Operating Instructions
Roll drum lifter to drum. Steer unit so head and bottom support meet1.
centerline of drum. Head should push into side of drum near drum top.
Exact height is not critical. Jaws should arrive below drum rim. This
usually corresponds to having top of head about as high as top of drum.
WARNING: Keep hands and other objects away from top opening of
lifting frame.
To clamp drum: Operate lift function to raise head while it is held against2.
the drum. Drum-gripping action is automatic as the head rises. This is
how it works: As the head rises, the lower jaw will come up under the lip
of the drum rim, “catch” under it, and be held down. As the head rises with
the lower jaw thus held by the drum rim, internal linkage will pull the upper
jaw downward to meet the top of the drum rim. The drum’s weight on the
lower jaw creates the force that pulls the upper jaw down to tightly grip the
drum rim. No manual contact is required.
WARNING: Keep hands and other objects away from drum-gripping
jaws.

Carrydrumonlyhighenoughtoavoidcontactwiththeoororobstacles.
Push loaded unit when possible for transporting. Pulling unit should be
limited to maneuvering at short distance.
WARNING: Excessive pitching or bouncing caused by rushing over
rough or non-level oors can make drum momentarily weightless,
jaws can disengage.

to lower, weight will no longer be on the lower jaw and jaws will open
automatically. No manual contact is required. Do not stop lowering as
soon as drum touches down, keep going down for a few more inches. Pull
unit away once upper jaw has retracted clear of drum rim. Park unit on

Adjustment for Shorter Drums: The head is factory set in upper position5.
for handling drums at least 34” tall, including typical 55 gallon drums. For
handling drums as short as 28” such as typical 30 gallon drums, relocate
head downward as follows: Detach head by removing nuts that hold head
to lifting assembly. Reattach head at alternate location 6” lower.
