Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should remain behind the push handle during the lift operation.
Figure 3.2
Floor Lock
The screw-down floor lock is located on the base of the tower
(figure 3.1). Turning the floor lock clockwise until it locks in
the down position activates the floor lock. When the floor
lock is activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of the
unit. Floor conditions determine the effectiveness of the floor
lock. The operator should verify its holding action before
depending on it to hold.
Drum Holder Assembly
The drum holder assembly (or “saddle assembly”) is the
component on the Hydra-Lift Karrier that is intended to hold
the drum. The drum holder assembly is designed to secure a
standard ribbed 55-gallon steel drum around it’s middle using
a cinch chain and ratchet tightening system. The drum holder
accepts accessories for handling smaller diameter drums.
Operating Instructions
1.) Push the Hydra-Lift Karrier to the drum.
2.) Using the “LIFT” control as described in “
Machine De-
scription - Controls
” (page 3) , position the drum holder
assembly with the back band at the middle of the drum.
(Figure 3.1). With the ratchet plate swung open and the
cinch chain hanging from the chain hook, push the unit
until the back band rests firmly against the drum. Some
adjustment to the tilt angle of the saddle may be neces
-
sary to ensure band fits flush on the drum.
3.)
Attaching the drum:
Drape the chain across the front of the drum and engage
a link into the slot in the ratchet (Figure 3.2). Turn the
ratchet clockwise to tighten chain. If ratchet turns until the
pawl is beyond the last ratchet tooth, turn the ratchet back
and slide the next link into the ratchet slot and try tighten
-
ing again. The chain must be held tightly against the drum
with the pawl engaged securely in the ratchet teeth.
4.) Operate the lift function to lift drum clear of floor. Roll to
dispensing location. NOTE: Do not allow the drum to
impact on floor, pouring station, etc. or a spill or damage
could occur.
