To load a drywall panel
1.
Set (lower) the backstop so the lift will not roll backwards (see "Backstop" above).
2.
Swing open the panel support hooks on the two crossarms. Be sure 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 (see "Outriggers" above).
4.
Release the tilt latch to tilt the cradle (see "Tilt Latch" above).
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.
7.
Raise the backstop on the base and carefully roll the lift close to the position where
the panel will be installed.
