WARNING

(continued from prior page)

 Stay clear of the drum and lifter while the lifter is in use! No part of your body should ever be beneath any

part of the elevated lifter or drum. NEVER lift a drum over people.

 ONLY use this device to move closed head and open head steel drums. If used to move open head

drums, lids must be installed and solidly fastened to them. ONLY attach the lifter to the top rim of a drum.

DO NOT use this lifter to move a drum if the jaws cannot securely clamp the rim.

 DO NOT raise a drum higher than necessary. Only elevate a drum a few inches above the ground.

 Transport drums slowly. Avoid bumps, potholes, etc. when transporting a drum which could disrupt the

lifter's grasp on the rim.

 Avoid sudden stops when transporting drums. Brake gradually. Sudden stops could cause the lifter to slide

on the forks and could damage the safety strap, hook, and/or quick link. Turn slowly. Sharp, quick turns

could disrupt the clamp on the drum and damage the lifter.

 DO NOT modify the lifter in any way. Unapproved modifications automatically void the

(see p. 7) and might make the product unsafe to use.

 DO NOT use the lifter unless labels are in place, readable, & undamaged. See

 DO NOT use the drum lifter without the safety chain. The safety chain is an essential safety-enhancing

feature. Always wrap the chain around the fork carriage and fasten the free end to the chain or quick link

without slack whenever the lifter is used.

 DO NOT lift a drum lying on its side. All drums must be upright before attaching the lifter to them.

 DO NOT stand, sit, or ride on a suspended drum.

 DO NOT attempt to lift a drum that weighs more than the capacity of the lifter (1,500 lb.; 681.8 kg).

 DO NOT leave a suspended drum unattended.

 DO NOT release a drum while it is suspended. Lower the drum completely before releasing it.
