  1. Loosen the locking nut (5) so the clamp shaft (2) can extend to the rear of the unit.

  2. Pull the clamp pawl handle (3) towards the front of the unit to unlock the clamp handle (4).

  3. Lift the clamp handle (4) upwards to rotate the clamp shaft foot (2) 90 degrees upwards.

  4. Let the clamp pawl (3) drop down to hold the clamp handle (4) in position.

  5. Use appropriate heavy equipment to lift the unit into mounting position on front wall of the container. The foot of the mount clamp (5) should fit into corner casting on each side of the container.
