150-Lb. Drywall and Panel Hois

OWNER’S MANUAL

•  Use the right tool for the job. DO NOT attempt to force small equipment to do the work of larger 

industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which this equipment was designed. This 

product will be safer and do a better job at the capacity for which it was intended. DO NOT use 

this equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended.

•  Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

WARNING:

WORK AREA SAFETY

•  Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. 

Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work 

areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.

•  Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the 

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may 

ignite the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

•  Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not 

insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.

•  Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow 

children to handle the product. 

•  Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in 

your work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause 

personal injury and/or property damage if contacted.

PERSONAL SAFETY

•  Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do 

not use the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A 

moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.

•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be 

caught in moving parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be 

avoided.

•  Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant 

safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a 

dust mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust 

collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in 

the work area. 

•  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•  Remove keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to an air supply, power supply, or 

turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may 

cause personal injury.

•  Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety 

precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands. 

CAUTION:

HOIST USE AND CARE

•  Do not force the hoist. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for which 

they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.

•  Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly 

and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate 

the product with a damaged part.

•  Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with 

the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative 

before using.

•  Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off 

position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such 

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

•  Store the hoist when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of 

children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

•  Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. 

Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with 

another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure 

than the tool itself.

•  Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in 

place.

•  Do not leave the tool running unattended.

Specific Operation Warnings

WARNING:

•  To avoid injury, slide bar lock must be fully engaged if winch assembly is extended.

•  Wear ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety goggles, hard hat, heavy duty gloves, and steel toed boots 

during setup and use.

•  Do not exceed the rated load capacity.

•  Do not use to transport people or pets.

•  Secure load before raising or lowering load.

•  Only use the hoist to raise and lower one panel at a time.

•  Never load a drywall panel or operate the hoist if the lock pins are not engaged at one of the 

three positions.

•  Use ONLY for lifting a drywall panel.

•  To avoid serious injury, watch for overhead obstructions when raising panel.

•  Cradle drops rapidly when brake arm is released.

•  Control the winch with your right hand on wheel handle BEFORE releasing brake.

•  Be sure the winch components are clean and dry before operation.

•  Inspect the tool for wear or damage. Pay special attention to any wear or damage to the wire 

rope.

•  Carefully inspect the hoist before operating.

•  The hoist is built and designed to vertically lift plasterboards. Before lifting, be sure that the 

load is positioned strictly at the center of the cradle.

•  When taking the shelves off the control handle, hold the control handle tightly to avoid injury.
