Material handling is dangerous. To reduce the likelihood of
serious personal injury, each person who might use or maintain this
product should:
o Read and understand the owner’s manual before using or performing
maintenance on the drum handler.
o Unload the handler before maintaining/servicing the handler.
o DO NOT use the handler unless all labels shown on p. 7 are in place
and readable.
o DO NOT use the handler if any damage or unusual movement is
observed, or if it seems to be malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor
or maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
o Always watch the drum grippers and the drum carefully while using
the drum handler.
o Before transporting a drum, elevate the forks sufficiently to raise
the drum a few inches off of the ground. Transport the drum as
close to the ground as possible.
o DO NOT exceed the maximum rated load of your model drum
handler. The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the machine data
plate. It indicates the net capacity of the drum handler with a
static load that is centered and evenly distributed.
o Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation.
o Only use DGS-A and DGD-A units to lift and transport steel drums.
o DO NOT modify the handler unless you are CERTAIN that the handler
will be safe to use afterwards. Any modification automatically voids
the limited warranty.
