1. 

Using the “LIFT” control as described in “Machine Description 

2. 

- Controls” (page 4), position the drum holder assembly with 

the back band at the middle of the drum. With the ratchet plate 

swung open and the cinch chain hanging from the chain hook, 

push the unit until the back band rests firmly against the drum. 

Some adjustment to the tilt angle of the saddle may be necessary 

to ensure band fits flush on the drum. Engage the floor lock.

 

Attaching the drum:

3. 

 Drape the cinch chain across the front 

of the drum and engage a chain link into the slot in the ratchet 

(Figure 3.2). Turn the ratchet clockwise to tighten cinch chain. If 

ratchet turns until the pawl is beyond the last ratchet tooth, turn 

the ratchet back and slide the next link into the ratchet slot and 

try tightening again. The cinch chain must be held tightly against 

the drum with the pawl engaged securely in the ratchet teeth. 

Operate the lift function to lift drum clear of floor. Disengage floor lock. Roll to dispensing location.  NOTE: Do not allow the drum to 

4. 

impact on floor, pouring station, etc. or a spill or damage could occur.

 

 

 

 

 

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. 

Lift drum to desired pouring height. Operate the tilt control as described in “Machine Description - Controls” (page 4) to adjust the 

5. 

drum attitude. The floor lock should be engaged while dispensing / draining.

 

When dispensing is complete, tilt drum back to upright position. Disengage the floor lock and lower the drum to transporting height; 

6. 

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.

 

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 

7. 

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.

1. 

Periodically inspect all moving parts, framework, drum holder and contact areas for signs of wear, fatigue, or loosening. Tighten, adjust, 

2. 

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 of the hydraulic fluid. Replace any 

3. 

parts that show signs of wear.

Grease wheel bearings periodically. Oil or grease all moving parts, including: the gears and sprockets in the tilt drive, and the ratchet 

4. 

and pawl.

Worn or damaged parts must be properly replaced with the correct, genuine Morse parts.
