operating Instructions
To lift an upright drum from the floor and place
horizontally in a drum rack:
Tilt the drum holder assembly down to the vertical position by
1.
pulling the
TILT CONTROL LEVER toward the operator. Rotate the grip pad hand
wheel counter-clockwise to the full OPEN position.
Using the LIFT CONTROL LEVER, position the drum holder assembly with
2.
the top rim grip pads several inches above the drum (see Figure 5.1).
Move the < PILOT > toward the drum, until the two parallel drum-supporting
3.
bars are firmly resting against the side of the drum.
Lower the drum holder assembly until the bridge meets the top of the drum.
4.
In this position, the top rim grip pads should be an inch or two below the top
drum rim.
Rotate the grip pad hand wheel clockwise to close the grip pads tightly
5.
on the drum. Ensure that the chime catches on the two parallel drum-
supporting bars are immediately under the top rim of the drum.
Visually inspect the drum holder assembly and position of the drum to verify
6.
proper engagement of the grip pads and chime catches. With the grip pads
and chime catches secure, push the LIFT CONTROL LEVER to raise the
drum. Continue to raise only until the drum is 6”-12” clear of the floor, a
height sufficient to permit the drum to swing clear of the floor when tilting to
horizontal.
WARnInG
- stay clear of raised drum
.
NEVER allow anyone to be below any part of a
raised drum handler or drum.
Remain behind the control handle while
handling a drum.
After ensuring that the area in front of the < PILOT > is clear, tilt the drum to the horizontal position by pushing TILT CONTROL
7.
LEVER. Do not raise the drum until you have reached the racking area. It can be unsafe to move the < PILOT > with a raised drum.
After the drum has been tilted to the horizontal position, rotate the grip pad hand wheel counter-clockwise to the full open position.
8.
This will allow the drum to be cradled by the two parallel drum-supporting bars and allow it to be racked horizontally.
Note: There are interlock switches built into the drum holder which are intended to prevent tilting when the drum is not properly
positioned. If the grip pad or the top drum rim is not properly positioned,
the tilting function is disabled.
Move the < PILOT > to the drum storage area and raise or lower the drum to a height that is a couple of inches higher than the shelf
9.
height. Push the unit into the storage position and carefully lower the drum onto the rack. The two parallel drum-support bars should
be just below the walls of the drum but still above the rack. This will allow clearance to withdraw the < PILOT > and leave the drum
in the storage position.
