Remember that the USER MANUAL is not an accessory of the SOLO GYPS drywall panel hoist but it is an inte-
gral part of it and a SAFETY MEASURE (EN 12100-1).
It has been designed in this form to let you easily find what you are looking for.
This is the reason why you have to keep it in good condition close to the device.
Remember that any update must be inserted in the manual itself as it will be indicated by Braviisol Divisione Mec-
canica srl.
The manual must not be damaged, it should remain intact (do not tear the sheets), kept away from moisture and
heat during the consultation should be avoided to get oil on it or deteriorate its readability.
To make the consultation easier, the manual has been divided into parts, so that, each step is well articulated.
For practicalness of use, each subject has been divided into numbered steps which, when the action requires it,
are written on the drawings themselves.
Parts that need more attention are highlighted with symbols and well-detailed illustrations on the side of the page.
In this way, BRAVISOL DIVIONE MECCANICA wants to draw – unequivocally- the operator’s attention to
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and HAZARDS concerning him.
