TO LOWER THE PANEL
1. Grasp the wheel handle with your right hand so you
can restrain the backward rotation of the winch.
2. Retain your hold on the winch handle. Carefully
release the brake with your left hand and slowly
rotate the wheel backward to lower the cradle to the
desired height (Figure 20).
WARNING
Always store the Drywall Lift in a dry, protected area.
DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble the Drywall Lift for transport or compact storage:
1. Crank the cradle all the way down.
2. Slide the cradle arm extensions all the way in until they latch. Close the panel support hooks.
3. Remove the crossarms by pressing the spring tab on the bottom and sliding the crossarms out
of the tapered socket.
4. Lift the cradle (about 3 inches) until you can remove it from the frame.
5. Rotate the winch wheel one full rotation forward (as shown on page 4). This will raise the inner
telescoping section.
6. Unlock the winch assembly by lifting the slide bar with your left hand while you rotate the slide
bar lock counterclockwise with your right hand.
7. Hold the slide bar lock in the disengaged position, and press down on the telescoping sections in
the frame with your left hand. The winch assembly will move toward the frame housing.
8. Crank the telescoping sections all the way down. Swing up the retaining hook, crank the
telescoping sections back up slightly until secured by the hook (Figure 17).
9. Hold the retaining hook in this position with your left hand, and rotate the winch forward with
your right hand.
10. The winch assembly will fold up against the frame. When the slide bar contacts the frame, tighten
the cable by turning the wheel further (just enough to hold the winch assembly in position).
11. Carefully lift the frame/winch about 1 in. to free it from the tripod base.
12. To fold the base, press down on the slide yoke ring and pivot the front legs in until they lock in the
closed position.
