Product Manual

Rev. 9/9/2021 JIB-FM, MANUAL

Safe Use Recommendations:

Study the entire manual before using this crane. We recommend that a copy of the manual be stored on/attached to

the crane at all times. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of the safe operation, inspection or

maintenance procedures whenever necessary.

DO not install or use the crane in areas where it will contact electrified wires. Electrocution might occur

if the crane, hoist, or load, etc. contacts electrified wires.

Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries.

x ALWAYS apply operation, inspection, and maintenance recommendations in 29 CFR 1910.179. Contact the

occupational safety and health institution of the state where the crane is used for requirements applied to jib cranes.

x DO NOT use a damaged or malfunctioning jib! Restore the crane to normal operating condition before returning it to

service.

x DO NOT exceed the capacity of your jib (see “Jib specifications” table on p. 2). The weights of the load, hoist,

trolley, rigging, and all other equipment attached to the jib must be added together to determine the net weight applied

to the jib. The net weight must never exceed the capacity.

x Always perform the “Function Tests” (p. 8) before each use.

x Inform all persons in the area that you are going to use the crane. Instruct them to stay out of the area during

operation.

x NO ONE should ever stand beneath or travel under the crane when a load is suspended from it.

x DO NOT use the jib to lift/support people.

x ALWAYS load the jib as recommended on p. 8. Failure to properly position a load might cause the load to swing

when it is lifted. Load swing might result in serious injury.

x DO NOT use the crane if any label is unreadable, damaged, or missing (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 10). Contact

Vestil for replacement labels.

x DO NOT modify the crane! Modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p. 11) and might make the

crane unsafe to use.
