To avoid serious injury, use common sense and observe the following precautions when operating the Drywall Lift.

• Always read these instructions before operating and pay close attention to all warnings.
• Always inspect the unit carefully before each use, pay special attention to the condition of the cable.
• Always allow the lft to reach room temperature before use (bringing a cold unit into a warm room can cause condensation which may affect the operation of the winch brake).
• Always ensure that the brake drum is clean and dry before use.
• Never use the lft if one of the crossbar supports is not secured by its locking spring tab.
• Always keep the work area free of obstructions.
• Always wear a hard hat when operating this lft.
• Always watch for overhead obstructions when lifting the drywall panel.
• Never use the lft for any purpose other than lifting a drywall panel.

SPECIFICATIONS

MAIN PARTS

The Drywall Lift is shipped as several components that must be assembled before use:

• Tripod base assembly
• Frame assembly, which includes a winch assembly and standard (122 cm) telescoping lift sections
• Cradle assembly, without its detachable crossarms
• Two cradle crossarm assemblies

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set up the tripod base:
   • Set the base on the floor, resting on its casters.
   • Press down on the slide yoke ring. Hold the ring down while you swing the two forward legs out until the yoke ring snaps into the locking hole on the bottom of the slide tube. (See Figure 1)
   •Toprevent the tripod base from rolling backward during assembly, lower the backstop as shown.

2. Place the frame assembly onto the two “V” angles on the tripod base, and lower the frame about 1in. (2,54 cm) until it is secured by the angles. Before continuing, ensure that the frame is pushed all the way down and is held securely by the angles.

3. Attach the handle to the cradle (Figure 3):
   • Fix the metal handle bar with flat washer and nut M6.
   • Then screw the rubber handle to the bolt hole.
   

4. Attach the crossarms to the cradle:
   NOTE: The crossarms are interchangeable.
   • Slide the tapered plates on the crossarms into the tapered sockets on the cradl ane
   • Press each crossarm forward into the socket until the spring tab on the botto rossarm snaps into place. (Figuge 5)

OPERATING ELEMENTS

Slide Yoke Ring (figure 6)
Press down on the slide yoke ring to unlatch the two forward legs so they can be rotated out to the Lift’s working position or in to its storage position. A spring-loaded pin snaps into a hole on the bottom of the slide tube, to lock the folding legs position.
Backstop (figure 6)
Pivot the backstop down to prevent the base from rolling backward, or up to allow the unit to wheel freely.

Outriggers (figure 7)

The outriggers on the crossarms extend for supporting a longer drywall panel.

To extend an outrigger, pull out the lock pin with your right hand until you can slide the outrigger out with your left hand. The lock pin can engage to lock the outrigger at one of three positions: fully retracted; extended 21 in. (53,34 cm}; ar extended 33 in. (83,82 cm).

IMPORTANT: Never load a drywall panel or operate the Lift ifthe lock pins are not engaged at one of these three positions, or if the outriggers are extended beyond the 33 in. (83,82 cm) position.

To avoid damaging them, always fully retract the outriggers before transporting or storing the lift. To avoid damaging them, always fully retract the outriggers before transporting or storing the lift.
Panel Support Hooks (figure 8)

Open the support hook on each crossarm to support the drywall panel when it is being loaded, or when the cradle is tilted. To avoid damaging them, always close the support hooks before transporting or storing the lift.

Tilt Latch (figure 9)

To allow the cradle to tilt (for loading a dry wall panel, or for raising the panel to a side wall or sloped ceiling); or to remove the cradle from the frame, pivot the tilt latch out and down. Ta lock the cradle onto the frame without tilting, pivot the latch up to engage the stud on the cradle.

NOTE: When it is in the level (non-tilted) position, the cradle will also tilt up to 10° side-to-side.
Retaining Hook (figure 10)
The retaining hook secures the telescoping sections inside the frame, for transport and storage.

OPERATION

Safety Check Before Operation
Before using the lift

• Carefully inspect the unit for wear or damage. Pay particular attention to the cable.
• Ensure that the lift is at room temperature before use.
• Ensure that the winch brake drum is clean and dry before use.

Loading a Drywall Panel

1. Set (lower) the backstop, so the lift won’t roll backward.
2.  Swing open the panel support hooks on the two crossarms. Ensure that the cradle is turned so the support hooks are on the opposite side from the winch wheel.
3.  Extend the crossarm outriggers on the cradle as needed to fully support the length of the drywall panel.
4. Release the tilt latch to tilt the cradle.
5. Hold the drywall panel with its face paper toward the tilted cradle, and load the panel onto the lift as shown. Set the panel onto the support hooks, and carefully lean it against the crossarms.
6. If installing the panel on a flat ceiling, tilt the cradle back up to its level position and lock the tilt latch. If installing the panel on a side wall or a sloped ceiling, leave the cradle tilted. Raise the backstop on the base, and carefully roll the lift close to the position where the panel will be installed.

Operating Procedure
Raising a Drywall Panel
IMPORTANT: Always lower the backstop before lifting the panel to a sloped ceiling or a side wall.
Crank the winch wheel in the direction shown (hold the post for leverage} until the panel is at the desired height.
The brake is spring-loaded to automatically hold the cradle at the selected height when you stop cranking.

Lowering the Panel

1. Grasp the wheel handle with your right hand to stap the winch from turning forward.

2. Retain your hold on the winch handle. Carefully release the brake with your left hand and slowly rotate the wheel backward to lower the cradle to the desired height.
   Disassembly and Storage

3. Always store the lift in a dry, protected area.

Disassembly
To disassemble the Drywall Lift for transport or compact storage:

1. Crank the cradle all the way down.
2. Slide the cradle outriggers all the way in until they latch. Close the panel support hooks.
3.  Remove the crossarms by pressing the spring tab on the bottom and sliding the crossarm out of the tapered socket.
4. Carefully lift the frame/winch about 2,54 cm to free it from the tripod base. To fold the base, press down on the slide yoke ring and pivot the forward legs in until they lock in the closed position.

Maintenance

• Inspect the cable before use. Replace it at the first sign of wear.
• Occasionally oil the cable pulleys. Raise the telescoping sections for access to the internal cable pulley. Never allow ol 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.
