4. Horizontal fixing (or on ceiling)
For horizontal fixing, the operator must make sure that the beam is indeed in the
position shown on the view H1 . Otherwise, unlock the bottom of the beam in order
to pivot it a quarter of a turn and then lock the beam in this new position.
Operate the lever situated on the operating handle in order to tilt the beam. H2
Verify that the feet situated at the front of the device are correctly adjusted for
horizontal fixing, making sure that the Clip & Go locks are in position 1. H3 H4
Now, load the plasterboard onto the arms, with the latter in the tilted position.
Bring the beam and the plasterboard back in the horizontal position, using the
operating handle, and raise the columns so as to put the plasterboard in place.
For horizontal fixing (or fixing on ceiling) and after bringing the assembly back in the
horizontal position, it is possible to unlock the beam so as to make it possible for the
latter to pivot over approx. 90° around its tilting axis.
This tilting of the beam enables the operator to adjust the positioning of the
plasterboard at the ceiling.
5. Fixing under pitches
To fix boards under pitches, unlock the beam's base so as to pivot it a quarter of a
turn and then lock the beam in this new position. I1
Operate the lever situated on the operating handle so as to tilt the beam.
Verify that the feet situated at the front of the device are correctly adjusted for fixing
under pitches, making sure that the Clip & Go locks are, indeed, in position 2,
otherwise adjust the feet.
Turn the arm extension ref. PR0429 (see diagram part) so that the metal stops are
placed upwards to receive the plate.
Now, load the plasterboard onto the arms, with the latter in the tilted position.
Raise the columns so as to bring the plasterboard's top in contact with the
"paddings" and then continue rotating the winch's handle until the plasterboard is in
its final position under the "paddings" and fix the handle.
6. Vertical fixing (or on partition)
To fix boards vertically (or on partition), adjust the beam in the same way as for
fixing under pitches. J1
Operate the lever situated on the operating handle so as to tilt the beam.

Adjust the two feet situated at the front of the device, introducing the Clip & Go
locks in position 2.
Rotate the arm extension, ref. PR0429 (see diagram part), so that the metal stops
are upwards and can receive the plasterboard.
Now, load the plasterboard onto the arms, with the latter in the tilted position.
After moving the device close to the uprights on which the plasterboard will be
positioned, the operator shall operate the lever situated on the operating handle so
as to release the lock from its location and thus make it possible for the beam and
the plasterboard to tilt into the vertical position for positioning on the uprights.
Continue rotating the winch's handle so as to bring the plasterboard's top in contact
with the ceiling. Immobilize the LEVPANO® by operating the wheel brakes and then
fix the plasterboard on the uprights.
Provide for sufficient space between the bottom of the plasterboard and the floor in
order to release the metal stops from the arm after fixing the plasterboard.
7. Using the platforms of the LEVPANO® I
As specified in paragraph 1, the platforms supplied with the LEVPANO® I can be
used to fit plasterboard panels in order to fix them on ceiling or under pitches.

D. PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING THE TWO CABLES
Material required :
One 8 mm open-ended spanner One 10 mm open-ended spanner
Pliers Circlip pliers
One end-fitting cable spare kit ref. PR 0012 comprising : 2 universal
cables and 1 spring.
1. Removing the safety and traction cables
a) In the working position, remove the head, beam and arm
assembly from the head extension tube after removing the pin
situated at the bottom of the head.
b) Unwind the winch’s 2 cables completely (pull on them). The 2
cables are fixed on the winch’s reel by means of 2 cable clamps.
Remove the 2 cable clamps on the outside of the reel then, using
the 8 and 10 mm open-ended spanners, unscrew the 2 cable
clamps. The 2 cables are thus released.
c) Undo the M8 lock nut and remove the M8 x 65 hex. head screw
in order to remove the top collar from the intermediate column
and to release the frame columns.
d) Take out the inner column ref. 1 and intermediate column ref. 2
assembly (with the cables). Position this assembly horizontally on
2 trestles (see drawing page 21).
e) Separate the inner column ref. 1 from the intermediate column
ref.2 (see drawing N1).
f) Remove the worn traction cable from the cable hooking support.
Replace the latter with the new cable (see sketch, M1 )
g) Using pliers, move the spring’s loop away so as to disengage the
spring from the column. Replace the worn safety cable with the
new cable, fixing one of the loops of the new spring to the cable’s
loop. Fix the other loop of the spring to the column (see sketch,
M2)
2. Refitting the cables
a) Before refitting the columns in the frame, item 3 N1 N2, remove
the pulleys from the frame, removing the circlip situated at the end
of the pin, so as to make insertion of the cables easier.
b) Slide the inner column with the cables into the intermediate
column, item 2, then insert the safety and traction cables onto the
upper pulleys, then onto the lower pulleys of the intermediate
column, see drawing, N1 N2
c) Refit the columns assembly in the LEVPANO, taking care not to
trap the cables. Insert the 2 cables into the housing of the 2
pulleys removed from the frame, item 3.
d) Refit the pulleys and their pin, making sure that the cables do not
overlap, then fit the circlip.
e) Refit the intermediate column's top collar and fix it with the screw
and the nut.
f) Refit the 2 cables on the winch’s reels, taking care not to cross them,
manually pull the 2 cables and fix the cable clamps on their
respective cable, making sure they are at the same level to each
other, as show on sketch M2. Using the crank handle, wind the
cables onto the winch.
g) Refit the head, beam and arm assembly onto the head extension
tube and immobilize the whole by means of the pin situated at the
bottom of the head, then perform a few up and down movement
tests (with no load).
