OPERATION
PREPARING DRYWALL PANELS
Drywall panels are typically stocked leaning horizontally in small stacks
against walls. When the drywall bundle is opened the first panel has to be
flipped around so the good side of the panel is facing out.
LOADING A PANEL
Center the lift on the panel and position about an inch away from the
panel. Lower the cradle to the floor. Lift one end of the panel onto the
cradle support hooks. Lean the panel back against the cradle frame.
TRANSPORTING
Turn the winch handle clockwise to raise the panel about 12 inches off the
floor, with one hand holding the vertical handle and the other hand gripping
the top edge of the panel, lean the lift back slightly onto the rear wheels and
push like a hand truck. Lean the lift forward onto the front wheels to trans-
port the loaded lift sideways through doorways and hallways.
POSITIONING
Position the lift so the casters are 8 to 12 inches away from the wall.
While standing at the back of the lift, carefully lean the lift and panel
forward onto the front wheels and againsts the wall. The lift will not
kick away from the wall because the wheels do not pivot.
LIFTING AND HOLDING
With a firm grip on the horizontal handle, turn the winch
handle clockwise to raise the panel. The winch auto
locks and the panel will be held securely against the wall.
CAUTION:
DO NOT RAISE THE PANEL OVER 24
INCHES UNLESS THE LIFT IS STANDING ON THE
FRONT WHEELS AND THE PANEL IS LEANING
AGAINST THE WALL.
