Loading a covering board
1. Flip the reverse brake down so that
the plasterboard lift does not roll
backwards.
2. Flip the support hooks on the support
arms out. Make sure that the cradle is
turned so that the support hooks are
furthest away from the handwheel.
3. Pull the outriggers on the support arms
out so that they can provide optimum
support for the covering boards.
