WARNING
- Watch Out for Pinch Points
Stay clear of moving parts. Operator should remain behind the push handle during the lift operation.
Figure 3.2
Floor Lock
The screw-down floor lock is located on the base of the tower
(figure 3.1). Turning the floor lock clockwise until it locks in the
down position activates the floor lock. When the floor lock is
activated it prevents unwanted free wheeling of the unit. Floor
conditions determine the effectiveness of the floor lock. The
operator should verify its holding action before depending on
it to hold.
Drum Holder Assembly
The drum holder assembly (or “saddle assembly”) is the compo
-
nent on the Hydra-Lift Karrier that is intended to hold the drum.
The drum holder assembly is designed to secure a standard
ribbed 55-gallon steel drum around it’s middle using a cinch
chain and ratchet tightening system. The drum holder accepts
accessories for handling smaller diameter drums.
Operating Instructions
1.) Push the Hydra-Lift Karrier to the drum.
2.) Using the “LIFT” control as described in “
Machine Descrip-
tion - Controls
” (page 3) , position the drum holder assem
-
bly 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 slot 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 slot 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.
