10 Operating Instructions: DTP05(-Ex)
•
Lift the rack by operating the pump handle so that the catch rises above the top lip of
the drum.
•
Push the unit forward so that the top hook engages the drum.
•
Lower the rack slowly by turning the lowering lever anti-clockwise ensuring that the top
hook engages over the top lip of the drum and that the bottom toggle secures beneath
the drum lip
.
•
The drum is now ready to be lifted.
Removing Drums from a Pallet
•
Pump the hydraulic handle to raise the drum to the desired height.
•
Remove drum from the pallet by slowly pulling the depalletiser away.
•
When clear of the pallet and transporting the drum, keep the drum as low to the ground
as is practical for transport.
•
To place the drum down, simply turn the lowering lever anticlockwise. The rate at which
the drum lowers is controlled by the amount that the lever is rotated.
•
Once the drum is placed on the floor, or another pallet, continue to lower the rack until
the catch goes slack, the operator can then reach forward and manually remove the
top hook from the drum.
•
If the catch is lowered too far; it will be not possible to unhook from the drum. In this
instance raise the rack slightly by pumping the handle, the catch will then go slack and
the top hook will be able to be unhooked.
