  Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section 

at the beginning of this manual including all text under 

subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Tool Set Up

Designate a work area that is clean and well-

lit.  The work area must not allow access by 

children or pets to prevent injury and distraction.

Extending the Cradle

The Cradle can be extended to support 

the ends of long panels. For safe use, both 

Extensions should be pulled out the same 

amount to support the panel equally.

WARNING!

 Failure to properly adjust the Extensions 

could cause the Hoist to tip over, resulting in 

serious injury and/or property damage.

1.  To adjust the Extension, pull out the Lock Pin and 

pull the Extension out from the end of the Cradle 

Beam until it lines up with one of the three holes.

Note:

 The Lock Pin will lock the Extension in three 

positions. Be sure the Lock Pin is engaged in one 

of these positions whenever using the Hoist.

4.  Adjust both Extensions equally, and ensure that 

both are locked in place using the Lock Pins.

5.  To avoid damage, always retract and secure the 

Extensions before transporting or storing the Hoist.

Open the Panel Support Hooks

The Panel Support Hooks, located on one 

end of the each of the Crossarms, are 

used to support the drywall panel.

and rotate them outward to their open position.
