OPERATING PROCEDURE

POSITIONING the CHAIN-LOCKING BRACKET   -   Attach (weld) the chain-locking bracket to the left side of the mast of the lift truck approximately 48 in (122 cm) from the ground.

MOUNTING   -   Secure the BARREL DUMPER to the fork lift truck.   Load center calculations are based upon mounting at a distance of 4 in (10 cm) from the vertical face of the forks.

FASTENING the CHAIN   -   Any link of the chain may be slipped into the slot of the chain-locking bracket.   Slack in the chain will allow the drum to reach the desired dumping height. Enough chain is provided to empty the drum at a height of 120 in (3 m).   The chain-locking bracket holds any excess chain.

ENGAGING the BARREL   -   Raise the BARREL DUMPER and then lower the ring over the barrel.   The gripping mechanism will lock onto the lip of the barrel.   A lanyard controls the lever that disengages the lock.

ACTIVATING the DUMPING MECHANISM   -   Raise the forks until the chain is tight.   As raising continues, the barrel turns forward.   While the barrel is ascending, the pouring lip is decending.   Lower the forks to bring the empty barrel back to the upright position.
