Warning
Read and follow these warnings and the instructions that follow. Failure to do so could
result in serious property damage and/or serious bodily injury.
• Use and maintenance of the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall
Lift shall be limited to authorized personnel who are
trained in the proper techniques for its safe operation
and maintenance and who are familiar with the various
hazards of overhead material handling.
• As with any lifting equipment,
ALWAYS WEAR A HARD
HAT
when operating the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift and
keep children away from the work area. Failure to do so
could result in serious bodily injury.
•
DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO USE YOUR PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift IF ANY PART IS MISSING, DAMAGED OR
WORN. ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART IMMEDIATELY.
Using a PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift with missing, damaged
or worn components can result in failure of the unit and
possibly severe property damage and/or serious bodily
injury.
•
INSPECT THE CHAIN ASSEMBLIES BEFORE EACH
USE. REPLACE AT THE FIRST SIGN OF DAMAGE OR
WEAR.
A worn, damaged or improperly installed chain
can fail resulting in a sudden and rapid lowering of the
lift and the load and possibly resulting in serious property
damage and/or serious bodily injury. Inspect the chains
by extending the lift fully and examining the full length of
each lift chain for signs of damage or wear.
•
The weight capacity of the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift
is 150 lbs. (68 kg). DO NOT load the unit beyond this
limit. When loading wallboard (or similar building
panels), load only one sheet of wallboard at a time.
Failure to follow this warning can result in an unstable load
and/or damage to the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift contributing
to a sudden failure of the machine and serious property
damage and/or serious bodily injury.
•
DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR ADJUST
the setting of
the hydraulic pump on the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift. This
is factory preset for the load range of the intended use
of the lift. Altering this factory setting can subject the
components of the lift to stresses and loads that they
were not designed to carry. This can result in failure of
the unit which may include a sudden and rapid lowering
of the lift and the load possibly resulting in serious property
damage and/or serious bodily injury.
•
DO NOT ROLL
a loaded PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift while
the load is raised. Always keep the load lowered until the
lift is in place beneath the space in which the load will be
installed. Rolling a PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift while the load
is raised can result in tipping the lift and load possibly
resulting in serious property damage and/or serious bodily
injury.
• Operate the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift only on hard, flat,
level surfaces free of obstructions, debris, clutter, pits, holes
or openings. Failure to follow this warning can result in tip-
ping the lift and/or load possibly resulting in serious prop-
erty damage and/or serious bodily injury.
• The PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift is designed exclusively as
a material lift and shall be used for no other purpose. The
PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift is not a personnel lift or platform
and shall not be used as such. Using the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift for purposes other than a material lift can
subject the unit to stresses and loads that it was not
designed to carry. This can result in failure of the unit
which may include a sudden and rapid lowering of the lift
and the load possibly resulting in serious property damage
and/or serious bodily injury.
• The PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift is made of steel which
conducts electricity. Keep the unit away from live electrical
wires. Failure to do so could result in electrocution.
• Use only factory authorized replacement parts. Installation
of other parts can compromise the safe design of the
PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift and may cause failure of the
unit possibly resulting in serious property damage and/or
serious bodily injury.
• Moving the PANELLIFT
®
Drywall Lift from a cold
environment to a warm one may cause condensation to
form on metal surfaces creating a potential for malfunction.
Such malfunction could possibly result in serious property
damage and/or serious bodily injury: Allow the unit to reach
working room temperature before operating.
•
Keep
hands, hair, and clothing away from chains and
movable telescoping sections.
• BEFORE
operating this equipment, thoroughly read
this set of instructions, make sure you understand them,
and only then follow the step-by-step directions.
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
could result in failure of the
equipment. Failure of the equipment while the lift is
raised can include a sudden and rapid lowering of
the lift and load possibly resulting in serious property
damage and/or serious bodily injury.
