ASSEMBLY 1. Begin by setting up the tripod base: press down on the slide yoke ring pin and swing the outer legs out until they lock in the working position (note the holes on the bottom of the slide tube). 2c.

Place the frame assembly on the tripod base. A B D C 2b.
ASSEMBLY continued 8. Mount the cradle on top of the telescoping section. Flip out the tilt latch to allow the cradle to tilt for loading and for hanging drywall on sidewalls and sloped ceilings. 4. Raise the brake arm all the way up, grasp the winch post, and squeeze the brake arm firmly as shown. 5. Place your right hand on top of the frame and pull the winch assembly towards you. While pulling the winch towards you, grip the brake arm sufficiently to prevent back-lash of the cable on the winch. 9.
OPERATION When the backstop legs are set, they keep the unit from shifting while loading wallboard or while installing the frame on the tripod base. 4. The PANELLIFT® Drywall Lift will hold drywall in position on sidewalls and sloped ceilings in addition to level ceilings. The cradle also tilts up to 10o longitudinally. USE THE BACKSTOP ON THE TRIPOD BASE WHEN WORKING ON SIDEWALLS AND SLOPED CEILINGS. When working on sloped ceilings, start at the peak and work down. 1.
