CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- 3 -
•
Inspect chains FREQUENTLY. (
a
t least daily and before each use). Replace
at
the
first sign of damage or wear or if they do not flex freely. Check that
clips
on
master links are fully connected and not loose. (See Warnings on
page
1
)
•
Keep the chains, chain rollers, and caster bearings lightly lubricated
,
and
do
not
expose them to moisture. Be careful not to over oil, as excess drip
oil may
cause
grit to accumulate between moving parts.
•
Moisture
may
cause
PANELLIFT® Drywall Lift
to
seize up, which can damage
the
winch mechanism. Store the PANELLIFT® Drywall Lift in a dry place.
•
Test the winch mechanism occasionally to maintain integrity. Engage
the
retaining hook over the telescoping sections and rotate winch clockwise
until
resistance is met. You will need to force the winch clockwise a little to
release
the
brake. Maintenance is required if the clutch slips too easily or
requires
excessive
force to slip.
•
Avoid dropping drywall screws and other debris into the telescoping
sections
and
other openings in the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift. They can
cause jammed
chains
and possibly lead to damage to the lift.
•
If needed, order replacement chains from
Paragon Pro
. (
Call or visit our
website
for
more information
.
)
Use only factory
-
authorized replacement parts.
Installation
of
other parts can compromise the safe design of the
PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift
,
possibly resulting in serious property damage
and/or serious bodily injury.
•
Do not allow grease or oil to contact the surface of the winch brake drum.
Powdered gypsum applied to the brake will help dry the surface.
•
Apply household paraffin to the surfaces of the
telescoping sections, for smoother action.
•
Take care to avoid damaging the
PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift when transporting it.
•
Do not hammer on any members or components of the
PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift.
