DWHOIST Drywall Hoist Assembly & Operating Instructions

Raise the backstop on the base, and carefully roll the lift close to the position where the panel will be
installed.
To Raise The Panel
Always lower the backstop before raising the panel to a sloped ceiling or side wall.
Hold the post for leverage and crank the winch wheel. The brake is spring-loaded
to automatically hold the cradle at the selected height when you stop cranking.
To Lower The Panel
Hold the wheel handle so you can support the backward rotation of the winch.
Release the brake with your left hand and rotate the wheel SLOWLY backward.
To Disassemble
Crank the handle all the way down.
Slide the cradle outriggers until they latch. Close the panel support hooks.
Remove the crossarms by pressing the spring tab on the bottom and sliding
the crossarm out of the socket.
Unlock the cradle tilt latch. Lift the cradle unitl you can remove it from the frame.
Rotate the winch wheel one full rotation forward as shown. This will raise
the inner telescoping section.
Unlock the winch assembly by lifting the slide bar with your left hand. While you
rotate the slide bar lock, turn it clockwise.
Hold the slide bar lock in the disengaged position. Press down on the telescoping section in the frame. The
winch assembly will move toward the frame housing.
Hold the slide bar lock in this disengaged position and press down on the telescoping section in the frame
with your left hand. The winch assembly will move toward the frame housing.
Crank the telescoping sections all the way down. Swing up the retainig hook as shown, and crank the
telescoping sections back up slightly until secured by the hook.
Hold the retaining hook in this position with your left hand, and rotate the winch forward with your right
hand.
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 this position.)
Lift the frame about 1 inch to free it from the tripod base.
Fold the base by pressing down on the slide yoke ring and pivot the forward legs until they lock in the
closed position.
