For operation only on clean, level floors of suitable bearing capacity. Do not use on sloped surfaces, ramps, irregular or 

debris strewn floors.

WARNING 

- Do NOT modify the unit. 

 

Under no circumstances should any modifications be made to the Morse machinery without factory authorization. Any 

modifications may void the warranty. This machine was designed to perform a specific job and alterations may result in 

injury to operator or machine.

WARNING 

- No loose fitting clothing. 

 

Wear close-fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Loose fitting clothing may become caught on 

the machinery and cause severe personal injury.

WARNING 

- Hydraulic fluid under pressure can be hazardous. 

 

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving 

pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Keep hands and body away from pinholes and nozzles, which eject fluid 

under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard to search for leaks. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately and 

inform them of the nature of the accident.

CAUTION 

- Wear safety shoes. 

 

Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles and hard toe protection.
