3.1.1. Ensure the forklift truck’s forks are the correct distance apart to fit into the Drum Grab.
3.1.2. Drive forklift forwards so that forks enter the channels in the base of the Drum Grab (fig.1.1) and continue forwards until the forks
are fully inserted.
3.1.3. Tighten down fully the 2 large T-Bar tightening bolts (fig.1.2).
3.2.1. Drive the forklift towards drum to be picked up slowly, as in fig.2, ensuring the lower grab jaw (fig.1.3) is just below the rim of the
drum (fig.4). Slight misalignment will be accomodated by the guides (fig.1.4) steering the head assembly into the correct alignment.
3.2.2. Raising the grab with the lower jaw under the rim will cause the drum to tilt slightly, causing the jaw to swing out as in fig.3 and nip
the rim against the upper jaw, suspending the drum (fig.4)
3.2.3. Continue to raise the forks to lift drum from ground.
3.3.1. Lowering the forks will cause the drum to stand upright, releasing the lower jaw and freeing the drum.
4. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
4.1. When not in use store in a safe location where the head assembly is protected from accidental damage.
4.2. Lubricate all pivot points regularly but ensure the the jaw faces remain free of lubricant.
