    BEFOREHAND. Boom operators should have access to the manual at all times and should review the directions before each use. Contact Vestil for answers to any question you have after reading the entire manual.
  • Page 3: Safety Recommendations

    Vestil is not liable for any injury or property damage that occurs as a consequence of failing to apply either: 1) the instructions that appear in this manual; or 2) the information disclosed on labels affixed to the product. Furthermore, failure to exercise good judgment and common sense may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death, and also are not the responsibility of Vestil.
  • Page 4: Standard Design Elements

    LM-series fork-mountable booms 01/11  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.

    [LM-OBT-4k, 6k & 8k Models] Adjust the pitch of the boom as required by the size/shape of the intended load. To safely perform the adjustment process requires at least 2 people: Page 22 of 27 Copyright 2013 Vestil Manufacturing Corp.
  • Page 23: Fig. 8 [Obt Models] Step 4 - Boom Angle Adjustment

    DO NOT connect a load to only 1 hook, if the load is likely to rotate during lifting and/or transport operations. A load should connect to both hooks simultaneously: Attaching load to both hooks limits load rotation Single-hook (circled) load likely to rotate Load Load (continued from p. 19) Page 23 of 27 Copyright 2013 Vestil Manufacturing Corp.
  • Page 24 NOTE: Users of OBT and OBNT model booms should return the boom to the fully lowered (horizontal) position by reversing Step 4 on p. 23 BEFORE backing out of the fork pockets. Page 24 of 27 Copyright 2013 Vestil Manufacturing Corp.
  • Page 25: Inspections & Maintenance

    Perform all of the applicable “Frequent inspection” steps and carefully examine the boom for any the problems that appear below () to determine whether they constitute a safety hazard:  Deformed, cracked, or corroded members. Page 25 of 27 Copyright 2013 Vestil Manufacturing Corp.
  • Page 26 A “modification” is a change that alters the boom from normal operating condition, like bending the structural members or removing a part or several parts. NEVER modify the boom without the express, written approval of Vestil. Modifications may render the device unsafe to use. Step 5: Make a dated record of any repairs, adjustments and/or replacements.
