Important
1. Please read all instructions thoroughly before attempting to operate your new
Morse drum handler.
2. When loading, unloading, operating, or maintaining your MORSE drum handler,
always use care and good judgment. Maintain secure footing and a firm hold.
Keep hands and loose clothing away from all moving parts. Never allow anyone
to be below any part of a raised drum handler or drum.
3. Read operating instructions and review pictures in sales brochure before
operation.
4. 185 Series are a “Group 1 structural and mechanical” below-the-hook lifting
devices which are covered by the American National Standard ASME B30.20.
The user should comply with all aspects of this standard.
Operating Instructions
1.
Start with Kontrol-Karrier on floor. Lower hoist and engage hoist hook to lift
Kontrol-Karrier.
2.
Raise hoist to lift Kontrol-Karrier clear of floor and transport it to drum.
3. Suspend Kontrol-Karrier at a height which aligns drum holder (saddle) with center
of drum.
4. Open toggle clamp by activating release lever and swing both
hinged bands to open position. Push Kontrol-Karrier against
drum so that saddle will encircle drum.
5. Secure drum: Close two hinged bands around drum, latch toggle
clamp (see detail A).
6. Raise hoist and position drum at pouring station.
7. Pour drum by pulling on pull chain loop and rotating drum to
suitable pouring angle. For best control of drum pouring angle,
pay out one side of chain loop while pulling in the other side, thus
being able to hold back the drum rotation. Chain lock on bottom
of power arm can be used to prevent drum rotation. To do so,
crisscross chain and insert in each slot of chain lock. If drum
handler is equipped with MORStop Tilt-Brake, there is no need
to hold tension on both sides of chain loop. Braking is immediate
and self actuating, without additional steps by the operator. To
add MORStop Tilt-Brake to your drum handler, order Kit # 3900-P
for a field installation kit.
8. After pouring is completed, rotate drum back to vertical position and lower hoist to
return drum to floor.
9. To remove drum: Activate release lever, open toggle clamp and swing both
hinged bands to open position.
Maintenance
Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components
is imperative for safe and efficient operation.
1. Lubricate gear teeth and roller chain.
2. Clean and oil saddle hinges and other moving parts periodically. Clean and
lubricate more often in environments where dust, dirt or other foreign particles will
effect the performance of moving parts.
3. Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, drum holder and contact areas
for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. Tighten, adjust, or replace parts as
necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.
4. Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with correct, genuine Morse
parts.
