Page 3: Safety And Warnings
SAFETY & WARNINGS Important precautions WARNING: To protect against serious injury, use common sense and observe the following precautions when operating the drywall lift. • Read and understand these instructions before operating and pay close attention to all warnings. • Always inspect the unit carefully before each use, paying special attention to the condition of the cable. - Page 4 OVERVIEW • The drywall lift allows one person to lift a drywall panel that is up to 122 x 487cm in size without assistance. The panel can be raised to a maximum height of 335cm for attachment to level ceilings, or (with the lift's cradle tilted) to sloped ceilings or sidewalls.
- Page 5 Assembly Procedure 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 back place into the locking hole on the bottom of the slide tube (see Figure 1).
- Page 6 Attach the handle to the winch wheel. Tighten the nut and then back it off slightly so the handle turns freely. Move the winch assembly into its working position: Hold the winch wheel and brake arm as shown in Figure 2. Rotate the winch wheel forward slightly while you lift and release the brake arm.
- Page 7 Place one hand on top of the frame. Continue to grip the brake arm to prevent cable backlash and pull the winch assembly toward you (see Figure 4 below). Continue to grip break Retaining hook When the winch is fully extended (away from the frame housing), release the brake arm and swing the retaining hook away so it no longer secures the telescoping sections inside the frame housing.
- Page 8 Attach the cradle to the frame (Figure 6). Snap latch upward Stud Insert the cradle’s post into the opening on top of the frame. Secure the cradle to the frame by snapping the tilt latch upward so it hooks over the stud on the cradle. Attach the crossarms to the cradle (the crossarms are interchangeable): Slide the tapered plates on the crossarms into the tapered sockets on the cradle (Figure 7).
- Page 9 Disassembly To disassemble the drywall lift for transport or compact storage; Crank the cradle down. Press spring tab to release crossarm Slide the cradle outriggers in until they latch. Close the panel support hooks. Remove the crossarms by pressing the spring tab on the bottom and sliding the crossarm out of the tapered socket.
- Page 10 Unlock the winch assembly by lifting the slide bar with your left hand while you rotate the slide bar lock counter-clockwise with your right hand. Hold the slide bar lock in this disengaged position (step 6). Press down on the telescoping sections in the frame with your left hand.

Page 11: Operation
OPERATION Slide yoke ring 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 into its storage position. A spring-loaded pin snaps into a hole on the bottom of the slide tube to lock the folding legs position. - Page 12 Outriggers 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 53cm or extended 87cm.
- Page 13 Panel support hooks 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.
- Page 14 Tilt latch To allow the cradle to tilt (for loading a drywall panel or 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. To lock the cradle onto the frame without tilting, pivot the latch up to engage the stud on the cradle.

Extend the crossarm outriggers on the cradle as needed to fully support the length of the drywall panel (see “Outriggers”...
- Page 18 To raise the panel WARNING: Always lower the backstop before raising the panel to a sloped ceiling or a sidewall. Crank the winch wheel in the direction shown (holding 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.
- Page 19 To lower the panel Grasp the wheel handle with your right hand so you can restrain the backward rotation of the winch. Retain your hold on the winch handle. Carefully release the brake with your left hand and slowly rotate the wheel back to lower the cradle to the desired height. Disassembly and storage Always store the lift in a dry protected area.
