HORIZONTAL CEILING - SLOPING CEILING AND HORIZONTAL WALL SETTING
Open the feet as much as possible and insert
each removable pin in the 3rd hole of the
base frame.
Insert the arms in the
horizontal tubes, the
retractable pin must be
locked in the selected hole.
Turn the steering wheel while pushing the main brake lever to lift the board up to the ceiling.
Once the board loaded(*), position the EDMAPLAC® MEGA along the wall. Pull out the removable pin from the
top rack in order to angle the board completely, while pushing the EDMAPLAC® MEGA along the wall thanks to
the top rack handle. Lock the 2 wheel brakes. We advise to not exceed a loading weight of 32 kg (71 lbs) for
this setting.
(*)Always ensure that board is correctly centered on the panel lifter head.
Once the board loaded(*), pull the
top rack handle to put the board in
horizontal position.
Position the panel lifter with the
steering wheel in front of the wall
to lift the board along the wall.
(*)Always ensure that board is
correctly centered on the panel
lifter head.
Once the board loaded(*),
pull out the removable pin to
unlock the top rack, then pull
the handle to angle the board.
Insert the removable pin in the
sloping ceiling position hole (45°
position). The top rack position is

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
• Make sure all the parts are perfectly well assembled
• Make sure all the nuts are well tight and the removable pins are in position.
• Remove the dust from the gear as well as the rack and pinion.
• Make sure the retractable pins are well locked in their holes.
• Before each use, make a general operational checking.
• Make sure the cable is in good condition. Do not hesitate to change it as soon as the tiniest imperfection
is visible : crushing, pinching, wire breaking.
• Make sure the main brake is in good condition and well adjusted. Once the board lifted at the required
height, it has to stay in position when the safety brake is unlocked. If the top rack goes down, tighten the
main brake by turning the knurled nut clockwise direction.
General safety warnings
• This tool is exclusively dedicated to the plasterboard setting.
• The maximum loading weight is 80 kg (175 lbs). Do not exceed the maximum weight in order to avoid a premature wear.
• Do not use EDMAPLAC®MEGA as a freight elevator or person elevator.
• Do not grease or oil the rack and pinion as well as the gear.
• The top rack must be in low position while changing the feet position.
• Do not use the tool carrier wooden board as a working platform. Use a stepladder or a regulatory working platform to
screw the board onto the ceiling.
• Do not hinder the wheels while using. It may cause a failover of the device.
• Do not clutter up the working area in order to move the EDMAPLAC®MEGA easier.
• Do not put your hand through the steering wheel while the top rack is lowering. It may cause hand or nger injuries.
• Do not let children use the EDMAPLAC®MEGA.
• Do not erase the EDMAPLAC®MEGA warning markings.
• Any modications on the tool are not allowed.
• Once the board lifted at the required height, it has to stay in position when the safety brake is unlocked. If the board goes
down, tighten the main brake by turning the knurled nut clockwise direction. If the board is heavier than a standard board
(more than 25 kg), turn the knurled nut clockwise direction to increase the spring power. If the board still goes down even
with the knurled nut at its tightest, change the brake lining.
• Use the EDMAPLAC® MEGA on a rm and stable surface which can support the weight of the tool and plasterboard.
• Lock the 2 wheel brakes while lifting a board.
• The user has to ensure his own safety as well as the safety of the other people around the EDMAPLAC®MEGA.
• In order to avoid collision with the top rack during its descent, use the main brake to regulate the speed. In case of a main
brake default, release immediately the safety brake lever in order to stop the descent right away.
• Wearing a helmet : follow the current legislation
• Have the device checked regularly by a control agency (decree of 1st march 2004).
