4. aSSEmbly
4.1. Place the two halves of the grab together as shown in fig.1 so that the pivot holes are aligned and slide the pivot pin ‘A’ through both
halves of the grab.
4.2. slide washer ‘c’ over the end of the protruding pivot pin (see fig.2) and secure the assembly by inserting the retaining clip ‘B’.
4.3. When the assembled grab is laid down it will tend to fold flat. if the grab is then picked up by hand at the lifting point ‘f’ (see fig.3)
the grab will tend to close up. for this reason it is important to keep your hands away from the central pivot area to avoid any scissor
action that could trap your hands or fingers.
4.4. When placing the grab onto the top of a drum lift the grab with two hands at points ‘d’ & ‘e’ (see fig.3).
