4. Either one of the two spring loaded plunger tilt locks (Figure 4.4) may be locked
to hold drum upright. Unlocking both will permit drum to be tilted. Drum pouring
angle may be varied or drum can be locked in various positions by inserting
one tilt lock. It is not necessary to lock both tilt locks. Before unlocking tilt lock it
is recommended that you steady drum and prepare to resist its tendency to tilt
toward its heavy end.
WARNING:
Keep hands and fingers clear of tilt lock holes, as a pinch
point will occur when drum rotates.
5. With tilt-locks unlocked, manually tilt the drum for pouring (Figure 4.5). The drum
pouring angle may be varied or it can be locked in various positions by one of the
tilt-locks.
6. After emptying, rotate drum back to vertical position and lower.
7. Before unloading drum, release tilt locks and return drum to upright. Lower drum
at a controlled rate.
8. To remove drum: Squeeze the ratchet release lever and open all the way to
unlock. Then release the tension on the strap. Allow enough slack in order to
remove strap loop from clevis. Swing both hinged bands to open position. Pull
unit away and park on level floor, out of traffic lanes when not in use.

Adjustment for Shorter Drums: The drum holder assembly is factory set in
position for handling typical 55-gallon (210 liter) drums. For handling shorter
drums such as typical 30-gallon (114 liter) drums, relocate drum holder assembly
downward as follows: Detach by removing nuts that hold it to lifting assembly.
Reattach at alternate location 6” lower.
