2. Secure the stop bars (#7) and carriage/plate assembly (#3) to the carriage frame assembly (#1) with the hardware (#15, #17 and #18)
provided and as shown in the exploded view drawing. It may be necessary to clamp the carriage/plate and carriage frame assemblies
together with a C clamp or Vice Grip in order to align the mounting holes.
3. The adjustable angle bracket (#4) can be installed with the angle of the bracket pointed in the desired direction and according
to the application.
4. Remove the Cotter pins (#20) and washers (#21) from the axle assembly (#2). Install the wheels (#12) on the axles and secure them with the
washers and Cotter pins as shown in the exploded view drawing.
5. Remove the hitch pin (#25) from the carriage/plate assembly (#3) and insert the handle (#8) in the carriage/plate assembly. Align the holes
in the handle with the holes in the assembly and secure them with the hitch pin.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
REMOVING THE BRAKE DRUM
1. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the proper brake drum removal instructions. Make sure the vehicle tires/wheels not being removed
are blocked and the vehicle is secured to prevent it from rolling.
2. Back the brakes off and break the drum loose from the hub assembly.
3. Grab the handler's handle with one hand and put it in a horizontal position while using the other hand to turn the handler's machine
rotating handle in clockwise direction. Turn the machine rotating handle until the handler's cradle is all the way down.
4. Flip the "L" shaped grab hook back against the handle. Push the handler under the drum until the two angled bars on the handler touch
the outside surface of the drum.
5. Turn the machine rotating handle in a counterclockwise direction until the handler's cradle comes in contact with the bottom
circumference of the drum.
6. Lower the handler's handle to lift the drum just enough so that you can back the drum away from the brake assembly. This will enable you
to flip the "L" shaped grab hook forward so that it fits into the opening of the drum. If the "L" shaped grab hook does not enter the drum's
opening, remove the grab hook's detent pin and reposition the grab hook in the appropriate hole in the cradle bracket and secure it with
the detent pin provided. The drum should now be secured to the handle as the two angled bars prevent the drum from moving backwards
and the "L" shaped grab hook prevents the drum from moving forward.
7. Pull the drum away from the brake assembly until it clears the assembly. Transport the drum to its destination and then slowly lift the
handle to place the open end of the drum on the floor.
INSTALLING THE BRAKE DRUM
1. Turn the handler's machine rotating handle in a clockwise direction until the handler's cradle is all the way down.
2. Roll the handler over to the drum and raise the handle in a upright position so the handler's cradle rests against the side of the drum and
the two angle bars are resting on the outer face of the drum. Flip the "L" shaped grab hook forward so it fits into the opening of the drum.
Adjust the hook location if necessary.
3. Pull the handle back to slowly lift the drum off the floor and transport the drum to the brake assembly.
4. Lower the handle and turn the machine rotating handle in a counterclockwise direction to raise the drum for alignment with the brake
assembly. Push the handler in towards the brake assembly until the drum is close to touching the studs. Make sure the studs line up with
the drum holes but remember to flip the "L" shaped grab hook back and out of the way before installing the hub on the brake assembly.
5. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the proper brake drum installation instructions.
6. Once the drum is positioned and seated on the brake assembly, pull the handle up and remove the handler.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the handler in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive
dust, or any other harmful elements.
The handler must be cleaned of sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. Lubricate moving parts and specifically the drive screw once a month with a general purpose grease. Do not lubricate the cradle,
machine rotating handle and main handle.
3. Every drum handler owner is responsible for keeping the label clean and readable. Use mild soap solution to wash surfaces and
then dry.
4. Inspect the handler before each use. Do not use the handler if any component is cracked, broken, bent or shows sign of damage.
Do not use the handler if it has loose or missing hardware or components or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before
using the handler again.
