Introduction

• Thank you for choosing to purchase this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury, we ask you to always take some basic safety precautions when using this product. Please read this operating manual carefully and make sure that you understand it.
• Keep these operation instructions in a safe place.

Proper use

• The drywall lift allows one person to lift a drywall panel that is up to 122×488 cm (4×16 ft) in size without assistance. The panel can be raised to a maximum height of 350 cm (11 ft) for attachment to level ceilings-or (with the cradle of the lift tilted) to sloped ceilings or side walls. For higher ceilings, an extension kit is available, with which the maximum lifting height can be in-creased to 400 cm.
• The cradle of the lift lowers to 86.4 cm (34 in) off the floor for easy panel loading, and can support up to 75 kg (150 lbs).
• This manual explains the assembly, use, and disassembly of the dry wall lift after use for safe transport and simple storage. We strongly recommend our clients to obey the instructions and information for use before using the drywall lift.

Important instructions

ATTENTION!
To protect yourself against serious injury, use common sense and observe the following precautions when operating the dry-wall lift.

• ALWAYS:
  • read the instructions before use and make sure to respect all warnings.
  • check the lift before daily use, especially the cable.
  • assimilate the lift to the room temperature before beginning to work (movement from a cold to a warm room may cause condensations that can impair the effect of the brake).
  • make sure that the brake drum is clean and dry before using the lift.
  • keep the work area free of obstacles.
  • wear a hard hat when working with the lift.
  • pay attention for hanging obstacles when lifting a panel.
• NEVER:
  • use the lift in case the traverse fixation is not secured with its fastening springs.
  • use the lift for any objects but drywall panels.
  • lift more than one panel at the same time.
  • lift more than 75 kg (150 lbs).

Structure

Main components
The drywall lift is shipped as several components that must be assembled before use:

• Frame assembly
• frame assembly, including a winch assembly and standard (120 cm or 4-ft) telescoping lift sec-tions
• cradle assembly, without its detachable crossarms
• two cradle crossarm assemblies

Assembly

1. Setting up the base

2. Place the base on the floor, resting on its rollers.

3. Fold the base up entirely and attach it to two legs with one hook each (see Fig. 1).

4. To prevent the frame frome rolling backwards during assembly, block the rollers with the help of the brakes as shown (see Fig. 2).

5. Attaching the support to the frame (see Figg. 3 and 4)

6. Insert the guide plate into the opening of the upper frame.

7. Adapt the direction of the support with the help of the handle of the block valve.

8. Attaching the arm and the cross bar to the holder (see Figg. 5 and 6)
   Note! The cross bars are interchangeable, the arms have two supporting points on either side. One side is for the hook, the other side is the supporting point. For use, choose the appropriate side.

9. Place the cross bar on the holder. To fix the cross bar, two D pins are inserted in the holes of both side of the cross bar and the holder.

10. To mount an arm, pull out the pin with one hand until you can insert the arm with the other hand.

11. Last step
    Attach two foot plates to the bar so that one person can stand on it (see Fig. 7).

Operational components

Lifting arm

• The arms on the holder can be extended to support a longer dry-wall panel.
• To extend an arm, pull out the pin with one hand until you can extend the arm with the other. The pin can be clicked into place to block the arm in one of three positions: completey retracted, extended to 53 cm (21″), or extended to 83 cm (33″).

Attention! Never load a dry-wall panel or apply the lever when the pin has not clicked in one of the three position or when the arm has been extended more than 83 cm. To avoid any damage, always retract the arm completely before transporting or storing the dry-wall lifter.

• Load hook for panels
  A supporting point and hook is found on both sides of the lifter. Choose a suitable side to support the panel when loading it or tilting the holder (see Fig. 9). To avoid any damage, the load hooks must always be closed before transporting or storing the device.

• Locking the double winch

  • By turning the handle clockwise, the lifter is extended to the height needed (max. height 3.5–4 m). By turning the handle counterclockwise, the lifter is lowered to the min. height of 1.45 m).
  • The winches are locked automatically when lifting or lowering the device.

• Base guide plate

  • To tilt the holder (to load a dry-wall panel or to lift the panel to a side wall or a sloped ceiling) or to remove the holder from its frame, swing the tilting latch outwards and downwards. To fix the holder to its frame, turn the latch upwards to lock the bolt at the holder.
  • Note! Adjusted to the horizontal (non tilted) position, the holder can be swung to the side up to 10°.

Operating instructions

• To raise the panel
  Important! Always lower the backstop before raising the panel to a sloped ceiling or a side wall.

  • Crank the winch wheel in the direction shown until the panel is at the desired height. Hold the post with the other hand.
  • The brake is spring-loaded to automatically hold the cradle at the selected height when you stop cranking.

• To lower the panel
  Grasp the wheel handle with your right hand so you can restrain the backward rotation of the winch.

• Disassembly and storage
  Always store the lift in a dry, protected area.

Disassembly

Disassemble the lifter for transport or compact storing as follows:

1. Take off the foot plates to place them in the box.
2. Crank the lifter to its min. height.
3. Remove the cross bars by pulling out the pin and by extracting them out of the narrowing sup-port.
4. Remove the holder and the base guide plate.
5. Remove the hooks from the base group and fold the frame together.
6. Place all parts in a box one by one.

Maintenance

• Inspect the cable before each work day. Replace it at the first sign of wear (refer to the instructions supplied with the replacement cable)!
• Occasionally oil the cable pulleys. Crank up the telescoping sections for access to the internal cable pulley. Never allow oil or grease to contact the surface of the winch brake drum.
• Occasionally oil the caster bearings.
• If the telescoping sections of the frame do not operate smoothly, apply household paraffin to the sliding surfaces.
