Operating Instructions
1.)
Push the Hydra-Lift Karrier to the drum.
2.) Using the “LIFT” control as described in “
Machine Description - 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 necessary 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 notch
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 notch and try tightening 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.
