PLEASE BE ADVISED: Before assembling the Panel Lifter for the first time, it is highly recommended
that Installers familiarise themselves with the component parts and carry out a test assembly and
disassembly in a safe area away from the point of final installation. All component parts detailed in the
operating instructions must be used in the assembly of the system. Should a piece be missing or
appear defective do not continue to assemble and contact Easi-Dec Immediately.
Step1 Step 2
Before adjusting for height, unlock the Clutch and release the
spare rope. This will allow the rope to feed through the clutch as
you extend the ladder.
Position the ladder with the stand-off above and central to the
window in order to allow sufficient room for the screen. Where
the soffit board is immediately above the window the stand-off
may be rested against the facia board or onto the roof.
Remember to follow the 4:1 ladder rule for the correct angle
against the wall.
Step 3 Step 4
When the ladder is correctly positioned, the bottom stabilisers
should be positioned. Loosen the black knob and slide the
stabiliser up the ladder stile.
Release the locking pin and rotate the stabiliser towards the
ground, the locking pin will engage when it is set at the correct
angle.
Step 5 Step 6
FIG1. Positioning
Allow the stabiliser to slide down the ladder stile until the foot is
in contact with the ground. Tighten the knob firmly by hand, it
does not have to be over tightened.
Attach the clip to the screen. The ‘pin’ should be positioned
centrally about one third down from the top of the screen. FIG 1.
Push the pin through the hole until the plate is flat against the
screen. Slide the top section of the clip down, in and up to lock
the clip in place.

Step 7 Step 8
Lock the clutch before attempting to lift the screen
Pull the rope down vertically whilst standing away from the wall.
The clutch will prevent the screen descending.
Step 9 Step 10
Raise the screen to sill level.
Ascend the ladder and push the screen over the window to allow
a second person inside the building to secure the wire ties.
Release the clip.
Step 1 (Lowering) Step 2 (Lowering)
Erect the ladder as described above.
Raise the clip, by pulling on the rope, to about halfway up the
screen. Lock the clutch. Fit the clip to the screen about one third
down from the top as described on above. Descend from the
ladder; take up the slack in the rope.
When the screen is released from inside the building it will hang
clear of the wall ready to be lowered to the ground. Hold the rope
in one hand and take the strain. Gradually release the clutch
lever, this may be used to control the descent of the screen.
Alternatively, fully release the lever and feed the rope hand over
hand to lower the screen.

STORAGE
To close the Panel Lifter for storage you must first fold back the
bottom stabilisers. Ensure they are positioned against the lower
stop to allow the ladder to be fully closed.Lower the ladder
sections until fully closed.Pull excess rope through the clutch and
lock the clutch leaving the clip at the top of the ladder, this will
help to keep the rope free of tangle during storage.Coil up the
excess rope and store on the ladder stile in the strap provided.
Never allow the rope to slide through your hands, it will burn you!
