INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE:
Proper use, maintenance, and storage are essential for this product to function properly.
o Always use this product in accordance with the instructions in this manual and consistent with any training relevant
to machines, devices, etc. used in conjunction with this product.
o Relieve hydraulic pressure whenever the unit is not in use by fully lowering the forks.
o Keep the product clean & dry. Lubricate moving parts at least once per month.
ONLY use manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Vestil is not responsible for issues or malfunctions that result
o
from the use of unapproved replacement parts.
o Do not use brake fluid or jack oils in the hydraulic system. If oil is needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a
viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 cSt @ 40°C), or Dexron transmission fluid.
o Contact 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
Look for oil leaking from hoses, the cylinder, or the reservoir. See "Troubleshooting" (p. 15-16).
2. Battery: check the water level in the
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
(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

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.
