Safety Instructions & Maintenance（Important Notices）
1. The drum lifting clamp is used to lift various drums, including open-top steel drums and different types of metal transfer bins.
2. If the spring fails, manual operation can still reset the clamp.
3. The clamp can be used to lift drums partially filled with materials.
4. Lifting drums without flange rim is dangerous, as the jaw may slip off. Reinforcement via welding or bolts is mandatory for rimless drums.
5. Overload lifting is strictly prohibited.
Maintenance Guidelines
1. Lubricate all moving parts with light-duty lubricant every 10–15 days.
2. Keep the clamp clean. Remove dirt and contaminants regularly to extend service life.

Operating Procedure
The diagram demonstrates standard operating methods: lock the jaws firmly onto the top flange of the drum for vertical lifting or angled transportation.
