6. Assembly

The drywall lift is composed of 3 main parts:

o Tripod base assembly
o Vertical frame assembly
o Cradle assembly

Tripod base

 Mount the casters [3] in the tripod base.
 Place the base on its casters [3] and lower the backstop [6].
 Press and hold the ring of the yoke [4] down while unfolding the two outer legs [2], until the

yoke pin snaps into the locking hole near th e centre of the tripod.

Figure 1

Vertical frame

 Install the vertical frame [7] in the V-shaped angles on the tripod base. Make sure the frame is

pushed all the way down.

 Attach the handle [19] to the winch wheel [16].
 Move the winch assembly [10] into working position by holding the wheel [16] and brake

handle [18] as shown in figure 2. Push the brake handle all the way up while rotating the wheel
slightly forward, grab the winch arm and secure the brake handle with your thumb to prevent
backlash (figure 3).

 Make sure the retaining hook [15] on top of the frame is preventing the telescopic sections

[8][9] to move. Put your right hand on top of the vertical frame [7] and pull the assembly [10]

towards you while holding the brake lever.

 Rotate the lock [12] at the end of the slide bar [11] as far as possible clockwise when the winch

assembly is fully extended to secure the winch assembly position. Always check whether the
lock is engaged before lifting a load.

 Pull the retaining hook [15] away to allow the telescopic sections [8][9] to move freely.

Cradle assembly

 Attach the load cradle [20] on top of the vertical frame [7] by inserting the pin of the cradle

head [23] into the hole of the inner telescopic section [8]. Make sure that the tilt latch is
hooked over the protrusion to avoid accidental tilting of the cradle.

 Attach the crossbars [24] to the cradle [20] by sliding the tapered plates of the crossbars into

the tapered sockets of the cradle until the flat spring on the bottom of the crossbar snaps in
place. The two crossbars are identical.

 Slide the extendable arms [21] in the cradle, with the holes facing the pin locks [22] (see figure

4).

Figure 4

7. Operation

 First verify that the lift is not damaged (especially the cable) and that the brake drum [17] is

clean and dry. Make sure the lift is at room temperature.

 Lock the casters [3] of the lift and lower the backstop [6].
 Lower the cradle [20] by turning the winch wheel [16].
 Release the tilt latch and tilt the cradle [20].
 Position the hooks [25] to support the panel. Turn the cradle so the hooks are facing away from

the winch wheel [16].

 Extend the arms [21] as far as necessary to support the whole panel. The arms can be extended

in 3 positions. For safety reasons, the pin of the pin lock must always be secured in one of the
holes of the extendable arm. Do not use the lift when the pin locks are not secured.

 Place a panel on the hooks [25], finish side facing the crossbars [24]. Gently lower the panel

onto the crossbars and extension arms.

 For ceiling mounting, tilt the cradle horizontally and hook the tilt latch over the protrusion to

secure it. Note that there is still about 10° side-to-side slack. For sloped panel mounting, leave
the cradle unlatched.

 Unlock the casters [3] and raise the backstop [6]. Carefully roll the lift to where the panel needs

to be installed.

 For sloped or wall panel mounting, always lower the backstop [6] before lifting the panel.
 Turn the winch wheel [16] until the panel is at the desired height. Always check for overhead

obstructions when lifting a panel. Note that the brake is spring-operated, preventing the panel
from automatically lowering when releasing the winch wheel.

 To lower the panel, hold the winch wheel [16] and slowly release the brake handle [18].

Make sure the panel is sufficiently attached to the wall or ceiling before removing the



hoist.

8. Disassembly

 To disassemble the lift, lower the cradle [20] as far as possible, and slide the extension arms all

the way in.

 Remove the crossbars [21] by pushing on the flat springs and separating the tapered plates.
 Unlock the tilt latch and lift the cradle about 8cm to release it from the vertical frame.
 Hook the retaining hook [15] over the telescopic parts [8][9].
 Rotate the lock [12] at the end of the slide bar [11] counter clockwise and lift the slide bar

[11].

 Turn the winch wheel [16] until the winch assembly [10] is tight to the vertical frame [7].
 Gently pull the vertical frame [7] up while holding the tripod down.
 Press and hold the ring of the yoke [4] down while folding the two outer legs [2], until the yoke

pin snaps into the locking hole near the caster.

9. Maintenance/storage

 Keep the brake drum [17] clean and dry at all times. Check the drag on a regular basis to

ensure proper functioning of the hoist.

 Occasionally oil the cable pulleys. To access the inner pulleys, winch the lift up as far as possible.
 Occasionally oil the bearings of the casters.
 When operation becomes less smooth, apply some household paraffin to the sliding surfaces.
 Always store the hoist in a clean and dry area protected from harsh conditions.
