OPERATION
Tilt Latch
To allow the cradle to tilt (for loading a dry wall panel, or for raising the pane! to
a side wall or sloped ceiling); or to remove the cradle from the frame, pivot the
tilt latch out and down. To lock the cradle onto the frame without tilting, pivot
the latch up to engage the stud on the cradle.
NOTE: When it is in the level (non-tilted) position, the cradle will also tilt up to
10° side-to-side.
A spring-loaded brake holds the cradle at whatever height you raise it by
cranking the winch wheel. To lower the cradle, control the backward rotation of
the winch by grasping the wheel handle as you carefully raise the brake arm
to release the brake.

Winch Wheel, Handle, and Post

raises or lowers the cradle. Grasp the post for leverage when cranking the
