GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TYPICAL PUMP APPLICATION
The ARO Model 651616-X Two Post Lift / Ram uses two 3-1/2’’ air-powered cylinders connected by tubular steel cross member and is welded
to a heavy gauge base plate. It is normally used to raise and lower a fluid
handling pump and follower in and out of a standard 55 - gallon drum, or
when used as a ram it can force high viscosity flowable material into the
pump inlet. It is offered with several follower plate options (see page 4)
which will accommodate most of the ARO Fluid Handling Industrial
pumps and allow connection directly to the pump lower end. There are
also mounting locations on the horizontal beam for the vertical rods allowing use with 5 - gallon containers. Pump air controls (F-R-L) can be
mounted on the top horizontal support beam using the holes provided.
Cast aluminum followers are fitted with a dual lip seal or dual ‘‘O” ring
seal to wipe the drum clean and seal off the material from the atmosphere. Several material options are available for the follower plate outer seal. Select a compatible seal for the material being pumped. The
model chart above shows the pump motors they will generally accommodate.
When properly secured, this unit has the ability to raise a pump to clear a
standard 55 - gallon drum. The operator is then able to easily remove the
pump from the drum.
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 relieving the
vacuum (refer to page 5).
Refer to page 2 for optional accessories available for pump stabilization
and drum hold down.

Z Read and heed all Warnings, Cautions and Safety Precautions
before operating.
Z Use only genuine ARO replacement partsto assurecompatible
pressure rating and longest service life.
WARNING
CRETE FLOOR. An improperly secured lift could be unsafe. Do
not attempt to use the lift until all possible measures have been
taken to insure that the lift has been properly installed and the
base has been secured. It is the duty of the installer to provide an-
chor bolts / studs (not included) and for them to be securely embedded in concrete which is more than 2’’ thick.
WARNING
above the lift is clear of electrical fixtures, devices and w iring.
Examine the working area and take necessary action to assure adequate clearance for the lift and pump assembly to raise to the fullest
limit and function properly.
ANCHOR THE LIFT BASE SECURELY TO A CON-
Shock hazard.
Striking electrical
fixtures can cause
injury.
Keep the area
overhead clear of
electrical devices.
PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK. Be certain the area
Pinch hazard.
Follower can descend
quickly causing injury.
Keep hands clear
when aligning with
container.
WARNING
PINCH HAZARD. Follower can descend quickly,
causing injury. Keep hands clear when aligning with container.
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 REPOSITION IT
WITH YOUR HANDS; release the downward pressure, raise the lift,
realign the drum and restart.
WARNING
STANDCLEAR. When raising or lowering the lift,
keep clear and operate from a safe position.
Hazardous pressure.
Can result in injury or
property damage.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Do not exceed maxi-
Do not exceed maximum inlet air pressure.
mum inlet air pressure of 150 psi (10.3 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 dispensing valve while the system is pressurized.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED DRUM PRESSURE LIMITS.
Know the pressure limitations of the drum and regulate the air pressure within safe limits when supplying air to the follower plate.
CAUTION
Be certain all operators of this equipment have
been trained for safe working practices, understand it’s limitations and wear their safety goggles / equipment as required.
