(page 4) to
adjust drum attitude. This is especially important when lifting an open drum. The floor lock should be engaged while
dispensing / draining.
6.) When dispensing is complete, tilt drum back to upright position. Disengage floor lock and lower drum to transporting
height; about 6” (15.2 cm) off floor.

Operating Instructions
1.) Push Hydra-Lift Karrier to drum.
2.) Using the “LIFT” control as described in “
Machine
Description - Controls
” (page 4), position drum holder
assembly with back band at middle of drum (Figure 3.1).
With ratchet plate swung open and cinch chain hanging
from chain hook, push unit until back band rests firmly
against drum. Some adjustment to tilt angle of saddle
may be necessary to ensure band fits flush on drum.

slot in ratchet (Figure 3.2). Turn ratchet clockwise to
tighten chain. If ratchet turns until pawl is beyond last
ratchet tooth, turn ratchet back and slide next link into
ratchet slot and try tightening again. Chain must be
held tightly against drum with pawl engaged securely in
ratchet teeth.
