Introduction

The drywall hoist allows one person to lift a drywall panel that isup to 1.22m (4') x 4.88m (16') in

size without assistance.

The panel can be raised to a maximum height of 4.8m (16') or 3.35m (11') depending on model,

for attachment to level ceilings or (with the cradle tilted) to sloped ceiling or side walls.

The cradle lowers to1.8m (6') or 1.2m (4') depending on model, and can support up to 68kg

(150lb).

These instructions explain how to assemble the hoist and to operate it. We urge you to read the

important precautions and the operation sections before using the equipment.

Safety

WARNING

To protect yourself against serious injury, use common sense and observe the following

precautions when operating the equipment.

•Read and fully understand these instructions before operating the equipment. Pay close

attention to all warnings.

•Always inspect the equipment carefully before each use (pay special attention to the

condition of the cable).

•Always allow the equipment to reach working room temperature before using it (moving a

cold unit into a warm room can cause condensation, which could affect the operation of the

winch brake).

•Always ensure that the brake drum isclean and dry before operating.

•Never use the lift ifeither cross arm support isnot secured by its locking spring tab.

•Always wear a hard hat when operating the equipment.Always watch out for overhead

obstructions when lifting.

•Never use the lift for any purpose other than it is designed for.

•Never lift more than one sheet of drywall at a time. Never lift more than 68kg (150lb).

Assembly Procedure

1. Set up the tripod base and casters:

a. Set the tripod base on the floor.

b. Press down the slide yoke ring. Hold it down while you swing the two outer legs out until

the yoke rings snap into the locking hole on the bottom of the slide tube (Fig 2).

c. For 16' models, insert the casters into the holes on the ends of the caster sets (Fig 3).

d. For 16' models, attach the caster sets to the tripod and secure using the bolts and nuts.

Ensure that the caster set is placed so that the “U” bracket will sit over the tripod leg when

rotated (Fig 3). Firmly tighten the fasteners.

e. If required, to prevent the tripod base from rolling during assembly, lower the backstop

(Fig 3).

2. Set up the frame assembly:

Lower the frame onto the tripod assembly. Ensure

that the two “V” angles on the tripod base mate with

the "V" slots in the frame.Before continuing, ensure

that the frame is pushed all the way down and is held

securely by the "V" angles (Fig 4).

3. Attach the handle:

Attach the handle to the winch wheel. Tighten the bolt.

4. Move the winch assembly into its working position:

a. Hold the winch wheel and brake arm as shown. Rotate the winch wheel forward slightly

while you lift the brake arm to release the brake (Fig 5).

b. Raise the brake arm allthe way up.Rotate the winch wheel towardsit to release the

cable fully (Fig 6).

c. Hold the winch assembly and pull itaway from the frame (Fig 7).

d. When the winch is extended, release the brake arm and turn the retaining hook awayso

that it no longer secures the telescoping sections inside the frame housing (Fig 8).

e. Push the winch assembly backtoward the frame slightly.This automatically engages the

slide bar lock to keep the winch fully extended.

f. Rotate the slide bar lock clockwise into the hole (Fig 9).

IMPORTANT: before continuing be sure that the slide bar lock is fully engaged – that is, rotated

clockwise as far as possible.

WARNING

To avoid injury, the slide bar lock must be fully engaged if the winch

assembly is extended asshown inFig 9.

5. Attach the cradle to the frame:

a. Insert the cradle postinto the hole at the top of the frame.

b. Secure the cradle to the frame by snapping the tilt latch upward so it hooksover the stud

on the cradle (Fig 10).

6. Attach the cross arms to the cradle:

a. Slide the tapered plates on the cross arms into the tapered socket on the cradle.

b. Press each cross arm forward to the socket until the spring tab on the bottom of the cross

arm snaps into place (Fig 11).

7. Attach the outriggers to the cross arm:

Pull the lock pin out and hold it, then push the outrigger into the cradle. Push the lock pin into

ahole in the outrigger to fasten it (Fig 12).

Operator Controls

1. Slide Yoke Ring

Press down on the slide yoke ring to unlatch the tripod base legs so that they can be rotated to

either the extended working position or the folded storage position. A spring-loaded pin snaps

into a hole on the bottom of the slide tube to lock the outer legs in position (Fig 13).

2. Backstop

If required, pivot the backstop down to prevent the base from rolling backward or upward to

allow the unit to roll freely (Fig 13).

3. Caster Set Bracket and Caster Lock

For 16' models, rotate the caster set "U" brackets over the tripod legs to prevent the caster sets

swivelling (Fig 14).For 11' and 16' models, to prevent the equipment from rolling, set the caster

brakes to the "ON" position.

4. Outriggers

The outriggers on the cross armsextend for supporting a longer drywall panel.

To extend an outrigger, pull out the lock pin until you can slide the outrigger out (Fig 15). The

lock pin can be secured to lock the outrigger at one of three positions: fully retracted,

extended approximately 530mm (21"),or extended approximately 830mm (33").

To avoid damaging the outriggers, always fully retract thembefore transporting or storing the

lift.

WARNING

Never load a drywall panel oroperate the lift if the lock pins are not secured at one

of the three positions or if the outriggers are extended beyond the 830mm (33")

position.

5. Panel Support Hooks

Open the support hook on each cross arm to support the drywall panel whenitisbeing loaded

or when the cradle istilted (Fig 16).

To avoid damaging the support hooks, always close thembefore transporting or storing the lift.

6. Tilt Latch

To allow the cradle to tilt (for loading a panel,or for raising apanel to a side wall or sloped

ceiling) or to remove the cradle from the frame, pivot the latch up to engage the stud on the

cradle (Fig 17).

NOTE:When the cradle isin the level (non-tilted) position, it will also tilt up to 10° side-by-side.

7. Retaining Hook

The retaining hook secures the telescoping sections inside the frame for transport and

storage (Fig 17).

8. Brake Arm

Aspring-loaded brake holds the cradle at whatever height you raise it by cranking the winch

wheel.

To lower the cradle, control the backward rotation of the winch by grasping the wheel handle

as you carefully raise the brake arm to release the brake (Fig 18).

9. Winch Wheel, Handle and Post

Cranking the winch (using the wheel handle) coils or uncoils the cable that raises or lowers

the cradle. Grasp the frame for leverage when cranking the winch.

10. Slide Bar Lock

The slide bar holds the winch assembly at its operating (fully extended) position.

To fold the winch assembly against the frame (when disassembling the unit for transport or

storage), disengage the lock by turning it counter-clockwise as you lift the slide bar. When

you setting up the unit for operation, extend the winch assembly allthe way and then

moving it backslightly toward the frame to automatically engage the lock (Fig 19).

Never tighten the nut on the slide bar lock or you will be unable to fold up the unit for

transport and/or storage.
