CAUTION
– Do Not Transport with Drum Raised. Always lower the drum holder to lowest position before transporting.
The unit can become unstable when transporting with a raised load.
5.) Lift drum to desired pouring height. Operate the tilt control as described in “Machine Description - Controls” (page
3) to adjust the drum attitude. This is especially important when lifting an open drum. The floor lock should be engaged while dispensing
/ draining.
6.) When dispensing is complete, tilt drum back to upright position. Disengage the floor lock and lower the drum to transporting height;
about 6” off the floor.
WARNING
- Stay Clear of Raised Drum. NEVER allow anyone to be below any part of a raised drum handler or drum. Remain
behind the push handle while handling a drum.
WARNING
– Do NOT Disengage the Cinch Chain When Drum is off the Ground. When the drum is in the upright position, lower
the drum to the floor before releasing the cinch chain.
7.) Push the unit to the drum storage area and lower to the floor in an upright position. Release the cinch chain from the ratchet by applying
pressure to the ratchet handle in a clockwise direction with one hand and opening the pawl to free the ratchet with the other hand. Remove
the cinch chain link from the ratchet.
Maintenance
Periodic inspection for the general condition of structural and mechanical components is imperative for safe and efficient operation.
Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. Tighten, adjust, or replace parts
as necessary to prevent failure and maintain proper function.
Inspect the hydraulic system for oil drips, hose damage, or other signs of wear. Inspect the level and condition of the hydraulic fluid.
Replace any parts that show signs of wear.
Grease wheel bearings periodically. Oil or grease all moving parts including: the three clevis pins and the surfaces of the boom which
contact the inside of the mast cap, the hinge pin, the gears and sprockets in the tilt drive, and the ratchet and pawl.
Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with the correct, genuine Morse parts.
Hydraulic pump is shipped filled with Noco Premium plus automatic transmission fluid d/m. Material safety data sheet (msds) is available
online. Change oil yearly, sooner depending on dirty conditions or outdoor use. Replace oil with Mobil dte 24 or equivalent for indoor use
(Mobil dte 13 for outdoor use).
