Initial setup and connecting to drums:
•
Ensure the rack is lowered fully so that all the vertical lift stroke is available;
this is done by turning the lowering lever anticlockwise.
•
There are five rungs at which you can secure the drum catch, removing the
lowest R-pin allows you to remove the catch from the rack and relocate it so
that the catch is positioned below the drum lip you wish to connect to.
•
Manoeuvre the depalletiser using the handle being sure to keep good
posture; operators should move gently while manoeuvring, planning ahead
in good time.
•
Line up the lifter with the centreline of the drum.
•
Lift the rack using the pump handle so the catch rises above the top lip of
the drum.
•
Push the unit forward so the top catch engages the drum.
•
Lower the rack slowly using the lowering lever ensuring the top hook
engages over the top lip of the drum and that the bottom toggle secures
beneath the drum lip
.
Removing drums from pallet:
•
Pump the hydraulic handle to raise the drum to the desired height.
•
Remove drum from the pallet by gently pulling the depalletiser away.
•
When clear of the pallet and transporting the drum, keep the drum as low to
the ground as is practical.
•
To place the drum down, simply turn the control lever anticlockwise locates
on the top of the lifter. The rate at which the drum lowers is controlled by
the amount that the lever is pulled.
•
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 hook from the drum.
•
If the catch is lowered too much it is not possible to unhook the catch, in
this instance raise the rack slightly by pumping the handle, the catch will go
slack ready for unhooking.
