GENERAL
The ARO Model 651615-X Single Post Lift/Ram uses a 3-1/2'' airpowered cylinder which is welded to a heavy gauge base base. It is norĆ
mally used to raise and lower a fluid handling pump and follower in and
out of of standard 5-gallon drum or when used as a ram it can force
high viscosity flowable material into the pump inlet.
When properly secured, this unit has the ability to raise a pump to clear
a standard 5-gallon drum. The operator is then able to easily remove
the pump from a pail.
This Lift/Ram uses a hand lever 4-way control valve which controls the
air necessary to raise and lower the lift. This unit includes an auxiliary
manual air valve which is used to supply a controlled amount of air
pressure to the bottom of the follower plate. When the Control Valve is
in the ``UP'' position a small amount of air pressure applied under the
follower plate will help to raise the follower plate, pump and lift by reĆ
lieving the vacuum. See Page 3.

OPERATING
AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Z Read and heed all Warnings, Cautions, and Safety PrecauĆ
tions before operating.
Z Use only genuine ARO replacement parts to assure compatĆ
ible pressure rating and longest service life.
Shock hazard.
Striking electrical
fixtures can cause
injury.
WARNING PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK. Be certain the
area above the lift is clear of electrical fixtures, devices and
wiring. Examine the working area and take necessary action to asĆ
sure adequate clearance for the lift and pump assembly to raise to
the fullest limit and function properly.
Pinch hazard.
Follower can descend
quickly causing injury
WARNING PINCH HAZARD. Follower can descend quickly,
causing injury. Keep hands clear when aligning with containĆ
er. In the raising and lowering function the lift could get hung up or
the descent could be temporarily restricted. The lift could in some

situations drop suddenly and be hazardous. If the follower plate
does not enter the drum properly, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REĆ
POSITION IT WITH YOUR HANDS; release the downward presĆ
sure, raise the lift, realign the drum and restart.
WARNING STAND CLEAR. When raising or lowering the lift
keep clear and operate from a safe position.
Hazardous pressure.
Can result in injury or
property damage.
Do not exceed maxi
mum inlet air pressure.
-
WARNING HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Do not exceed maxiĆ
mum inlet air pressureof 160 psi(11 bar).Operating lift at higher
pressure may cause lift damage and/or personal injury and/or
property damage. Do not service or clean pump, hoses or dispensĆ
ing valve while the system is pressurized.
WARNING DO NOT EXCEED DRUM PRESSURE LIMITS.
Know the pressure limitations of the drum and regulate the air presĆ
sure within safe limits when supplying air follower plate.
CAUTION Be certain all operators of this equipment have
been trained for safeworking practices,understand it's limitaĆ
tions, and wear their safety goggles/equipment as required.

LIFT/RAM INSTALLATION
WARNING Failure to properly install the lift assembly can
result in severe personal injury and property damage. Read
the warning on page 2.
1. Establish the desired location for the lift/ram and pay special attenĆ
tion to work area above, this area above the lift must be open, withĆ
out obstructions and safely away from any electrical devices.
2. Place the pump on the follower plate and align the pump and folĆ
lower plate on the base and assemble pump to the mounting brackĆ
et on the ram.

3. Assemble air hose to air motor inlet.
4. Install the check and follower plate air hose from the Control Valve.
5. Assemble the vent plug to the follower plate.
NOTE: The ram was tested at the factory. The unit should be generally
checked over for leakage because the fittings on the system may have
loosened in shipment.
TO RAISE LIFT, (THE FIRST TIME):
1. Take note of the pump/drum clearance above. Be certain the lift is
clear of any objects above. Also refer to OPERATING AND SAFEĆ
TY PRECAUTIONS found on page 2.
2. Connect the air supply (160 PSI MAX) to the air inlet.
3. Shift the control valve lever to the ``UP'' position.
4. Raise the lift high enough to clear the height of the drum. Stop the
lift upward travel by moving the control valve lever to the (center)
``NEUTRAL'' position.
TO RAISE LIFT, (NORMAL OPERATION):
1. Adjust the Follower Plate Air Valve pressure up to approximately 8
psig. DO NO OVERPRESSURIZE THE DRUM to avoid damage.
NOTE: Air from this valve will only pass when the Control Lever is
in the ``UP'' position.
2. Shift the control valve lever to the ``UP'' position.
3. Raise the lift high enough to clear the height of the drum. Stop the
lift upward travel by moving the control valve lever to the (center)
``NEUTRAL'' position.

TO CHANGE DRUM:
NOTE: The Control Lever should be in the ``NEUTRAL'' position.
1. Place a new drum into position.
TO LOWER LIFT:
WARNING PINCH HAZARD. Follower can descend quickly
causing injury. Keep hands clear when aligning with containĆ
er. Read the warning on page 2.
NOTE: Be certain the Follower Plate vent plug has been removed so
that the air trapped between the follower and the material is allowed to
escape from this vent. Captured air between the follower plate and
drum will escape.
NOTE: The lift may hesitate momentarily before starting downward,
the air pressure inside the post air chamber must decrease before it will
begin to descend.
1. Shift the control valve lever to the ``DOWN'' position and proceed to
lower the pump.
2. Replace the vent plug once the material begins to ooze from the
vent opening.
