPECIFICATIONS document (see page 4, 5, or 7); see also label 1153 in LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 12. 5) Slowly raise the load until it is suspended a few inches above the ground. Do not elevate the load any more than necessary. a. The load should not swing as it rises. b. The crane should not tip or rock when the load is suspended. c. If the crane is unstable when the load is suspended, do not use the crane to transport the load. Return it to the ground and use another means to move it. 6) Transport the load by carefully pushing the crane to the destination. Turn slowly and stop slowly to minimize load swing. Do not leave the crane with a suspended load. Always lower the boom until the load is entirely supported by the ground or other surface before leaving the crane.

Rev. 3/28/2022 CBFC, MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright 2022 Vestil Manufacturing Co. Page 10 of 13 RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION Before putting the crane into service, describe the appearance and functions of the crane in writing. Include observations about each part of the crane. Photograph the unit from multiple angles. Include close range photographs of pivot points and pins, the hydraulic system (cylinder, pump, hoses, and oil tank), hooks, shackles and shackle pins, casters, and caster brakes. Use the crane to lift a test weight. Raise and lower the boom. Include notes about how much force is required to move the pump handle back-and-forth, as well as sounds heard while the cylinder extends and retracts (boom elevates and lowers, respectively). Thoroughly photograph the unit and all labels applied to it. Collect all writings and photographs in a file. This file is a record of the crane in satisfactory condition. INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE WARNING Lower the boom and unload the crane BEFORE beginning maintenance/repairs. Apply both caster brakes. Only qualified, authorized personnel trained to maintain hydraulic components should attempt troubleshooting and repair of this equipment. Inspections and repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. Do not use the crane unless all parts are in satisfactory condition. Replace parts that are not in satisfactory condition before returning the unit to service. Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts to restore the unit to satisfactory condition. DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your lifter, contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual. (A) Before each use, inspect the following items: 1) Hydraulic system ─ Check all fittings, couplers, and the oil tank for oil leaks and other damage. Also check the hose for cuts, kinks, leaks, or other damage. 2) Frame elements, cylinder brackets (connection points of cylinder to the frame), & booms (inner and outer) ─ Examine each item for damage, deformation, and rust and corrosion. AIR PURGING PROCEDURE 1. Disconnect the cylinder from the crane by removing the cotter pins, clevis pins, and washers. Don’t disconnect the hose. 2. Lay the cylinder on a flat surface with the hose & hose fitting on top. 3. Loosen the hose fitting from the cylinder but do not disconnect the hose. Wrap a rag around the fitting. 4. Circulate oil to the cylinder by slowly moving the handle back and forth. Air and oil will sputter from the fitting. When no more air is present, tighten the fitting and reconnect the cylinder to the crane. BOOM LENGTH ADJUSTMENT To adjust the length of the boom, raise the boom until it is level. Remove the hitch pin and flat washer and then pull out the clevis pin. The inner boom is now unfastened from the outer boom. Align the appropriate holes in the inner and outer booms to achieve the necessary boom configuration and then re-pin them.

Rev. 3/28/2022 CBFC, MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright 2022 Vestil Manufacturing Co. Page 11 of 13 3) Cylinder and pump ─ Raise and lower the boom. Listen for unusual noise; watch the cylinder to confirm that it extends and retracts smoothly (does not bind). Check seals for leaks. 4) Load hook and shackle ─ Carefully examine the load hook, shackle, and shackle pin for significant wear, warps, bends or cracks. Make sure that the shackle pin is tight. Confirm that the safety latch (of the hook) operates correctly. Also inspect the shackle bracket. The bracket should be square and rigid and lack cracks and significant bends. The pin hole (for the shackle pin) should not be elongated. (B) Inspect the following at least ONCE PER MONTH: 1) Oil level ─ Lower the boom completely. Oil should be within ¾in. of the top of the reservoir with the boom in the fully lowered position. See YEARLY INSPECTION below for the hydraulic fluid specifications.] 2) Hoses ─ Check for cuts, kinks, and other damage. Confirm that the fittings at the ends of the hose are firmly connected to the pump and to the cylinder. 3) Hardware ─ Check the integrity of all nuts, bolts, and pins. Replace any item that is damaged. 4) Casters ─ Move the crane and determine whether any caster is loose, significantly worn, or damaged. Remove any material stuck to the surface of the casters. 5) Crane overall ─ Listen for unusual noises and watch for abnormal movement while elevating and lowering the boom. The frame should be square and rigid. Examine welds. Make sure all welds are intact and are free of rust and corrosion. 6) Labels ─ Check all information/safety labels. The crane should be labeled at all times as shown in the LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 12. (C) Yearly inspection In addition to BEFORE EACH USE and MONTHLY inspections, check the hydraulic fluid at least once per year. Change the oil if it darkens, becomes gritty, or turns a milky color (indicating the presence of water). Replace the hydraulic fluid with anti-wear hydraulic oil of viscosity grade 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 at 40°C), for example, AW 32 or HO 150 hydraulic oil, or a non-synthetic transmission fluid. You may use a synthetic transmission fluid if you flush the system with the synthetic fluid before filling the reservoir.

Page 13 of 13 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 (260) 665-1339 [email protected] 2999 North Wayne Street, PO Box 507 Phone Enter “Warranty service request” Angola, IN 46703 (260) 665-7586 in the subject field. In the written request, list the parts believed to be defective and include the address where replacements should be delivered.
