RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”):
Before using the drum mover for the first time, make a record describing its appearance. Thoroughly photograph
the unit from multiple angles so that all mechanisms and labeling are clearly visible. Compare the label numbers
and locations to those shown in the Labeling Diagram on p. #. If your unit is labeled differently than the Labeling
Diagram, mark the diagram to show actual label locations. Install the device on the carriage of your fork truck. The
installation process is provided in USING THE DRUM MOVER , Step 1 on p. 3 . Photograph the unit again. Take
close range photos of the carriage brackets. Lift a drum by following the instructions in
USING THE DRUM MOVER,
Steps 2-7 . Describe how the drum gripper mechanism clamps the rim of the drum. Take close range photos of the
jaws clamped to the rim. Collate all photographs and writings into a file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. This
record documents satisfactory condition . Compare the results of all inspections to this record to determine if the
unit is in satisfactory condition. Do not use it unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like
damaged paint/powder coat do not constitute changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should
be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs.
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is essential for maximizing the service life of the unit. Compare the results of each
inspection to the RECORD to determine whether a component is in satisfactory condition or requires repair or
replacement. If an inspection reveals any changes in the condition of the unit, repair it before returning it to service.
Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Contact Technical Service if you have questions that are not
addressed in these instructions or if you are uncertain how to address an issue discovered during an inspection.
Technical Service can be contacted by calling (260) 665-7586 and asking for the Service and Parts Department or
by submitting questions online at http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_info.htm.
Apply the following general principles in addition to the specific inspection and maintenance procedures provided
in this section:
• Periodically lubricate moving parts.
• Keep the product clean and dry.
• Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
INSPECTIONS
Before inspecting the unit, tag it “Out of Service”. Compare the results of all inspections to the
Record
. If a part
needs to be repaired or replaced, do not return the unit to service until it has been fully restored to satisfactory
condition.
A. Before each use, inspect the following components :
1) Latch mechanism: confirm that the latch automatically locks and unlocks properly. It should seat into slots in the
upper carriage crossbar.
2) Labels: all labels should be readable and located as shown in the Labeling Diagram . If a label is unreadable or
missing, contact the Parts Department to order a replacement.
B. At least once per month, inspect:
1) Fasteners (hardware): Bolts, nuts, washers, clevis pins, cotter pins, etc.
2) Frame: Examine the back plate and carriage brackets. Check all welds. Look for damage such as cracks,
severely worn areas, significant rusting/corrosion.
3) Drum gripper mechanism (items 2.1-2.18 on p. 5): Examine the components of the gripper mechanism for
cracks, bends, and other damage. Confirm that the drum gripper operates correctly, i.e. downward
pressure/weight applied to the lower jaw causes the upper jaw to pivot towards the lower jaw until a clamp is
produced. The spring should cause the jaws to open automatically when pressure/weight is removed.
4) Ratchet strap: Check the strap for tears, thinning regions, etc. Confirm that the ratchet mechanism operates
normally. The strap should tighten when you move the handle back-and-forth. Pulling the release handle and
opening the handle should release the strap.
5) Overall condition of drum lifter: the structure should be clean, square and rigid, and free of rust and corrosion.
Remove dirt and debris.
Maintenance
1. Remove dirt and other matter from all surfaces.
2. Compare the results of your most recent inspection to the
Record
. Restore the carrier to satisfactory condition by
performing all indicated repairs and replacements. DO NOT use the product until it is restored to satisfactory
condition.
3. Make a dated record of all repairs, adjustments, and replacements.
