Operating Instructions

1.  Push the Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer to the drum.

Controls”, position drum holder assembly with back band at 

middle of drum.  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.  Engage 

floor lock.

 

3.  Attaching drum:

 Drape cinch chain across front of drum and 

engage chain link into slot in ratchet (Figure 3.2).  Turn ratchet 

clockwise to tighten cinch 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.  Cinch chain must 

be held tightly against drum with pawl engaged securely in 

ratchet teeth. 

4. 

Operate lift function to lift drum clear of floor.  Disengage floor 

lock.  Roll to dispensing location.  NOTE: Do not allow drum to 

impact on floor, pouring station, etc. or spill or damage could 

occur. 

 

  

 

CAUTION 

– Do NOT transport with drum raised.

  

 

 

 

ALWAYS LOWER THE DRUM HOLDER TO LOWEST POSITION BEFORE TRANSPORTING.   

 

 

 

Unit can become unstable when transporting with raised load. 

5.  Lift drum to desired pouring height.  Operate tilt control as described in “Machine Description - Controls” to adjust drum attitude.  

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 cm) off the floor.

 

 

  

 

WARNING 

- Stay clear of raised drum

 

 

 

 

NEVER allow anyone to be below any part of raised drum handler or drum.  Remain behind push handle    

 

 

 

while handling drum. 

 

  

 

WARNING 

– Do NOT disengage cinch chain when drum is off the ground.

 

 

 

 

When drum is in upright position, lower drum to the floor before releasing cinch chain.

 

7. 

Push unit to drum storage area and lower drum to the floor in upright position.  Release cinch chain from ratchet by applying 

pressure to ratchet handle in clockwise direction with one hand and opening pawl to free ratchet with other hand.  Remove cinch 

chain link from the ratchet.
