OPERATION

Maximum weight usage is 150 pounds. Do not lift beyond that load.
Inspect the unit carefully before use. Determine that the cable is not kinked, frayed or damaged.
Drywall Hoist should be at room temperature when in use. Moving a cold Drywall Hoist into a warm
room can create condensation and affect the winch brake.
Do not use the Lift arm if either crossarm support is not secured by locking spring tab.
Use on a flat, level surface. Do not release the load on a slope or uneven surface.
Watch for overhead fixtures. Keep area free when lifting overhead.
Be certain the Brake Drum is dry and clean when operating.
Before operating, check the drywall hoist and inspect the cable before use. A worn, damaged or
improperly installed cable can fail resulting in a sudden and rapid lowering of the hoist and the load and
possibly resulting in serious property damage, serious bodily injury and/or death.
Keep guards in place and in working order. Both crossarms should be secured by the locking spring
tabs, and the slide bar lock is fully engaged when winch is extended.
