The following is a list of important control and operating mechanisms with which the operator must be famailar PRIOR to using the wallboard lift. Failure to do so may result in severe injury and/or fatality to the operator and others and may lead to reduced machine life or damage to the wallboard lift and surrounding jobsite.

a.Tripod Base Assembly -

The Tripod Base Assembly spreads out and locks into place to provide sturdy, balanced support to the wallboard lift. Due to the design and function of the machine, please ensure that the base is FULLY extended at

ALL TIMES. The foot brake MUST be engaged except when moving unit around on jobsite.

b.Winch Arm Assembly -

The Winch Arm Assembly lowers or raises the winch drum for the operator to use wthe wallboard lift. Always ensure that the arm is completely extended away from the mast when unit is in use, and completely pulled in next to the mast for storage.

c.Winch Drum Assembly -

The Winch Drum Assembly operates the wallboard lift. Always use BOTH hands when operating unit, keeping

one on the brake and the other on the winch. Ensure that the operator is thoroughly familiar with how to raise

and lower the wallboard lift by reading the operation procedures in this manual PRIOR to use.

d.Telescoping Mast Assembly -

When fully extended, the Main Telescoping Mast Assembly will lift up to 11’. If greater height is needed, the

REWL11-EXT 15’ Extension Unit can be used to replace the standard telesecoping section in the base unit for an

extended reach of 15’.

e.Cradle Lock Assembly -

The Cradle Lock Assembly is a key safety feature on the unit. It stops the cradle from tilting when in use.

Always engage the lock BEFORE raising or lowering the cradle.

f.Cradle Base Assembly -

The Cradle Assembly has telescoping extensions on both sides, allowing the wallboard lift to hold sheets up to

120’ in width. Both sides of the cradle should be balanced and have the same length, whether extended or not,

for safety. g.Cradle Cross Arm Assembly -

Completing the cradle assembly, the 2 Cradle Cross Arms offer support and an ‘easel’ onto which wallboard,

other similar type panels can be loaded onto the REWL11. NEVER EXCEED LOAD MORE THAN 150 LBS

ONTO THE MACHINE. Make sure that the weight of the load is evenly distributed on both sides of the cradle

to maintain symmetry and balance for safety and performance.

Doing so will exceed the maximum designed capacity of this wallboard lift, and potentially lead to serious injury to operator and others, as well as damage to the jobsite.

Storing the REWL11

1. Always store the Endura REWL11 in a dry environment to preserve the life and durability of the machine.

DO NOT STORE IN DAMP ENVIRONMENTS THAT CAN LEAD TO CORROSION OF STEEL

BODY AND PARTS.

2. Clean and lubricate machine with silicone spray lubricant prior to storage.

DO NOT LUBRICATE BRAKE AREA. THIS CAN AND MAY

STOP THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM!

3. Touch-up any scratches or damaged area exposing metal to the elements.

4. Order and re-apply any safety labels. Refer to “Information on Safety Decals” in “Parts Breakdown Section”

of the manual for placement and parts numbers.

5. Store unit in storage position in a covered or indoor storage area for increased protection and longevity.

6. When moving the REWL11 from a cold to a warm environment or vice versa, make sure that the unit is

allowed to reach room temperature in its operating environment BEFORE assembling and using the

wallboard lift. Condensation can form on the machine surface, thus potentially creating an opportunity

for malfunction and unsafe operation.


Maintenance Procedures

The following are general guidelines for servicing common wear components on the REWL11 Wallboard Lift. ALL

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE WORK MUST BE PERFORMED BY A TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED TECHNICIAN. Ensure that the work area is clean and free of debris prior to starting any maintenance or service work. Small particles may become trapped in key components that may lead to serious damage to the machine and cause severe bodily harm to the operator or technician.

!

All service should be performed by trained technicians.

Before performing any service and maintenance procedures, consult these general safety procedures for a safe working environment.

1. Make sure that the wallboard lift cradle is completely lowered and locked in place prior to any service or maintenance work.

2. Verify that work area is on solid, fl at ground, clean and free of any debris, tripping or fi re hazards, and other potential sources of danger. ALWAYS ENGAGE THE FOOT BRAKE TO KEEP MACHINE FROM MOVING.

3. Always wear proper safety clothing and equipment for the job. These can and should include eye and ear protection, protective helmets, gloves, dust mask and any other items that are appropriate for the job and jobsite requirements

4. Ensure that the technician has tied back or remove any loose hair, clothing and any other potential hazards and obstructions

The REWL11 is designed to be a low-maintenance unit. Provided that the unit has not been subjected to abuse or misuse, there are very few service items required. By following the Inspection Schedule below BEFORE and AFTER each use of the wallboard lift, appropriate actions can be taken to extend the service life of the machine and reduce any costly repairs and unnecessary downtime for the unit.

A.Inspection Schedule
