Now secure, address the drum you wish to move and begin to approach the drum halfway up with the clamp arms in the horizontal position between the rolling hoops. 

Upon contact with the drum the two curved arms will open automatically with the hinged feature. They open as you address and close around the drum as your proceed forward.
