OPERATING CONTROLS
ADJUSTING OUTRIGGERS
The outriggers (A) Fig.8 at both ends of the cradle (B) extend for supporting
longer drywall panels. To extend the outriggers;
1) Pull out the lock pin (C) until you can slide the outrigger (A) out.
2) The lock pin can engage to lock the outrigger at one of three positions: fully
retracted; extended at 21"; or extended at 33".
WARNING! Never load a drywall panel or operate the drywall lift if the lock pins
are not engaged at one of these positions, or if the outriggers are extended
beyond the 33" position.
To avoid damage, always retract the outriggers before transporting or storing the
FIGURE 8
drywall lift.
PANEL SUPPORT HOOKS
Open the support hook (A) Fig.9 on each crossarm (B) to support the drywall
panel when it is being loaded, or when the cradle is tilted.
To avoid damage, always retract the support hooks before transporting or
storing the drywall lift.
FIGURE 9
CRADLE TILT LATCH
To allow the cradle (A) Fig.10 to tilt (for loading a drywall 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 (B) out and down as shown. To lock the cradle in position, pivot
the latch upwards to engage the stud (C) on the cradle.
NOTE: When the cradle is in the level (non-tilted) position, the cradle will also tilt
up to 10º side-to-side.
BRAKE ARM
A spring loaded brake arm (A) Fig.11 holds the cradle at whatever height you
raise it by cranking the winch wheel (B). To lower the cradle, control the
backward rotation of the winch by grasping the winch wheel handle (C) and
FIGURE 10
carefully raise the brake arm to release the brake. To lock the winch in position,
lower the brake arm.
WINCH WHEEL, HANDLE AND POST
Cranking the winch using the winch handle (C) Fig.11 coils or uncoils the cable
that raises or lowers the telescopic posts and the cradle. Grasp the post (D) for
leverage when cranking the winch.
