Note: There are interlock switches built into the drum holder which are intended to prevent tilting when the drum is not
properly positioned. The true safety of this operation, however, depends on the operator correctly positioning the drum in
the drum holder, and verifying proper engagement of the rim grip pads.
Raise the horizontal drum from the rack a few inches and back the < PILOT > away. Lower the horizontal drum to about 48”
3.
from the floor. Rotate the grip pad hand wheel clockwise to close the grip pads tightly on the drum.
WARnInG
- DO NOT tilt the horizontal drum down if it is less than 48” off the floor. The
drum and / or drum holder can interfere with the floor when tilting.
Carefully tilt the drum down to the vertical position.
4.
Lower the upright drum to the floor and when the weight of the drum is entirely on the floor, rotate the grip pad hand wheel
5.
counter-clockwise to the full open position.
