Machine Description
The 525 Series Scale-Equipped Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer will pour a drum
at up to 106” (269 cm) high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of
a horizontal drum. It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-
gallon (210 liter) steel drum 22.5” (56 cm) in diameter, as well as a fiber drum
between 22” and 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) in diameter. The maximum full-drum
capacity is 800 Lb. (363 kg). The capacity is derated to 500 Lb. (227 kg) for
a half-full drum. The half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s capacity
for handling an unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30
•
Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see
Diameter Adaptor literature
).
The
•
Bracket Assembly
(Part # 4556-P) is
required
to handle a plastic
drum without a top rim (see figure 2.1). It is also recommended to
more securely handle a fiber drum. You can use the Bracket Assembly
with a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic, steel or fiber drum. The brace at top
and bottom of the drum prevent it from slipping lengthways through the
drum holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to 39” (79 to 99 cm) tall.
The
•
Top Rim Clamp
(Part # 4560-P) grips the upper rim of your drum
to prevent it from slipping through the drum holder (see figure 2.2).
To handle a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic drum with top rim, you
must
install either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp. You can use
the Top Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon plastic, steel or fiber drum with
suitable top rim.
Machine Unpacking
Inspect the machine for visible damage. If damage is noted, follow
receiving procedure on page 1.
Remove machine from pallet by lifting from the square tubing at the top of
the unit. Insert a strap or chain through the tubing and make a loop to lift
by. Attach loop to an overhead crane and raise slowly.
Installation Instructions

BEFORE operation, replace the
RED
shipping plug from the hydraulic
reservoir with the
BLACK
breather, and insert lever handle into pump
socket.
